I asked almost the same question on the ticket and got this reply:
"To answer your question, when you complete the console transfer (option 1), this will replace your current PC commander with your console commander (existing PC CMDR will be removed). There is no need to create a new account or manually delete the save, all will be done automatically through a specialized tool that we are currently developing."
Then there's also this message for those who put up a ticket before the announcement.
"This is a mass response being sent to everyone who has recently contacted Frontier Support to request a platform asset transfer.
I would like to begin by apologising for the length of time it has taken to provide further information related to our intentions with these and thank you for your patience.
Earlier this week, Frontier’s Community team made an announcement on our forums, which confirmed a method of transferring CMDR profiles from console to PC is in development and will become available as soon as possible. Please
click this link to view the original forum post, or
click this link to see a summary of the details on our support page. The support page will be updated in the coming days to provide answers to frequently asked questions about the process.
Until the transfer process is fully developed, we will not be able to provide assistance with new transfer requests, which is why we have removed the original article and ticket form.
This leaves the question of how we can assist those of you who made transfer requests prior to the news that Odyssey would not be coming to consoles, or have made requests since the news (but before the recent announcement mentioned above). In order to find a satisfactory resolution to your ticket, we can offer three options.
Please read the information below and take action based on the option that applies to you.
1. I have a console CMDR and would like to fully transfer their progress, assets and cosmetic items (such as ship kits and paint jobs) to a PC account.
We cannot currently accommodate this request within Customer Support, but please keep an eye on our
‘profile transfer’ support page or our official
Twitter account for news on when the transfer process will be ready for use and further instruction on how to complete the transfer when it is available.
2. I have previously had a platform transfer, whereby my console CMDR’s credit value was transferred to PC, and would now like to transfer the cosmetic items (such as ship kits and paint jobs) to the PC account that I now use.
Please reply to this ticket, confirming that this is what you would like to do, and we will gladly assist in this.
3. I have requested a transfer of my CMDR’s assets in credits and would like to continue with this process. I do not want to transfer my CMDR’s profile to another platform.
If you would like to continue with the process as described in the original application, please confirm this and we will do this for you."
