Console account transfer?

Does anyone know if you will be able to transfer your PC STO account to the console version? I'd hate to lose my ship and crew but haven't been able to play on PC for some time.
Thanks for the help!

    The official word is no.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    This is quickly becoming a FAQ style thread

    There's literally no reason not to if people can transfer characters to the test server which is separate.

    There literally is, since the Consoles will always be at the least, half to a whole season behind the PC servers.

    Transferring a character from PC to Console will mean there will be stuff you won't be able to use, because it will not have been added in a console patch yet.
    Which would probably skrew up your Live Data Folder and make the game crash on your system.

    Even if they don't want to support cross play severs I can get that. I can understand how hard that would be for the console players to catch up. But to be honest they should have account synchronization. Give me my LTS and my z-store purchases on the consoles. This can be done without cross play and it is a good thing for STO. For example my friends stopped playing STO and because they stopped I don't play as much some times going months without playing that means I am going months of not buying things in the z-store. Now when I do play I still don't want to buy much in the z-store because I am not playing as much. However now that it is on console I have a new group of friends to play with. Why should I have to purchase LTS and all the ships I already paid for again? Nothing makes you feel more ripped off than what I am describing. Aren't I valuable as a returning player even if it is on the console? So now instead of playing with my friends and telling them how fun STO can be I am telling them I feel ripped off and won't play...Now they hear my story and it makes them not want to play...because why give money to a company that cheated my friend? Account synchronization is not a new concept. Smite did this for both consoles and it worked out really well. PLEASE DEV'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN LET ME LEVEL NEW CAPTAINS WITH MY FRIENDS!!!
