EVE Multiboxers

[Alptraum]

Yes the 3 new toons will essentially be doing very little till their training hits the points I need them to, my main has/had cant recall what became of all my ships but I did at one point have a bunch of exhumer stuff floating about from my previous mining corp, I recall we had a fleet of osprey's that would just mine like crazy in high sec well newer players just hauled back to base for us.

I plan on beling rather active on my main account till my other 3 are ready but like I said im good with joining up with you guys, I plan on staying in highsec after I jump all my gear back from 0.0 or sell it off for isk. Eve is very much about leaving toons in a safe spot and letting them bake new skills out....some ppl consider that part boring, but then again if they are only play one toon at a time what else can they expect. My main is pretty self sufficent if memory serves me.

after the 3 toons are all skilled up though, thats a pretty large mining setup waiting to strip belts with.

I thought they didnt allow MBing in Eve?

No, they do. I think the GM post you are thinking of was later determined to be information from a misinformed GM. There was a link to the official forums later on that clarified it. Additionally I have been reading the newbie channel in game when I can and have told people how to do it and had multiple people tell me they box as well. This channel is monitored and responded to by the equivalent of a green poster and there has never been any correction of my statement on multiboxing. That said, the software will not allow you to play a trial and paid account at the same time or more than one trial account. It detects this and refuses to log on. It does not do this with multiple paid accounts. The main thing I'm going off of was the official forum post though.

just to let you guys know that I did restart Tatiana Starr and quickly bounced out in my hulk to do a spot of minign last night - the new asteroids are pretty!

I'm currently in Lisudeh in the Devoid region and 5 jumps from Rens in the Heimatar region. Rens is a decent base of ops for me, my corp ofice is there, it's close to some passable hi-sec mining areas, and there's a lo-sec area nearby via Amamake.

An alliance sounds good to me - just got to watch out for them damn PVP corps declaring war!

Newbie advice follows:

You'll need maps to plan out where to go - http://www.ombeve.co.uk/

You'll need EVEMon to plan out your characters - http://evemon.battleclinic.com/

and EFT to plan out your ships - http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard...hreadID=548883

I just picked up a 60day box set of Eve online from bestbuy last night and got my new Hulk toon started, 73d's till piloting that bad boy and chewing up ore, cant wait to buddy up 2 more accounts and start them also down mining paths.

Have 4 accounts right now (3 miners, 1 hauler), looking to expand to 6.

On my very first day of mining as a total noob I had a can flipper! Since then I've only encountered one other. So in ~13 days of mining, 2 assholes. I'm sure there will be more. I just can't imagine they make any money doing that. The isk/hr must be horrid, especially if they lose their ship.

So do we want to plan a meet up for some mining this weekend? I can bring a couple Iteron 4s or a Barge and one hauler. I've also got two chars that will be in battleships early Sunday morning, or missile boat cruisers before then.

We should also try and come up with a region and maybe system that we could base out of to make working together easier. I'm willing to move my operation to anywhere if there is some good 0.5 mining and easy access to 0.3 for eventual moon mining.

Also any suggestions on a name for an alliance? What skills will we need to form one?

How did we want to handle mining shares? I've never really minded with anyone else, so I'm not sure how people usually handle it.

Hey guys

I'm on GMT (5 hours ahead of EST) so up for some early meet ups

I can mine (Hulk) or haul (Mammoth) on Tatiana and I have a support character that can salvage and throw drones at things (Myrmidon)

Regarding the split I suggest we refine in the nearest station (Tatiana has Refining V, Refinery Efficieny IV, and several 'Asteroid Processing' skills), sell and split the cash however many ways - but I'm open to variations on that theme.

As for an alliance name we should come up with something thats a bit of a pun on multiboxing but not 'in your face'. Maybe something to do with clones? or fleets?

[Souca]

Works for me. Guess the biggest question is where to meet. Based on the current market, Veldspar is the best yield per cycle since Tritanium is selling for 3.9 to 4.15 per. You might have me beat on refining, but just barely. I only have Refinging Efficiency at 3 and Veldspar Processing at 3.

On James I can bring a Battleship, a Retriever, or an Iteron 4. Kaetryna pretty much is only good for an Iteron 4. The two combat chars can come in cruisers with missiles and drones until Sunday when they will be in Battleships.

Oh, and I noticed you when you logged off, but I missed you logging on. Might have been when I was scanning moons, warped into a face full of energy nuetralizer and lost my Megathron *grumble grumble*. Was a pain in the ass to even get the cargo out that survived. Sad thing was that this was only 0.3 space. Guess I need to invest some in defense skills and such or stick with 0.5 sec mining only.

I'm actually avoiding flying battleships - it takes an awful lot of skills to get them good, and only a good battleship pilot will stand a chance against those damn tech II (and now tech III) cruisers.

Learning to use large tech II turrets, missiles, and drones, while also having a good tank and cap management takes a very long time - I'm looking at 100 or so days on my 14M SP combat character and over 200 days for my 13M SP general character....!

So, yeah, cruisers are the way to go for combat...

I'll be back later - got to go shopping, etc, etc

I'm willing to move my operation to anywhere if there is some good 0.5 mining and easy access to 0.3 for eventual moon mining.

I know it's easy for me but Heimatar/Rens (or nearby) has high and low sec areas nearby. Hisec mining out of Abudban, Dammalin, Alkgur, Osoggur ranges from 05. to 08 and it's only a few jumps to Amamake, Auga, Siseide (0.3-0.4) and with links to a few other regions close by - Derelik, Metropolis, Devoid, Sinq Liaison, and The Bleak Lands.

I've got approx 12+ toons based in that area and I'll be cycling through them over the next year or so, keeping one or two accounts active at any one time.
