Can I migrate my PS4 game profile to a PC ?.

I'm thinking of getting a PC for ED, can I migrate my data from PS4 to the PC, and do I have to buy ED again, and start from scratch ?

Thanks.

Developers mentioned before the PS4 release that migrating a PC profile to PS4 was not going to be possible, so I doubt the reverse is true.
 
You have to buy a new copy then you can ask support to move your commander, but, you'll only get limited transfer. Just your money, possibly your stuff but ranks and stuff are gone. Ask them to be sure.
 
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.

I agree. And if it's worse because they would also delete your old commander.

As someone who plays on the PC and XBOX often, it would have been nice to have my XBOX commander copied and pasted into my PC account, but just getting the cash without any items or rank wasn't going to cut it. Especially since they would have deleted my Xbox commander.

Instead I kept my XBOX account and have ranked up my PC account from scratch.
