Greetings Commanders!

I know there is a separate thread on this as part of Discovery Scanner but I want to be a thorough as possible with what's to come regarding the Console Copy Portal opening tomorrow.
To reference mention of this, head on over to the news post here or see the discussion here.

As part of my Discovery Scanner post, I mentioned we would give you all a heads up on information around the launch of the portal itself ahead of time - my exact line being "We will follow up with the specifics, for example where to find the portal guide and how to access it ahead of time."

I just want to give you a heads up that the expected portal opening time is currently sat at "mid-morning BST" (so a window of around 10:00-11:00 our work time).
I'm afraid I've let you down a little in expectation in that this is all I have for you currently, until we jump in tomorrow morning to bring you the necessary links to the portal and help guide once available, however myself and Bruce will be on hand with you as we move.

We're excited to welcome our Console Commanders across to the Galaxy on PC side!

Don't forget, you can find the necessary info for all of the previous statements and FAQs in posts such as this one: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-profile-transfers-faq-and-expected-date.603979/

PLEASE don't forget the following (I can't stress this enough. It's keeping me awake):
  • Your original console profile will remain playable.
  • Only one profile may be copied per copy of Elite Dangerous.
  • This will be a one-time only process.
  • The portal will remain open for the foreseeable future and Commanders will be given plenty of advance warning prior to decisions on when the portal looks set to close.
Which elements of my console profile will NOT be copied to PC?
  • Your Commander name if it is already in use by another PC player. You will be given the chance to choose a new name as part of the process.
  • ARX Balance.
    • Please ensure that you purchase desired customisations before you complete the transfer.
    • Any unspent Arx will remain on your original console profile
  • Squadron membership.
  • Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups.
  • Current mission progress.
  • Fleet Carriers and their contents.
    • Fleet Carriers will not be copied over. Please decommission these ahead of going through the process so that your resulting Credit balance will be included.
    • Any modules will be decommissioned at the discounted rate if previously aquired as discounted and then repurchased at the full rate on the PC account.
    • This also applies for any discounted purchase Fleet Carriers.
We'll see you tomorrow, Commanders.
Big day.

Let's just appreciate for a second the fact that the process will remain open "for the foreseeable future", and won't close without ample notice. This is fantastic news for all the people like me who can't get their hands on a PC right now and will be able to keep making progress on their console accounts in the meantime.

Same here, I've no PC suitable for use as yet and will transfer eventually if I get maybe a Geforce Now compatible TV, as I need a new one soon, so will spend a bit more than intended and get a 2022 TV.

Note, when I do transfer I will be keeping my console FC and get another one on the new PC account!!!
Not bad for one purchased ED.

Also, (my RP) not interested in on foot stuff looking for plants (yeuch!) or FPS killing innocent civvies at bases - it is a SPACE SIM and simulates it brilliantly!
Again, what I have seen of station/FC on foot, it simulates months and months in space very well, with nothing to do at all - they all sit around snoozing!!

@sallymorganmoore How long are we expecting the portal to be availiable?
I'm not expecting a flood of trans dimensional invaders it's just some of us work alot so may not be able to get the transfer done for a week or so

From the OP on this thread:

  • The portal will remain open for the foreseeable future and Commanders will be given plenty of advance warning prior to decisions on when the portal looks set to close.

Man I cannot wait to finally start playing again, not being able to use all my console goodies on the PC version put me off playing for ages.

I'll be waiting patiently!

Edit: Dumb question but do I need anything other than my console gamertag+details to start the transfer? I no longer have easy access to the console I used to play on. This may have been posted in the FAQ but if so I missed it on my first and second readings.

Silly question but I assume that once the transfer is done there is no further syncing between accounts - so if you progress one Commander on the PC, that progression wont be reflected for the Xbox One commander
