What was your mining setup wtih your 14 in null if you dont mind my asking? And if you get to high sec mining what do you think youll do?

Nullsec setup was 3 Scouts, 16 Tech2 Large Bubbles on All inbound gates (32 total deployed against 2 gates), 1 Orca+1Freighter for Hauling (if i dont have a corpie hauling), 1 Rorqual in the tower boosting and compressing extra ore and 8-10 (depending on Hauler Situation) Hulk Miners. Each miner have all ore processing at level 4 for Tech 2 Crystals, Exhumers 5. In null-sec we flipped 3 indy 3-4 systems that way if we had a camper we would just JB over to the other area mine there until they showed up. Lots of time staying camped in station trying to bait out the camper so we could continue mining. That worked about 10% of the time. In nullsec we were pushing enough minerals to make a half-dozen or so carriers a month including 1 super a month, but then again it was primarily 3 to 4 multiboxing mining members(me and my xo both used 8 to 10 miners each not counting support), and the others were 5 to 6 miners each. That all came to end when the new leadership took over (primarily because we didn't like the new leader on a personal level).

For highsec, since i have a few other indy friends still traveling with me, they have been mining minerals for me, each of them using 5 or 6 non-boosted miners. When i get setup, ill will revert back to 12 Hulks (or macks, due to tanking issues) and 1 Orca(2 Foreman Links + 1 Siege Link) in belt being used to pass minerals into a charon/obelisk freighter. The tanks on my hulks can usually tanks 2 to 3 Suicide destroyers, tested against 3 catalysts doing 650-700 dps in a 0.5. They were in hull but still lived. I may switch to macks just to be sure i can mine to some more re-assuring safety against small gang destroyer ganks, or smart bombing battleships. Inside of the Orca i usually keep 3 types of ships, a surveying interceptor i can use to review the next belts setup 160km warp-to-pings, 1 Scythe Logi ship (3 shield reps), 1 PVP Tengu with 1 Shield Rep (this is actually my C4-C5 farming tengu setup with a web/scram instead of extra tank), the Tengu is incase i get to fight something. Orca usually sits within range of my main so i can swap ships all the others are spread out across the belt to keep from being BS smartbombed. If i switch to Macks, i probably wouldn't worry about the smartbombing BS setup.

Short-term: Make some isk in null to be able to plex at least 4 accounts, while training up 2 toons to be rorq pilots and getting all my miners to T2 mining crystal and exhumers 5.

Long-term: Reactivate all 12 accounts for null industry and build up a 5 man HS missioning marauder squad :)

I have 5 accounts. 4 miners and an orca. My orca is working towards fenrir pilot. Once I get him up I will bring ore to the POS then to the station with a fenrir. You should come down to null. I am in a corp that has several multiboxers. So far it's pretty cool. If I was you do a rorqual pilot and 9 miners in null with a corp.

Hey contact me in game. I run a nullsec multiboxer only corp that's part of an alliance, plenty of ISK and infrastructure.

In game: Ryan Farmern

Thanks!

Hey all o/

I'm a relatively well-known 'boxer in the meta community, I work for EVE Radio and am involved in a couple of third party dev projects (some of which I hope to announce soon™!) and have been a multiboxer more or less since I started playing EVE. I am an economist that mostly deals with primary industries (minerals, moon go, reactions, etc.) and run 5 active accounts at this point: 3 miners, 1 orca, and 1 pvp/pve toon which I am looking to expand as time goes on. I run a wormhole corp and like to hide in J-space from the weirdness of highsec and the drama of nullsec. Wormholes for me have been pretty safe and profitable so far, with zero industrial losses to this date (industrial losses, I've surrendered a few legions so far lol).

My short term goals are to save up enough liquid assets to invest in five more accounts (five more miners) bringing the total count up to 8 miners, 1 boost, and 1 pvp/pve toon. This will open up 29 accounts (minus one for other reasons) for PI alone, which will be a massive source of income for me in the year ahead.

My long term goals include using the investment and resources that I have accumulated at this point through multibox mining to produce capitals, POS's, fuel, ships, and a manner of other items and be enabled to be the financial backbone of an alliance. Things are going pretty swell at this point in terms of heading that direction and I only look forward to continuing to work towards it.

This is my first post on dual-boxing.com so I'd also like to say hello and looking forward to many fruitful discussions with my fellow 'boxers :)

Hey Tanner,

Welcome to the boards and thanks for sharing!

The more the merrier in the Eve section.... if you have any news to share or just feel like hashing something out, whether it be a procedural MBoxing thing or just an Eve related thing, feel free to throw up a post.

Updated:

Earned enough to outfit the entire group in exhumers. Giving up my other orca and trying mackinaw mining / self hauling to see if I like that method better than hauling with the orca.

We try a new methode with giant contenairs. with a freighter, we carry few giant contenairs ( 120.000m3) and we full with the hulks around. When 5 /6 are full, the freighter carry back to the station. The huge contenairs 240.000m3 are little to big ans better to use the 120.000 for the operation. now freighter can jettison / load / unload in full space so it s fast and huge ore quantity in each travel.

So the trade-off is you risk some security issues for a LOT more efficient hauling trips?

the pocke is in 0.0 and the last of the series so the intel advise me before hotdropper arrive
