All you need to do is buy a second copy of the game, register CMDR with a 'different' email address (gmail will recognise 'your' address with additional dots) and change details in the launcher when you want to switch - no need to have an actual second installation if you really don't want it.

Well, aside from my opinion that whatever "demands" were made by whatever players not really being a huge consideration, I'm talking more generally than in terms of this specific game and this specific company.
It's about normalising business practices that are, in my view. Terrible
I guess it is a valid opinion. Then again, in market economy, there's hardly any better incentive than money for a company to actually get something done.
I never said there wasn't grind. I said "don't grind". Enjoy the journey and get there when you get there. There's no rush. If you start grinding it will get old very fast. The missions for the ships will still be there when you come back to them. The trade goods and routes will still be there when you come back to them. Just don't grind. If you aren't having fun then you are doing it wrong.
I don't do it for the ships. I do it because I get bored with all that wealth. I don't consider my former character Analee Winston dead. She's retired. With almost 450 million she is set for life so why would she keep working risking her life in a world of cutthroats who'll take your cargo and your life for the money and the lols?
I don't think you can have multiple commanders on console unless you purchase the game more than once and I don't really see how that's possible. The console store is going to recognize that you own it and not allow you to buy it again.
From comments by console players each 'login' shares the software so multiple accounts could exist. Happy to be proven incorrect, I just remember reading this a while back.
This. Plus, you can also create another copy of the Launcher .exe file, open it, then input the details for your second account. Create shortcuts to the two launchers on the desktop and rename them with the corresponding CMDR name, and that's it. You won't need to input your credentials again.

Game sharing.
And no. There's nothing FD can do about it. All games on Xbox can be shared on the console between all accounts using that device. Only way to stop it is for ED to be removed from Xbox entirely.
Just before we get anyone demanding Frontier stop it like always on this topic... Not saying that would be you mind. Just someone.
To OP: I wipe save every few months.
Banned to the shadow server eh ?. You naughty thing.
"So much"?
When I started my alt-account, I took a bunch of data-delivery missions that paid around Cr200k each and had Cr1m within 15 minutes.
I'd already decided on a Cobra build that was going to cost, IIRC, around Cr10m and it took me about 3 or 4 hours to achieve that... and then I went mning.
I don't really buy into the whole "starting again isn't a big deal" thing.
Sure, you start off feeling like it isn't a big deal, but then you want to do some remote-engineering and realise you haven't even unlocked the relevant engineer - let alone pinned any blueprints - so you can't do it, or you hope to fit Guardian modules but realise you haven't unlocked them, or you want to visit SD and realise you can't until you're Elite at something, or you want to buy an iCourier but realise you need the rank, or you want to swap a module but you realise you havent got any stored modules.
Thing is, if you started again because you WANT to do all this stuff again, that's fine. You're going to have a great time.
If, OTOH, you've started again because you wanted to recapture that original feeling of awe, you're probably not going to get it and there's a heap of grind ahead of you before you can get back to where you were before.
This.
The credits are irrelevant, you can get those easy, but the unlocks?
Nah, just buy a bunch of ships that cost loads, park them, then pretend you only have 1000 cress and a sidewinder.
Same effect.
Oh yea the same old line for kids, that one thinks can throw for defending everything in this game. Keep it to yourself and keep repeating it, while giving different materials to unlock fixed, turret, small, medium and large of the same guardian weapon lol.
That's how i play. I try to not grind and avoid aiming to one thing every time. I try to play and enjoy.. but its hard to enjoy when every step hits you with grind walls and various silly time sinks.

You can buy AX weapons. For guardian hybrid weapons, they are a choice. Nobody forces you to unlock them, you choose to and you choose to do it in a way that makes it a grind.
That's a grind of your own choice. None of those weapons are needed.
There are no grind walls apart from the ones you erect yourself.
I know you are trolling like you usually do, but i ll comment on this, since you quoted me.
Its not an option for me, because its a matter of principle. You wouldn't understand though..
Yea yea yea, i know.
Good.
No way I'm going to start over. If I want a clunky un-engineered small ship I can do that, but I don't want to do that at the moment. Maybe later.
I'm not rich (~4B) and I only have 5 ships. I do lawful missions. That's it. I unlocked the guardian fsd booster and other than that I have the basic engineers and rank locked ships unlocked. I won't grind anything else, as I'm tired of it and sure as heck don't want to do it again. Once was enough.
But that's just me. I'm glad that others find different ways to enjoy this game. Just don't expect me to follow along...

I'm setting up my alt account right now. Couldn't pass on the steam sale and I've wanted one for a while now. I wouldn't clear Biff's save but this alt I may.
I get to be a noob again, off to wreak havoc on the new starter system!

I was just as surprised when I found out consoles versions of the game get unlimited Cmdr accounts free.
