What's stopping you doing it now. Sheesh! 
You've never played the forum before.
I like that, they could also licence out the console versions (and maybe even PC 3.8), either separately or more preferably altogether, to Sony, Microsoft or a trusted third party, to run themselves if they're either too tired or busy to do it properly anymore!
Any empty (as in, unpopulated) system in the Bubble (assuming you're in the Bubble) works for me. I just hate trying to find a station or outpost in a system map filled with a hundred carriers.
It would also be nice if Frontier would fix the broken "Facilities" feature of the system map before branching (and abandoning) the Legacy Galaxy. I have a feeling I'll be relying on in-game tools more than ever after the great schism.

Think of it as an alternate or mirror universe...
I'm going to do it before it goes away... but six days' notice is not enough time to decommission my FC. It's going to take 7.5 days.What's stopping you doing it now. Sheesh!
It's a holiday week in the US. Most people aren't even home here right now. It is the single biggest travel day out of the year. Plus, globally, not everyone is glued to the FDev forum for up to the minute news at any time, let alone a holiday season.What's stopping you doing it now. Sheesh!
More than even that, many were planning on using the Christmas holidays to update or build a PC - which is still a month away.
Giving only 6 days notice that console games will become virtually obsolete, after just stating two months ago that they would not, is beyond last minute warning. It is entirely reasonable, that a quarter of their player base should be afforded more than 6 days notice. Especially when they can't even decommission their carriers in that time.
It's really not difficult to understand.

Then I imagine that your fleet carrier will be transferred and then decommissioned on console and on PC both 3.8 and 4.0 in 7.5 days time.
What's difficult to understand that console players have been given, for free, an additional account simply for asking, and an entire universe that will continue to run for some time so you get to keep your old stuff at the same time?
As an Odyssey player on PC, no one is offering me free stuff. Sheesh. Talk about entitled.
Fleet carriers are NOT transferred in any way - FDev has specifically stated that decommissioning must happen PRIOR to the transfer.
You get the free alt in the legacy universe as well.
Ah right, but in that case you get the credits no?
The world isn't run for the USA.
There are literally dozens of other countries with hundreds of people living in them that don't celebrate 'holidays'.
Nope. Since FCs are tied to unique CMDR ID's, they were not part of the process at all.
As you can see, FDev was on top of their game with regards to the FAQ on console transfers (this was created two months ago with no update to the FC section).
Is it even possible for you to be an adult and have an adult conversation?
I'm not asking for, nor getting anything for "free". I paid for Elite Dangerous. Full price. I paid for the Horizons expansion. Full price. That is not "free".
I said absolutely nowhere that I want them to continue to "run an entire universe" for me for "free". In September they said we could transfer our console accounts "indefinitely" and when that came to an end the would provide "enough time" for us to get everything transferred. 6 days is not ample warning. You can't even decommission a carrier in that time if you started the exact second they made the announcement.
That's it. That's all.
Maybe try to stop being childish "sheessh - eyeroll" and understand that when a company makes assurances and then immediately goes back on those assurances, that is an issue. And a valid one.

Sorry I forgot the details of the transfer and carriers in particular, especially since I'm a PC player.
That sounds very unfortunate indeed..!
Ok, and? Where did I suggest it was? It's specifically why I said "in the US", because I understand it's not a holiday everywhere. So that invalidates my point in what way? 6 days is remarkably short notice for this announcement for console players. Just because I included information about the US holiday week?
I guess then FDev shouldn't include a Black Friday event then.... Since Black Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States.
The whole world is out of town on vacation this week? Cool, looks like I'm not working tomorrow!
