depends on the species of duck doesn't it
my son and I have the same set up and can share every game I have so far so don't see why it wouldn't work with ED..obvs cant play at the same time
I should clarify that i meant you can both play elite at the same time on two xbox ones with family sharing etc.
It sounds like you might be able to do the same on ps4, unless the ps+ service isnt like that.
I suppose then, and I hate to bring it up but will this facilitate PS4 users to exploit the multi-crew multiple logons?
i am not sure you can do that, but i do know if you buy a game on one account you can play it on all other accounts. but me personally i won't be using my first account for personal reasons, but i might find a way to have a ED only account with more appropriate commander name for space

You can on xbox. Seems a little extreme just for an extra power pip tho.
I am glad to hear this. My son is getting older and cutting into my limited ED time. With this i can get another xbox just for him to use.
Another advantage of multiple accounts / commanders is it allows for different role-play. For example, I tend to play "Paragon" (the good guy), but I can see the potential enjoyment of playing the Dread Pirate Roberts. My own preference is to keep those two personas separate, though I suppose factions allows one to be a "privateer" which is kinda like a good guy pirate... Hmmmm....
Just thinking out loud, don't mind me!

Jekyll and/or Hide will be sufficient.
Nothing wrong with multiple accounts I agree - it only becomes an issue with Multi-pew when a single user is utilising a second account to gain either an in-game tactical advantage (pips) or gain additional credits (combat bonuses) above another player. I would hope Dev sort this by simply having an inactivity time-out function so that any MC member is automatically dropped by the server if they are inactive for a period of time - say 10 minutes or so - which is common in MMO's anyways to keep servers clear of 'parking' players. My only other concern is one of paranoia vis a vie a member of XXX pirates hiding behind another pseudonym and feeding info to the enemy - but then that can and does happen anywhere so its just a paranoia I have to live with....
Seriously, I want Old Duck to save the galaxy. Show all those young'uns out there who REALLY runs the show! ^_^ Damned kids, offa my landable planets!
Hey duck, do your subaccounts have access to horizon yet. Anybody know if it's been fixed. Nemo is going to have to work like the ens to catch me. When he comes off sabbatical.
Nope. I even did a fresh install last night, and still no Horizons on my alt account, which is a real bummer since I'm saving PowerPlay for my alt.
Dear FDev, this is one of those situations where your communication skills [what the vacuum of space does to your air when the canopy breaks]......
Technically the air pressure pushes the air out as it wants to expand into the vacuum rather than the vacu..... oh i see what you were doing there
Hi chaps,
I've bought ED on PS4 but don't like my ps user name as my cmdr name. So I made a new user with a new name and email address etc but there is a locked symbol on the ED game and it says it is locked to the user who bought the game.
Have you any advice on how to get around this please?

I think it needs to be a sub account of the account you used to buy the game.
Yep all done - thanks buddy!!
