In addition to the recently announced support for SteamVR, Frontier Developments also has announced a new competitive community event that you can participate in.
CQC is a hugely anticipated addition to Elite: Dangerous, adding a bit more excitement to the usual PvP fare, letting you compete against each other with different objective types, letting you capture the flag, participate in classic all-out deathmatch or even a team deathmatch mode. Crucially, the entire galaxy map can be used, meaning you can fight across the entire 100,000 light years of the Milky Way.
Elite: Dangerous 1.4, along with the CQC add-on will be a free update that launches in October for PC, Mac and Xbox One.
