Now all I need to decide is which one is going to be my main now.
Codex Discoveries are the 50k credit book entries you get for finding something in a new sector for the first time. Universal Cartography data is what you are thinking about, which the post is silent on.
Rationally I don’t expect them to transfer over cartographic data due to the crossover issues, also landfall vs Horizons planets being generated different in the engine.
The option is there - i did if for my transferred XB account - i couldnt predict a Live/Legacy split at the time and i thought it would be weird to have 2 Northpin commanders, each with its own carrier and each with their own discoveries.
Now i kinda regret it...
That sounds like your console commander was "Northpin", and you already had a PC commander named "Northpin". If that's the case, the option had to be there. My console commander's name is definitely not in use on PC, but I'd like to change it during the transfer. Based on the OP, the option to rename may only be available if the name is already in use on PC. They didn't state if the option is there even if the name isn't in use on PC.
Nope, the option was there regardless and i voluntarily opted to change my commander name during the copy process
The portal itself doesnt check for name duplication, so if the chosen cmdr name is already taken you'd get an error and you have to fix the cmdr name and try again
Good to know, thanks for the clarification.
Codex discoveries are individual to the player, it's immaterial whether other people have discovered these things also, so bringing all "your" codex discoveries across won't affect anything in Live, it's just a record of what you personally have discovered. Mind you regional and galactic first discoveries of bio in reference to the Codex is another thing, I don't think that will be brought across because that's NOT personal to the individual player, that's not stored on the player database but FDEV's database so I think that data won't come across. So if a player in Legacy is first discoverer of X bio in Errant Marches in the Legacy Galaxy, that's unique to the Legacy Galaxy, so they won't be the first discoverer in Live, of course if no-one else has actually found it in live they can just fly out and claim it for themselves, if they made a note of where it was of course!
Uh, I should had cleared this up. I already own odyssey and have a progressed commander. I just spent 3 days engineering and collecting mats, and now I have no plans to start again. I also remember Frontier told me I cannot transfer because I did a wealth transfer in June 2022. Sorry you all had to read this much but I wanted to clarify. 
So you haven't played on console since June last year? If so I'd imagine that yes there is no transfer possible. But if you built up a new account on console since then, it might be worth your while to ask support, they are really very nice!Uh, I should had cleared this up.

I hope that isn't the case. My PS4 commander has tons of progress, but hasn't been touched in 2-3 years. I'm hoping to transfer it to a fresh account on PC so I can continue.
I'll login to the PS4 account tonight, just in case.
I don't foresee any problems for you in that case..
Please, can I sign up somewhere to get an email when it opens? Is there an actual date or will it open on April 1 (April Fool's day)?
Thank you Frontier for doing this...not all of us console users had a chance to transfer at the first window...

You should already be getting emails every 2 -3 weeks... if your not getting emails to the registered account address then you need to contact support to get your email address re-enabled...
Having the email address of the fdev account paired to console account should be monitored is needed for password and account recovery... This is independant to any forum contact and use...
This should have been happening already since you created the Fdev account... this way they get to show you every 2-3 weeks all the EDO content on PC...

Ask them to re add you to the Elite email list...
They sent emails last september telling people it was live... the title of the email was
Elite Dangerous: Console Copy Portal opens tomorrow!
Thanks. I will get that sorted. I don't seem to get any mail at all from fdev.
Date allready announced..

Yes, you and Varonica are probably right. By codex it’ll just refer to the pitiful payout for personal discoveries. I was referring to the entries for 1st discoveries in the codex. Both in the ‘Reported’ section and in the biggest, smallest etc galactic discoveries stats. They most likely won’t appear or else the carto info would be wrong. But we’ll see what happens come Monday.
Existing legacy accounts will also receive a ED 4.0 Horizons game release for free? I mean for who did buy the game originally (no pass, no epic etc).
Thanks Mr Jack!

I previously had a CMDR wealth transfer from PC to console and was told it was a ‘one time only’ thing. Can I now transfer back to PC?
Yes, you can. Now that Odyssey will not be coming to console, we feel it only fair that you are able to return to PC with the progress you have made on console.

Will it be possible to just transfer assets from Xbox to PC? Not the entire Cmdr profile.
