I'd imagine the best thing to do is to create a new email, create a new FDev account, ask for an account copy, and then praise the brebus for a new Horizons licence and most of your player progress being ready for playing once you install the PC copy.
Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates

Indeed!Oh.
Seriously though, there's plenty of awesome Elite content creators to choose from!
It says in the OP the process for Fleet Carriers.
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:
- Decommission your Fleet Carrier ahead of the transfer
- Wait for the decommissioning to complete (two weeks).
- Check that credits from the decommissioning have been returned.
- Complete the profile transfer process
- Re-purchase a Fleet Carrier on PC
Yea such a great team
You could most likely ask for your Odyssey account to be transferred to a new account. I just recently did as by mistake I bought a second copy on my normal Frontier account, albeit I never played it. Still just guesswork from my side, so we'll see how it turns out.

He already did.
Here:
I think I will see if support will allow my Frontier Store purchase of Odyssey to be moved to another account. Will have to wait till the transfer is done.
Yea its not like other companys have done it before
I've got console profile that I will be switching/copying over but I also have a PC profile through Steam just for playing in VR. Curious how the copied account on PC will work when I want to play in VR.

I enjoy the views, the discovery, the flights, the silence in the dark .. with proper on-foot VR the game would finally be complete (full immersion) .. try to think about the VR community of your game in the future updates.
I would error on the side of caution and it sounds like they are brute forcing this, so get another account.

You will need a new account. It won't merge your transferred account with an existing PC account.
Hmmm … what if …
Step 1
Liquidate assets of PC CMDR; add credit value to PlayStation CMDR; delete PC CMDR (old transfer process)
Step 2
Full transfer of PlayStation CMDR to PC, where the account name IS now available (new transfer process)
That way I don’t lose the 2 Billion credits I manually transferred to my PC account whilst Frontier were figuring out what they would/wouldn’t provide …
No, i think not.
That's a separate scenario where is confirmed that Console data is NOT merged with an existing PC account.
But if you do a clear save (or if FDev does that if you instruct them to), there is no PC account to be merged with
that would probably work.
That’s not ideal … I wonder if my “workaround” (see previous post) would be possible.

Interesting..... That was possible?
My guess is they are keeping it clean with a copy to a 'new' PC account to keep it simple.
I am going to try the other route of seeing if support can transfer my Odyssey purchase from one PC account to another post transfer.
But, your method may mean I can keep my commander name as I am stormyuk on both platforms.
TBH without too much substance and he ignores they announced a key feature overhaul for 2023, so the game is likely to go beyond 2022 indeed, even if expectations are low ofc. At least there are plans to keep it going, and, after all, we all blaze our own trails as always
O7,
Ok very awesome indeed, I get the Arx balance thing, ok, no worries and honestly I think im broke anyway so don't care. And having to decommission and recommission a fleet carrier to pc is kind of a pain in the butt but, ok, as long as we can get an incarnation of our carrier back I guess we'll deal.
one question about cosmetics, because it has an asterisk and I want it clarified, when you say "Cosmetic items applied through the Livery (ships and Fleet Carriers) and Holo-Me will remain applied."
does that mean our cosmetic inventory of those things will remain in tact or literally just the cosmetics on the ships at the time of copy? if the latter, since you have to decommission your FC, how can that livery remain applied??
Or to more directly ask the question, Will I have to rebuy all the liveries and build my library up again? If so, can I just submit a ticket of my missing liveries to support and they regrant them?
How does this apply to ship kits? will I have to rebuy them? Can Support regrant them if they don't get copied over?
What about the limited time, or event based decals/liveries like the azure paint jobs or Distant Worlds decals? Can those be regranted?
Or are all these questions moot and my entire livery/shipkit and decal library WILL be copied over??
Please advise.
