So only GalNet & CGs until "early 2023" other than one new mission variant? :ROFLMAO:
That's quite.... dry... in terms of actual content.

Not bad, the transfer news were highly needed. The dev update on the other hand looks a bit sparce, to say the least. The narrative expansions seem to be a bit more substancial according to arthur, but we'll see.

So Arx are NOT being transferred but cosmetics ARE being transferred.

There is an * for the cosmetics transfer saying that applied cosmetics will remain applied. Is this a requirement or are non applied cosmetics also being transferred?

One thing to note. It would be a really nice gesture for FDEV to hold a black Friday-like event, where they make all of the cosmetics available and at a discount. This will encourage all of the console commanders to spend all of their Arx prior to the transfer, and more importantly, feel good about it.

Its because assets are actually being duplicated, and obviously they don't want to duplicate currency based on real money.

You get cosmetics transferred, you get a free copy of Horizons with it.
Pretty decent as a nice gesture

None applied will also transfer so you can spend Arx before transfer if you want. They explained this specifically in the stream.

For a second Arthur mentioned in parts 'some of you have' and 'then tin foiled hatted' and then he changed the subject because he didn't want to give too much away. I get the impression that whatever it is has been touched upon by some here. And whatever it is hasn't been done before in ED. My two top guesses are either on foot thargoids or ship interiors.

It's kinda ridiculous that Frontier took almost 3 months to confirm the console to PC transfer after they announced the cancellation of the entire console development due to their own overconfidence and lacks of proper development with this game.

Agreed.



Also bummer my FC won't be saved. My crew I'd done everything with since day one and all my stats...just gone. As my NPC crew I've had for years...gone. There must be something key about them that isn't allowed to be transfered unlike say how your commander looks.

It sucks (also sucks I still cant have my cobra Mk IV)

But I'm not going to lie. I didn't expect anything from FD from how they dropped the ball on everything and were COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNPREPARED for the reaction after dropping console support. This should have been ready day one of the announcement no excuses.

But credit where credit is due, you did it FD when I geuuinelly did not expect you to do so.

But for future reference, I don't care to hear excuses or why you messed up or anything like that. Be more prepared in the future please.

Greetings Commanders,

We’d like to thank you all for your patience whilst we’ve been working on our communications and development plans for the remainder of the year.

Following the launch of Odyssey, our primary focus has been on performance, optimisation and bug fixing, along with adding more features. This focus has had a knock-on effect with regards to our plans for this year and beyond and delayed our communications.

We understand the concern and frustration this has caused and hope this post goes some way to alleviate those feelings. Below we discuss profile transfers for console players and give an overview of the updates coming before the end of 2022.

Console Profile Transfers

We can now confirm that players will be able to copy their profiles from console to PC in light of Odyssey’s cancellation on Xbox and PlayStation. This process will be time limited and optional. We will provide a date for this process once it is confirmed.

The original profile will remain playable on console and the new PC profile will be a copy. Only one profile may be copied over per copy of the game. Please also be aware that this will be a one-time only process.

Elements that will be copied
  • Ships, Holo-Me, weapons, SRVs and SLFs
    • Including Cobra Mk IV if owned
  • Core progression (this includes…)
    • Inventory
    • Reputation
    • Navy Ranks
    • Permits
    • Codex Discoveries
    • Engineering progress
    • Guardian Tech Broker progress
  • NPC Crew progress
  • Cosmetics*
*Cosmetic items applied through the Livery (ships and Fleet Carriers) and Holo-Me will remain applied.

Elements that won’t be copied
  • Commander name*
  • ARX Balance**
  • Squadron membership
  • Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups
  • Current mission progress
  • NPC Crew names and appearances

*The process will require a new name to be chosen if the original name is not available on PC.

**ARX balances cannot be transferred. We recommend that anyone who submits their account for the transfer process purchases any desired cosmetics beforehand. Any unspent ARX post-transfer will remain available on the original console profile.

Fleet Carriers and their contents

Fleet Carrier ownership cannot be transferred from one Commander to another. To players that wish to own a Fleet Carrier post-transfer we would advise the following:
  1. Decommission your Fleet Carrier ahead of the transfer
  2. Wait for the decommissioning to complete (two weeks).
  3. Check that credits from the decommissioning have been returned.
  4. Complete the profile transfer process
  5. Re-purchase a Fleet Carrier on PC
Precise dates for the opening and close of this process will be announced closer to the time.

Roadmap

Here we present our top-level roadmap for the remainder of 2022. Our three focuses before the year ends are launching the next phase of the narrative, stability and optimisation. We’ll release three more updates to support these.

Within the narrative, human space balances on the precipice as tension mounts within the bubble. The Azimuth Saga will conclude in a grand finale event, the consequences of which will mark the beginning of the next stage of the Elite story in Update 14.

Meanwhile, updates 12 and 13 will largely focus on quality-of-life changes, stability and optimisation. Work has also begun on a major feature overhaul for 2023 that we’ll discuss later in the year.

Please note that the details and timings of each release are subject to change and that any adjustments will be shared ahead of time. Beyond this we are also discussing additional game content, and we’ll reveal it once confirmed.

Development Updates and Streams

Following the launch of Odyssey in 2021, we started publishing monthly development posts to share our progress on subsequent updates. In light of the remaining updates for 2022 being confirmed above, these will not continue. However, we will still provide detailed patch notes, information, and other relevant details around updates and hotfixes as they are released between each development post.

Regular streams from the Community team have returned. Going forwards, these will be fortnightly on Thursdays at 16:00-18:00 GMT. This additional time between streams will allow us to put on longer shows and take full advantage of the in-office studio. Frameshift Live has only just started and we have many exciting ideas to explore in the future! If you have not been watching, these streams now feature new and exclusive Twitch Drops that can be earned simply by watching.

We will also be launching our Partnership Programme later this year, offering content creators their own exclusive Twitch drops their communities can earn by watching them. More on this in the coming months!

We hope this post clarifies our continued support and plans for Elite. As always, we thank you for your feedback and support.

Ive only got One Question If this is a Once in a life time transfer does it mean tht i willnt be able to transfer back with this account to pc from the xbx.
The reason I ask is about 7 or 8 months ago I transferd from pc to xbx as i was playing more on my Xbox series X, so can or will I be able to trans the account back to PC as its not being worked on or upgraded anymore.

Not really, I don’t even play ED on a console so it doesn’t even affect me. I just think it would be a nice gesture for console players that have to go through the whole ordeal just to keep playing the game they enjoy.
