Each commander has to be linked to a Frontier account, which has to be linked to an email address.
So your XB commander should have behind it an XB account with an email address and based on that account a frontier account was created and linked to your xb account
Now if you have an Epic account, created with the same email address as you XB account ... that means trouble
Initially i had it like that too.

To avoid any issues (i'm using an outlook.com account) i created an email alias in my outlook account, and i changed the email address for my Epic account.
Then i could easily link my epic account to a new frontier account.

So now i have my XB account (on the main email account), the Epic account on an alias to my main account, and a Steam account created long time ago on a completely different email account.
No issues, no mix-ups (although i had to create some folders and some move rulles in my Outlook account so the mailsi receive for the alias address are kept in a separated folder)

Oh god lol.

I actually JUST read the bulletin about the transfers with the FAQ that came out June 1st (probably would have saved me a bunch of thinking had I saw it first!)

So in my case, couldn't I just transfer my Xbox CMDR save over to my (Epic) PC CMDR save and opt for the (according to the FAQ) deletion of my PC CMDR save to be overwritten by the Xbox save?

Quote by Bruce:
I already have a PC account. Do I need a new one?

No! If you would like to use an account that you already own, clearing your existing PC save will allow your console Commander to then be copied to this account.  If you have an account with a Commander that you would like to keep, you can use a free Horizons account that we will provide for the console profile to move to. To use this free account, you will need to register for a new Frontier account using an email that differs from your existing account.

To delete an existing PC Commander profile, open the main menu, select 'Options' and then select 'Clear Save'. You will be asked to confirm the action before your save is deleted.

That's what interests me... Will there be a complete and absolute separation of the SOLO and COOPERATIVE mode from the OPEN mode? This is the most anticipated change by many, which will breathe meaning and life into the game...

Those who want to play safely, let them play alone or in a cooperative - without the possibility of influencing the open world in any way. The living world should be alive, without any otherworldly nonsense and the abuzes generated by it. With a meaningful struggle for data, territories, wealth and power! A universal and full-fledged start from scratch in this mode will be of particular importance. When will it finally happen?! Don't the developers understand that this will be a real Elite DANGEROUS game and an endless golden sea for them?!

Only 3 ??I count 12 ??
Xbox open private and solo ,
PS open private and solo,
PC EDH open solo and private
PC EDO open and solo and private ? As it stands . So do you want to get rid of the other influences as well ( ok fdev are doing a great job of discouraging of consoles ) ?? But really ??

As there has never been the slightest sign that FDev had any intention of changing this in the more than six years I have been playing I would say that there is no chance of them destroying the game in this way.

That sounds like an interesting game but it doesn’t sound like Elite.

I suspect they look at the thousands upon thousands that play in the groups and solo and think that the game modes are working fine especially as they don’t have to pay for separate servers to run the modes on.

Heh, hope dies last. I won't wait long anyway, there are good alternatives. But if developers ignore such requests, this is a serious problem that almost killed and is finally finishing off the game. I don't understand in any way why all these innovations like aircraft carriers that have ed up the whole komos and even the rest of the earth - if there is practically no sense in this banal? But if players fought for their territories, defended the borders and the influence of ward systems from other political communities of players, colonized successful worlds and expanded the presence of their clans - it would be a full-fledged and meaningful game. But perhaps enough is enough, although I really feel sorry for the lost potential of the ED.

So, we are - what? - nearly two months since the announcement? Give or take? And all we still know is in the OP, right? I haven't missed anything?

It would be a completely different game, better or worse who knows but not one I would have been playing for so many years nor anticipating for years to come.

I wonder what will prevent you from completely separating the open mode from the other two ? You both play your favorite solos and co-ops. You don't need an open mode, do you? So what's the problem? But here you are openly interfering with those who play in open mode, because you influence the world, being out of reach and practically depriving control and meaning of any conscious activity in open mode. What will actually prevent you from completely separating the open mode from your favorite solo and cooperative ?

1) Equality of modes was part of Kickstarter and as permanent as the exclusivity of the Cobra mk IV.

2) We aren't tied to one mode or another but can switch as we feel like.

3) The BGS affects us all regardless of mode thus all must have access to affecting the BGS.

Hotel California threads have been around since the Kickstarter and have been consistently told the same thing yet they still spring up either oblivious or ignorant of every previous round.

An additional complication is open causing stability issues in popular locations.
