Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates

Congrats to the console players!

About that "roadmap": Stability and optimization were already expected. So were updates. And I would argue, so were some sort of narrative (an occasional GalNet article?). On the other hand there is no news about the future direction of the game. None. It's not that Frontier don't know how to do the hype.

The promise that ED will continue is a freebee. Frontier could pull the plug next week and be like 🤷‍♂️

Before today I was wondering what on Earth is going on inside Frontier. That surely haven't changed.
 
No, you will be given a completely new PC Horizons account it seems I assume linked to your console email address.
ok so will i beable to play the coypied account on my Odessyy / Horizon like i can at the moment as u can switch between the two ? sorry for all these questions as i dont want to be buying Odessyy again for the same account?
 
You will get a new Horizons PC account with a copy of your console CMDR. No Odyssey, no impact to or merge with any existing PC account is what is being stated.

They will be two separate accounts. I have not tried it yet but, I think you can have more than one Frontier Launcher so effectively launch into your existing PC account, or the new transferred Console > PC account. I am not quite sure how to set this up myself yet. Someone will know as people have multiple accounts on PC already.
 
So how will it be played? I don't see a profile select screen when I boot up lol. Honestly having to redo all of my suit and weapons engineering is not a problem. I just want to know if I should delete my pc account before the transfer.
Why delete your PC account? You can have multiple accounts on one PC, you just log in with a different email address/password. I've been doing that recently as Horizons was only £5 on Frontier store.
 
Happy that I can transfer my CMDR to PC! A little bit sad about the Carriers though. I have well over 200 Thargoid Hearts, SAP-8 Cores, and Trinkets of Hidden Fortune aboard mine for Raxxla research purposes and I guess I have to lose all those now.
You can find a helpful commander who also has a fleet carrier to help you with that though, no? I'd be open to working something out.
 
That would be a third time. Seriously doubt that. Really, the only major feature left that wasn't touched yet and in dire need of an overhaul is Powerplay.
The only way to do so that makes sense for me, is to make every single material have a specific mission you can seek out. Then it could be salvage missions, combat, etc.

Of course that would require multiple different mission types.
 
Will the conclusion of the Azimuth saga be able to be done on console or will it be an on foot thing? I've been involved in it from the beginning and would like to finish it as my last act as a console CMDR before retiring from the galaxy for good. As happy as I am for the console transfer option I in all honesty can't justify paying 1000's of pounds just to play a game no matter how much I love(d) it.
 
Another possibility is that support can move Odyssey from the existing pc account to the new console PC account. I have done it with horizons and two pc accounts in the past.
