:S I was hoping that I would be able to use my ship and rank ive earned on my PC version of the game on my X-box one. I did link accounts but ive still had to start again on the X-box one. Will this change in the future? Thanks.
The hope is that once it goes "live" and we are in the same shared galaxy, they will let us use our saves across platforms. They really, really need to do this
I don't know about others but I haven't seen a manuver yet on PC vid's on YT that I can't perform on my Xbox(and I have been testing the controll inequality accusation myself for most of Friday), except for flying with just FA-Off on(which doesn't seem to give an advantage on PC anyway).Based on all the info I have gathered on this game ahead of joining the beta test for XB1, there are NO PLANS for cross-play. There has often been talk of such things with other games such as GTA5 for example. MS tends to avoid such complications with Xbox Live as does SONY with PSN, not to mention the vast differences between the console controls and the various PC controls available. The latter which would give a definite advantage to PC gamers over console gamers. But the biggest stumbling block is the different gaming networks involved. None are designed to work with each other, but are instead "Closed" systems dedicated and optimized for their own console hardware.
There are also likely going to be enough differences between the XB1 version and the PC/Mac versions by release that the game mechanics will no longer sync well if mashed up.
While it might be fun, the chances are far greater that it would be a major train wreck, and I don't think anyone is willing to risk that kind of bad press and ill will these days.

Using a ship/rank from the PC version is very different to cross play. I can't see why it couldn't be done.
