I agree. The mat gathering is the issue here. Unlocking the engineers is a pain but it's a goal. The mat farming though.... A mind numbing grind and a never ending one at that.
Not to be a cynic... Oh ok, that's a lie, I am a cynic... But...
The phrase "feature overhaul" in itself doesn't say anything about new features. And an overhaul will often include the removal of things (e.g. if they are deemed no longer worth supporting). I'm just hoping that an overhaul doesn't mean the final death of VR.
But on a positive note, I am looking forward to the streams and the surprises. The nice ones, that is.

What about console players that already have pc account and don't want to loose it? My PS4 account is a lot more advanced but I have a lot of stuff in odyssey too. shell we get second pc account or our current pc account will be replaced? can we just transfer some ships and modules and material from the console?
This one even I can answer!
You get a new free Horizons account on the PC, with most everything transferred, and you even get to keep your console account with its existing progress and bling.

I brought the Odyssey Deluxe edition, m8. I have both Horizons and Odyssey already I believe.
It's unfortunate that I paid for it 2 days before they announced the free version.I think i can't refund it because I already downloaded it? I'm really a newb at PC's and PC gaming... lol. Thanks for answering though!
I don't know why it needs to keep being repeated, but since Frontier has already given these details:
1: The console account transfer is going to be to a new PC Horizons account.
2: The console account transfer is not going to delete your console account.
3: The console account transfer is not going to merge with an existing PC account.
4: The console account transfer is not going to remove access to or over-write any existing PC accounts.
5: It's a new account. They are literally taking your console save and making a copy of it as a new PC account, with the stated exceptions of what they can't transfer (CMDR name, socials, Fleet Carriers, Arx)
6: No really, it's a new account.
7: Not a merge into your existing account.
8: Not deleting your existing accounts.
9: New account yes. Change existing account no.

Or can I change it, even if it's not taken, to be something different than my xbox save if I wish?
Yes, m8. And Thanks to Mark Zero
Zac, in all the optimisation that has taken place, I believe a few extra bugs have arisen.
A couple I've come across repeatedly in the last few days are:
When you shoot a guard silently, very often you hear his colleague shout out a threat "You'll pay for that!" or whatever - the point being that he hasn't heard you, and he won't attack you, but it's as if at moment the guy dies, the program hasn't quite told his buddy that he doesn't know about it yet. It's not a huge deal but it does destroy the atmopshere of a stealth mission.
Also when you go to a settlement/wrecked ship to takel an item, sometimes (at a settlement) it shows up on the terminals and sometimes it doesn't. Very often it does not exist in the specified locker or seemingly anywhere else. You can always log on and off and to fix it, but these things, in my experience used to work flawlessly.

action speaks louder than words can't hear announcements of an announcement of coming soon can't talk about after so many years

Regarding your situation now that you have offered new details I can't answer. It's probably worth it to ask support directly.
Just quoting so they know these are MOST important. Thanks for posting early. Great questions to have answered for the community
Those are interesting thoughts. It would be nice if they come from FDev otherwise they are meaningless. This new account will be linked to my existing steam account or to new steam account? PS4 and PC accounts are already linked to the same email. there are many questions that are pure speculations at this point. Everything mentioned so far was aimed at console players with NO EXISTING pc account.
Quite sure that has been in there pretty much since release.
They did come from FDev. Everything I'm saying has been said by FDev. Publicly. They said it on the livestream they announced console transfers on. They said it here too.
These are not "interesting thoughts", they are the expectations FDev has set in their public announcements about the upcoming console transfers. They specifically said that the console transfer is to a new account and will not affect or merge with any existing PC accounts. They said that on the livestream.
There are a few unanswered questions (for the moment) that can have answers easily inferred if you listen to what has been confirmed. I.e., if it's a new account, and new accounts require a unique email address attached to them, you probably will need to have a different email registered to the transfer account than you have on an existing PC account. Because obvious. If you do not have a secondary email account, setting up a secondary that forwards to your primary is not difficult.
FDev is not the best at communication, but you will have more information to work with if you actually listen to what they say instead of assuming they're lying to you at all times.
I think the key feature overhaul will be planet generation.
