Can you start a Sub on the Xbox One version of the game. I don't see a option to do it.
on playstation if you click on the c-store there is an option to spend zen to get a lifetime subscription. I believe it was 16310 zen. it was definetly over 16000 zen. which in my opinion if we linked our accounts to our arc account lifetime subscribers shouldn't have to pay again.
I'm unbelievably disgusted that none of our characters or equipment transfer. This is garbage and a clear money grab. I would willingly throw them my money if they were fair, but this is the last straw. I'm done spending any money on STO. Perfect World sucks and doesn't give a **** about the gamers.
This transfer of characters from PC to console hasn't happened in any other console MMO I've played (that I'm aware of) so why would STO be any different.
Wrong... Elder Scrolls Online. Not only did they transfer over your unlocked purchases, but your characters, inventory, the whole thing when they launched on consoles after being on PC for a good long while.
This was simple laziness and greed (buy your ships and races all over again!)
GTA did it when they ported all over the place. Not exactly an MMO but still. You could transport your character off ps3/360 to whichever version you want xbox one/ps4/pc
I live in Australia and have not been able to find any details AT ALL about when we will be able to play the game on the Xbox! Can someone PLEASE give me some info as to when it will be available. I'm genuinely upset that you've just left us out in the rain with this

Well from all the different forums ive searched for info (in the same boat) some people are quoting an EU PS mag that says on friday, another forum had it being a known fact that all regions would be getting it by the end of today (anniversary) . Ive not seen either written anywhere but im guessing friday for us mere mortals
null Dude you have no idea how much better you've just made my week. Thanks so much bro :) Can't wait to get into it (if you're going to play on xbone gimme a shout :) )
you know why i want to play on console because everyone at lvl playing field no op ships no vaping everyone the same all noobs which is great. now if only i could download the bloody thing

There were 4 words you obviously didn't read when you quoted me, so I'll say them here.
A lot of you guys should have actually took the time to read the information about the release of Console STO on the forums, especially you are taking the time to complain about Console STO on the forums. Let's do a quick FAQ, no your PC account does not transfer over to the console. No, there is no cross platform playing. Yes, there is an LTS service offered. The Console graphical update is coming soon to PC. As of right now, they are not giving out any information about the Console UI (option) coming to the PC. If you don't want to play on the console, you still have your purchases, your LTS, your time spent in the game is still on the PC. The PC will always be getting the updates to the game first this includes new seasons and expansions.
Most hilarious thing I saw last night. Go into Vulcan space, and I see a fleet of Mirandas probably all playing the same missions. Have never seen so many Mirandas in the regular game since I started during F2P. Kind of puzzled as to why they don't fly the free Steamrunner. I know the account linking is kind of not perfect, but it worked for me on the second try.
Just started installing it on PS4 today. It's really slow which is surprising since it only takes about 30 mins to install it on PC. Checked download speed and it was something ridiculous like 476 Kbps? Changed the MTU to 1476 and moved it up to 1.3-1.8 Mbps. Certainly not getting it anywhere near of what I should be getting. Although my area was never the fastest to begin with being so far away from the exchange.

Soooooo, Iam a little bit shocked that PC and Console accounts are separated, could we then get rid of Arc? Does that mean console and pc players cannot play together?
if so: thumbs down
My petition:
#1 A player should be able to play with one account on any plattform
#2 new GUI and full controller support should be brought to the PC version too (allow players to switch to it as is beeing done in many games, e.g. like Dragon Age Inquisiton or Elder Scrolls Online)
#3 Star Trek Online should fully support Steam Link and the Steam Controller, so if I play it with the Steam Link it switches to Controller-Mode and works like the PS4/XBox clients.
There are problems with this that it's just easier to avoid. Hacks and viruses come to mind. Plus, all three systems are competitors and require special licenses to do joint programs. Remember that PC version has been running for years, while the consoles just started. Easier for each platform to evolve as it will over time instead of trying to force them to work together.
Plus, the different accounts helps to bring in greater funds to help keep this old game open.
I think I forgot to mention, but isn't Arc system and STO OLDER than steam? you have tech issues with what you're referring to.
Actually glad it isn't cross-platform. PC suffers for it. DCUO is a key example of this.

:/ Ok, I am really excited about STO on the consoles. In fact when I initially thought that we would be able to link our pc accounts with our consoles this thrilled me to no end. So first, its really cool that this is now on the consoles, But I think it really sucks and I really hope that the developers will strongly reconsider providing the option to migrate your account to the console if you desire it. The console is my preferred method for playing games and the only reason that I initially got the lifetime membership was because it was only offered on the PC. I rarely play on my PC and now that a grand opportunity to experience this game exactly the way I prefer to I don't get the perks associated with being a lifetime member. That being said, I understand and recognize that the hard work that went into creating the console versions demand some form of reciprocity, however I don't think that it should require that I purchase another lifetime membership (I'd understand if it was some sort of migration fee) I wouldn't care if I lost character progression or if it meant that I'd have to cancel my PC account. U now have my preferred way of playing this game, it sucks that I can not reap the benefits for my lifetime membership. If anyone knows or have access to whether or not this might be an option in the future, please speak on this if you can.

Imagine that you prefer playing your games a certain way. I spend the majority of my gaming time using my PS4. I rarely touch this game now because it is on my PC and I rarely play PC games. Now, we have the opportunity to play more of this game the way we prefer to play it. But some of the benefits and perks that I initially received as a PC player is no longer available to me I don't need to copy my characters, my ships, titles, or costumes from the PC. I would like to have my stipend or just the LTS perk even if it means that I could no longer play my PC character because I prefer to use my console. I don't care if they charged some type of account migration fee to collect for all of the new work that completed to get it on the PC. I think not giving the LTS members an option feels a bit discouraging for someone who really prefers the console. I was looking to invest a lot more time with this game, but not having those LTS perks somewhat annoys me. So I think that is probably where some of that "whining" comes from (for me at least).

I may be a rare breed here: but I am a LTS who would prefer to play this game on my console. So actually it is for me (I dont think I'm unique either). I rarely play this on my PC so everytime I do play it, I have to begin a new in order to understajnd some of the changes with the game. I can play the console version more consistently though, I think having my LTS perks would make my experience a lot better though.

Can't wait to get into it (if you're going to play on xbone gimme a shout :) )
It's been out for PS4 since wednesday.
it regions format doesnt matter north america got it first then slowly getting released still waiting in uk
There were 4 words you obviously didn't read when you quoted me, so I'll say them here.
"(that I'm aware of)"
It is now. You have to buy the game (or at least you have to on the XBOX one version, not sure about the others), but there's no sub required
>Store
>>Promotions
>>>And then "claim" it
Took me a minute, too, but it's definitely worth it. And (unconfirmed) it looks like any Fed character you create can use it.
It's still by far the worst thing in this game and has never gotten any development time lol.
If people are playing it on console it can't be the same thing we have on PC.
Typed in the full title and nothing came up in the search, but then typed in "Star T" and it came up in the drop-down list
Can't find it in the uk .....
