RE: EVE Online mission multiboxing ships ?
If your serious about multiboxing Eve let me know, Im also considering going back to Eve, im burnt out on WoW, plus the new expansion for Eve just came out, so I am definately curious. Im looking at reactivating my main (caldari 20mill SP toon miner/hauler believe I can fly a raven, just do not currently own one :)) + my 3 new alts I'll be rolling I figure i'll probably roll out a small mining operation as that seems to be the quickest way I can remember of making money and staying in empire. FAT implants well low risk in .05+ sounds like perfect place to chill to me. I think im bringing another crazy Wow addict with me to eve so if we got a few more serious players together and formed a casual corp we'd be all set (i have corp skills as well if memory serves)

Do we still have anyone multiboxing EVE? I know Bradster was kicking ass there for a while. I'm going to pick back up EVE Online when the new xpack hits (March 10th). My goal is to have accounts that pay for themselves within 6 months, to become filthy rich -- 100B is my long term goal -- and then PVP for the lulz.
Last time I quit I got rid of all my high SP characters so I'll be starting over from scratch skill-wise, I do have my forum posting account alt who has around 500M ISK as a nest egg for when I wanted to come back. So I do have a rather good leg up on getting restarted since I can easily buy ships, skills and implants right off the bat.

Yea, I'm serious. I pruned my wow accounts down to 2 since I didn't expect to be playing much now that I'm enthralled by Eve again. While I'm not 100% sure what I want to do long term, I'm currently content to work toward accounts that cover themselves. Once I have that taken care of I can always leave some sleeper accounts to bake skills while I play active accounts or even go back to Wow if I need a change of scenery.
I'm rounding out my main character right now, while only 3.2 mil SP, he has enough skills to give me flexibility in playstyle. Currently he is 6 hours from being able to start training Battleships and another 2 days from bumping up to a retriever for mining. Both my combat characters are at Caldari Cruisers 2 and once they finish up some missile training they will begin to work on learning skills before the push to Battleships for them. The cargo character is working on some learning skills before she puts the 4 days into Gallente Industrial 4 and then works toward freighters; between her Iteron 3 and my mains Iteron 4 I can move cargo when I need to and she sits idle between trips when I'm mining so there is no hurry.
I created two other trial accounts and set them up to work toward being able to fly Procurers in about 14 days. It's amazing how much you can accomplish skill wise when you know exactly what you want and you can leave a character alone to train. I've really become fond of the planning feature of EveMon. You tell it your end goal in terms of skill, item or ship and it plans out the skills you need and how long they will take. It even suggests learning skills if they will lower the total training time. I plan on creating a couple more trial accounts and setting them up for specific roles. If I find I don't need them, I'm only out the ISK I spent on the skills. If I end up converting the accounts, it's only just over 2 months to Exhumers with the new character skill bonus now.
I find the style of multiboxing that you have with Eve interesting in cntrast to Wow. With wow I had to be playing and paying attention every second or I felt like I was getting behind. I could only progress on as many characters as I could play at once. I had to be there for all the grinding. With Eve, I actually feel like I'm benefiting from having other accounts when I'm not even playing them. If I feel like doing combat or some missions, my mining characters are being wasted; they're just getting better at skills and closer to being able to fly bigger ships. There is still grinding the intial ISK for gear and such, but I don't feel like I'm getting behind if I'm not playing like I did with Wow. If you add in the fact that all the end game goals are goals you set for yourself, then it feels even more liberating. The only thing that can get to me with Eve is that time delay on skills. It drove me crazy when I was playing in the begining, but having multiple accounts makes that less of an issue since you can play other characters while you train those week and month long skills.
297 days until I can fly a Titan. Should be just enough time to earn the money to build one.

RE: RE: RE: EVE Online mission multiboxing ships ?
I think 3 or 4 accounts with proper planning will more then cover themselfs in about 6-10 months of training/playing a 60day GTC (game time card for those not in the know) goes for bout 620-650mill isk which can be made fairly easy by each player (every 2 months) if you do a few serious mining events once or twice a week. In regard to long term plans I hope to see myself in a pretty successful mining/freighthauling/researching capacity and buisness..its not about hoarding isk for me, its about owning rae blueprints and building ships that other players can only drool over. Eve's playstyle can be tailored to whatever your heart desires and thats what makes it so appealing...you hit it on the head about alts in Wow, they truely do just sit there, and do nothing, unless they are your crafting alts..but again how often do you use them. Where as in Eve with careful planning and forethought each account can have a function and purpose that will match up with your long term plan.
The other beauty of Eve is there is no MAX level, no 14 year olds running around on level 80 dk's with all day to play greiving everyone simply because they are bored. Eve's to harsh for most kids, when you lose a 500 million isk decked out ship, you seriously just log off and go cry in a corner for a day or two...lick your wounds, remember what you did wrong and move on.
I think there might be enough like minded people wanting or already returned to eve to put a corporation together and start helping each other out in game, I know on my trial account already i've helped countless people out which shocks them cause your instantly assumed to be a noob like everyone else if your still in the rookie chatroom *hehe*.
