i mean, we should wait and see what they have to answer to those questions in the next post, as they said, for once they said they will answer questions. I hope they will, and if they don't then we [the console community] can continue to be angry aboout the fact that they teased us with a reason to play the game again. For now we just have to hope fdev doesn't mess everything up (again)

I don't think anyone cares for what cultists have to say
Thanks Eid, this is still on my mind as I'm thinking the whole point of transferring was to play Odyssey with all my progress. If I just want to keep playing Horizons i will have to stay on PlayStation because my computer can't currently play Elite without crashing. Point I was just trying to make besides is that progress should be copied to Odyssey & not Horizons on pc!

Your PS progress WILL be copied to a new horizons copy. Your progress will be on pc.Thanks Eid, this is still on my mind as I'm thinking the whole point of transferring was to play Odyssey with all my progress.

The only question which we don't yet know the answer to is whether an exiting account (whether it's horizons or odyssey) on pc can be replaced with the PS account.
And the only reason for doing that is surely to save you having to buy a new copy of odyssey. I think that's a pretty minor inconvenience, no?
People who asked for transfers were told by support no, wait until the new process is in place. Weren't they? I believe transfers of the old system ie just assets were suspended.
It sounds like it is all moot until your PC will run the game, but when they copy your PlayStation account and you add Odyssey to that account your progress to date will be there. Anything more complicated involving prematurely purchased accounts is something to ask FDev or support about when they announce the full details and time window for the transfers. Right now nobody knows more than in the Dev posts etc.Thanks Eid, this is still on my mind as I'm thinking the whole point of transferring was to play Odyssey with all my progress.

Honest (and hoping to be helpful) question - is it not possible to use third-party software to map your buttons to keyboard presses to achieve the same goal? I remember doing this many years ago, where you could even have some complex macros triggered by a single button press.
As would X4 Foundations players, Space Engineers players, and Subnautica players. Well, not ALL players, but at least one of us!
Though to be honest, I'm not as "vehement" about ship interiors in Elite as I once was, thanks to VR "unlocking" ship cockpits and bridges. I think I'd rather have a proper NPC crew first, then ship interiors (even if it's a limited version like X4).
As for Arx, I'd be much more likely to spend Arx on alternative bridge schemes (like a NEW Anaconda instead of the junkyard version) rather than external paint that is more for others to see than myself.
Yes, there are different tools like Joystick Gremlin which can be used, also some manufacturers offer own solutions (e.g.virpil).
My issue was, that the third party tools are not very intuitive to me and I had to gave up on them and I'm not that incompetent when it comes to hardware, software and configuration. The virpil solution took almost one year to be released after I bought the hotas.
ED is a game about flying space ships, many player invested a lot money in this hobby and to be honest, I expect a company to fix such a basic but significant fearure on their own and not force players to use workarounds to be able to play the game.
Yes and although I haven't heard anybody about the Steam Deck, GeForce Now has had some positive mentions on the forum in relation to Odyssey.
Looked into GeForce already and I thought it was bad enough paying £50 a year for PlayStation plus so I could play in open, I'm not paying £100-£174 a year to get GeForce membership just to playe Elite
Larry David worked so hard to stay on unemployment prior to Seinfeld that they wrote it into the show for George Costanza to act out. Elite Dangerous reminds me of Larry David in that they will do anything it takes to not put out new space content, even working harder to do other things so they avoid giving us new ships or aliens. George is getting upset!
You don't just need to play Elite there, Steam has a crapton of sales each year and there's plenty of marvelous games to discover that aren't available on consoles. It's still a considerably cheaper alternative than getting new hardware and you can always cancel your subscription.
Anyone care to elaborate on said "POWER MOVE?"
The CMs went on strike, hence the short-lived cancellation of the streams. After barracading the coffee machine for a while, management finally caved in and allowed them to release the roadmap and hint about a key feature overhaul.Anyone care to elaborate on said "POWER MOVE?"
I'd like to think part of this strike was embargoing all the boxes of Braben's favorite candy/cookies and not letting him have any until he agreed to allow some information to be given to the players.
Ha, I was just about to say it was probably a biscuit blockade.
Well, the candy and soda pop machine is right next to it, so it was probably a double whammy.
Awesome sooner the better on console to pc been holding out on playing ed on pc till this comes to pass spent way to much time on xbox to start over from scratch great work frontier
