Please remove the display of CQC rank from my panel

No, not too late at all .... it's a continuation of a request that has received zero response from FD, despite the avalanche of player support for it.

CQC failed for ... reasons .... players weren't playing it, so FD shoved it in our faces by adding it to the RH panel, thinking ... "that'll show them ... they'll want to play it now" ... hoping to shame us into using the 'game.'

Well players didn't ... and indeed discovered they couldn't even if they wanted to ... and the requests to remove it from the panel continued.

And FD has been completely deaf to this repeated and polite request. Threads like this will continue, I'm afraid, because FD (who claims to listen to the player base) is just not responding to us intelligently on this one at all !

It's a lost cause, I think. It was one of those intentional integration type decisions that isn't really an option to change at this point, I think. I don't care for it personally, since I don't think it makes much sense. Is it still a Federation endeavor? I play as an independent pilot and as such I'm not sure why the Pilots Federation would honor it. Yes, it is more skill based than the other ranks. No arguing that. That skill though isn't directly compatible with the main game.

It would actually be rather nice if it were, but I don't see that happening any time soon either.

It's a bit of an oddity. It's been christened though, regardless of what we might think about it. The cat is out of the bag.

Frontier aren't going to take rank "relevance" away from people, just like they'll never lower FSD jump ranges and so on.

If so many people are asking for it then maybe they should remove the CQCC rank display from the cockpit.

...but to make up for it, they should make the lowest rank the one that you have displayed to other players <grin>

I think I'd prefer to see CQC brought in to the main game and made more of and so justify its inclusion on that panel.
Right now though, yes, it seems to have unreasonable prominence. I don't object to its presence enough to petition for its removal but it does seem a bit out of place.

I'd love to undertake a mission with a group of friends in fighters protecting a convoy under attack while travelling from A to B in an asteroid field.

If other missions/CGs can re-use these mechanics to offer PvP gameplay/mechanics too, great!


All I know is fighter based gameplay in the core game would be more interesting and of more use to the game (ie: used/leveraged in a myriad ways) than it being a stand alone game collecting dust for the most part.

This is getting my support as well. But.... a well done implementation of CQC, a complete re-work of it, is what it really needs for maximum satisfaction imo. The rank names seem related in a way to being a celebrity. CQC could be an implemented 'sports' game CMDRs plays in the Elite universe with news, ads, sponsors, etc. While it is technically not part of the game, to Prestige in CQC gives you a system permit, so kind of part of it.


Or... at the very least, let players have the option to simply hide this rank from the HUD.


Personally I have doubt I could ever be synced with the time where most people play CQC - not living in the UK - so that is mainly why I am bothered by this puny rank which I could hardly have go up - though I could be wrong. Add AIs and I'll play...

Yes.. but what you propose is PvE Combat.. we already have rank for that - Combat Rank.

CQC is PvP... it's the hardest rank to get. You only don't like it because it reminds you how rubbish in PvP you are.
I have a lot of respect for Elite CQC players... they deserve that rank to stay on that panel.

They do? Oh, cool. Would be nice if they stop hiding in CQC where it's safe and there aren't any repercussions. ;) Not that there are really in the game though either. :(

So, unable to make a reasoned point you now descend into needless jibes/strawmen/insults? Anyhow, if I recall, for the period I played CQC, I had something like a 10-1 Kill/Ratio before I got bored with it. Now, I'm sure that's not great, but I suspect it's hardly "rubbish"?

Ultimately, my view - CQCs development effort would have been best invested in mechanics in the game instead of a stand alone game which collects dust for the vast majority of people who bought the product for ED (not CQC) - I'm afraid has nothing to do with how good I am at it. That view stands on its own merit of course!
