Elite Dangerous

Treat Elite Dangerous' console-to-PC Commander migration as a one-time account operation, not a synced save. Frontier says the original console Commander remains playable while a new PC copy is created, but the transfer is one-time and both accounts are temporarily frozen during processing. Ships, modules, credits and core progression copy; ARX balance, Fleet Carriers, squadron/friend lists, bookmarks, NPC crew and current mission progress do not. Decommission Fleet Carriers and review the exclusions before opening the portal.
