hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous as we are now in September Frontier
developments have released additional information and provisional dates as to
when the supposed console transfer of player profiles from console to PC is going to happen
for elite dangerous now as they mentioned all dates are currently provisional but we
are looking at testing to start around about the 5th of September and it has been noted
that some commanders have already received emails to be part of that testing foreign
for those commanders fortunate enough to have a PC rig capable of an odyssey experience worthy of the
game and want to transfer from console have all the additional content then testing for the elite
dangerous console transfers will start on Monday September 5th and it'd be a very sort of targeted
testing some commanders have already received some messages that have popped upon the Forum to
be part of that testing now the testing is Gonna Last approximately one week so using rudimentary
mathematics we're looking around about September the 12th providing all testing goes well but the
console migration to actually start now they do say that depending on these results they'll
be in a position to test and that's the caveat testing is going to be Paramount we don't this
need to be a flipping a huge cock-up do we really so there is going to be a console profile copy
portal that will be released but as they're saying that date is going to be an estimated guideline
Frontier in their press release also go on to reiterate some of the caveats around
the console transfer and that is the console profile copying
involves the original console profile remaining in place a snapshot will be taken and will then
be copied to the PC environment only one profile may be copied per copy of elite dangerous
and this will be a one-time process only so what do they mean by that you copy your profile over
then completely and at least Goose it up You've Had Your Shot it's done you've got to live with
it and play the game as intended there's no oh can you copy that profile back over again
because I've made a huge mistake none of that's going to happen for the extended version with
much more further reading there is an additional press release that we had earlier on this month
now that came in the form of an FAQ a frequently asked questions and they stated the following just
to reiterate your commander name if that's the name is not already in use on another PC account
will be copied over if it's taken you'll be given the chance to pick a new Commander name as part
of the copy process ships and all engineered modules on them the hollow me configuration
weapons SRV and slfs including the Cobra mark IV if you are fortunate to own that and were one of
the early backers will be copied your credit balance will be copied all modules in storage
including all engineered Community goal and power play modules will be copied your core progression
which includes inventory reputation or ranks Naval ranks Federation ranks you know that sort of stuff
permits all your discoveries in the Codex your engineering progress your Tech broker progress
your power play and you'll remain pledged the same power as per what you were on your
console will be copied across NPC crew names appearance and progress will be copied across
in-game customizations just paint jobs bobble heads ship kits and all other purchase items
that you purchase with arcs will be copied across and any applied Livery customizations will remain
applied so great what's not going to be copied yeah Commander name if it's already taken on PC
mentioned that at the beginning your Arc balance so make sure you run down those arcs
before the the copy process you buy those ship kits a couple of stickers paint jobs
your squadron memberships you have to redo your squadron your friends list
so make a note of your friends lists and your private groups your current Mission progress
and your Fleet carriers and their contents will not be migrated so everyone's out there now
dumping all their cargo decommissioning their Fleet carriers getting the money in good time
already around about the 12th Circa of September when the console transfer will take place
now in regards to Fleet carriers this has proven to be a little bit of a contentious issue well
why can't that happen and I honestly don't know obviously there's a reason for this but a lot
of people are packing up their Fleet carriers I myself have had people donate tritium and
other items to me and thank you very much to those individuals you know who you are
um they've offloaded all of that or they've sold it at stations and beta killing they get back into
game I I assume there's going to be a huge rush in the fleet carrier core systems to go and buy
a new carrier and get on with the game it's going to be interesting to see how many commanders do
move over from Elite dangerous on the consoles with that Playstation or Xbox into the PC Arena
and how they find their experience in the PC Arena as opposed to a console experience it's gonna be
very interesting but with all the current events currently happening in Elite dangerous what better
time to jump back in I've been Ricardo thanks very much for watching like And subscribe if
