Hey, so I'm actually a returning Captain. I played years ago, but wound up dropping out after my first laptop broke down on me. I played enough to know I'm definitely in for the console version, which I just downloaded on Xbox One. I had a few questions about the console version that I've tried looking around for, but couldn't find. I'd appreciate if anyone could answer some of them.
So, I know that none of the PC account stuff transfers. I remember purchasing TOS content, and I really think I'll end up purchasing content again now on consoles. What I was wondering is if any of it, the Zen I purchase or uniforms or ships, etc. will transfer between consoles? I own both a PS4 and an Xbox One, and I switch consoles with him from time to time. So, would zen and content I purchase on XB1 be reflected on my PS4 account?
My second question was if there was cross play between the consoles, as well. Could I play someone on PS4 from the XB1 version?
I appreciate it, guys. I feel bad that I even had to post a thread asking these, but I had a hard time finding the specific answers.

I'd suggest playing on PS4 since it has better graphics and a larger number of users, unless you have more friends that want to play on X1.
During spring of this year Microsoft made a public announcement that they have technologies in place to allow for cross platform gaming between the Xbox One and the PS4. While Microsoft has laid the groundwork to allow cross platform gaming between the consoles from a technological standpoint, Sony needs to meet with Microsoft to work out policies on how the two console with communicate with each other to allow cross platform gameplay. Basically, it is up to Sony to decide whether or not they want to open up the PlayStation Network to the XBox One.
Thanks for the reply on purchased content between PS4 and XB1. I just need to be mindful of where I buy what, considering where I'll play STO more. Thanks again.
I connected my account when launching STO on PS3 for the first time, then got dropped to a browser for the final authentication... Upon reentering STO, it just went straight to new character creation. ?
I was sure there must be some issue, so I came online to check for forum reports, & I find that the characters don't port at all? That makes no sense. If nothing copies over, I might as well be opening a new player profile anyway. Heck, I was looking forward to seeing whether the PS3 version had access to edit my Foundry missions! Fat chance, eh?
