It's a shame that the developers cant at least transfer the players existing ships to the new platform, I don't mind losing everything else. I'm halfway through the game with a gorgeously engineered Vulture, the thought of repeating the grind is enough to make one stare in space until water turns to wine.
I recently moved from PS4 to PC and because I knew exactly what was required to unlock Engineers and rank up, the progress was quite fast (didn't hurt that I also requested a Credit transfer from my PS4 commander to my new PC commander so I had 400,000,000 Cr. to work with).
After only a month of playing on the PC I'm further along in the game (in terms of Engineers unlocked and maxed out and in terms of Federation and Alliance Rank) than I was on the PS4 and the only areas currently still lower than on the PS4 are my Exploration and Trade ranks (just 1 more rank to go in each and I'll be equal).
I have 5 ships, A-Rated Sidewinder, A-Rated Cobra, A-Rated Gunship, A-Rated Asp Exp., and A-Rated Type-10 all engineered with G4 or G5 Long Range FSD, G3-5 Efficient Mulcannons, G3-4 Burst Lasers, G3-5 Dirty Drives and G4 Heavy Duty or Lightweight Armour and Hull Reinforcements plus have over 200,000,000 Cr. so I don't feel I've lost any progress.
