You missed the part of the post where they said full transfer to PC will no longer be possible. They went back on their word to console players in just two months.
I'd prefer if legacy mode allowed third party server connections and fdev opened the api up and allowed anyone who wanted and had the ability ...to create a third party server system. fdev would host an "official server" but anyone could fire up their own version with augmented rules, system overlays, narrative, etc. This could also be hosted off your own computer (if someone was nice enough to create and distribute such software)...and give players an effective offline option.
that's not how this game works.
edit: your client generates the galaxy. It isn't stored elsewhere and you download it or something. The server side database only stores the stats you can associate a cmdr name with (name, timestamp) to a coordinate location that the stellar forge generates that is associated with any given stellar body that it creates. And it only needs to store those for the systems and stellar bodies that have been visited (no empty sets for everything possible). There are certain overrides/overlays to certain systems ...but those are few and far between.
Overall, the server side of things is likely not that big of a database in terms of the current state storage needed. It's not clear what kind of transaction log is kept etc...but that kind of stuff isn't strictly necessary for the game.

This is the exact problem I'm running into. I was able to transfer 99% of my bank account off and sell off the modules, but the decommission time is 7.5 days. It's like they did this on purpose.
I just want to see if I get an actual response first.
Exactly. The other carrier will be there should I decide [shiver] to ever log back into 3.8.
so like most are now in the current universe. (abandoned clutter)
... and have not even given console cmdrs enough time to decommission their fleet carriers.
Until Q1 when the process will be back up and running. Sheesh
Look at the Bright side I will own over 40 Cutters across all accounts next week !
Well, if I may politely ask that "there" be an empty system (in the Bubble, out of the Bubble, whichever), that sure would be swell. Fleet Carriers have destroyed the system map, but if all the unused carriers were moved to uninhabited systems, then something good can come out of this "Legacy Mode".
you have this weekend to go fill up!
"Frontier Developments - Fragmenting its player base since May 2021". They can feel free to use it as a new tag line in any of their promotional advertisements.
Did you read the rest of that?
"The version of the process that we reintroduce will not be as comprehensive as before and will only copy the most essential profile data related to player progression."
Sheesh indeed.
Well... as you asked nicely... name the system and I'll move mine, so long as it's not a lifetime to jump to.
I am actually surprised by all the complaining going on. FDev is doing something that not only did I ever expect but something I never saw any other live service dev do: provide a copy of the game's setting for free so that players who don't like the (apparently big) changes coming to the game can choose to opt-out and continue to play the game the way they liked it. This is the opposite of what the doomsayers have been saying: instead of shutting the server down, FDev is adding an entirely new server!
And people still find a reason to complain....

No, not the same process, and no details around how diminished it will be, keep up. Sheesh.
