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.

[IMPORTANT EDIT!]
Due to some minor remaining tweaks, the opening of the Console Copy Portal is pushed to release this afternoon. I'll be here to keep you all updated!

Asking for a friend: What about the fleet carrier modules that were purchased at a discount as a result of one of those CGs?

Hello! Great question, let me absolutely add this to the OP bullet points on Carriers for you because this is important.
  • The modules will be decommissioned at the discounted rate and then repurchased at the full rate on the PC account.
  • This also applies for any discounted purchase Fleet Carriers.

@sallymorganmoore you all are doing a great job, thanks for the update!

That's wonderful news to hear, Sally! Thank you! I can't wait to have my console CMDR moved over tomorrow!
Awesome news - thanks!!
Sally, you never let us down.

Thank you! o7

You're really welcome.
It's nice to see Commanders ready for this - because we sure are. Just want to make sure as many bases are covered.
I know it's been a bumpy ride and we really are gratful that many are heading over to join the PC Galaxy.
Again, thank you for your patience and thoughts in what has been, of course, not the easiest situation for many too.

Cleared my PC save this afternoon so I'm ready to go!!!
 
One question:

When the portal opens, will it make a swooshing sound?

Thanks for this updated information! Even though I've been playing Odyssey on PC for a year at this point I'm most excited to bring my cherished PS4 Cmdr (pictured), who began this journey in Elite with me, over to this brave new world. Cheers~
