Setting up my first 6-7box, suggestions/thoughts/advice?

[Morganti]

There are only a few multiboxers left from these forums on eve atm.

My first question would be "why so many toons for just missions?". I ran 5 (2 logi 2 dps 1 noctis) and it was overkill tbh. I did select missions and always looted salvaged everything (I had 3 toons getting missions in a 5 agent hub (level 4's). Blitzing you don't need more than 2 toons usually.

As for ships, T1 frigs and cruisers just got a massive boost, so use them on the way up in standings. For level 4's Nightmares and Mach's are king of the dps tree (Marauders are nice too, but no need if you have a noctis toon and harder to skill into) for missions. Tengu's and Mach's are the normal "blitzing" ships (from what I understand) with a logi account on the side for tough fights.

You could go the drone route, but with the new AI your drones will get kill more often that you may be used to (especially if they are your only source of dps).

Why the hell are people so fond of the Tengu? It has terrible DPS compared to other ships less expensive?

As for why so many ships "just for missions", I don't plan to do "just missions". I'd like to eventually skill them up enough to get into a reasonable alliance and move out to 0.0 to do harder things that require 6-7 toons.

It seems multiboxing is on the fall in Eve . Been to several sites now that used to have tons of multiboxers in Eve, yet now they're ghost towns.
