ROFL. Hi Chimay. Funny seeing you here.Originally Posted by 'Bradster',index.php?page=Thread&postID=35534#post 35534
I ran/run under the name AlphaGeek1 in eve, or HardCoded2 for more pvp oriented stuff.
I ran a corp for my alts and the alts of other multiboxers or otherwise hardcore players for some time. We worked with similar corporations as well(Hi again Chimay!). High-end multibox roaming or camping pvp was pretty fun imo. Mining with 6/7 characters paid the bills(hulks, itty 5s, someone running tank and gang mods), you could also run multiple characters to clear level 4 missions faster.
PVP was a bit tricky. For camping, pvp was awesome. You can have a carrier for support, delegating fighters out to other ships for extra DPS, have one client as an interdictor and/or heavy interdictor to catch your prey, one or many bs for some dps, and however many shield/armor boosters for fleet survivability, which could also be crammed with jammers.(these guys make survivability of the rest of your gang go waaay up, as they are likely to attract a lot of attention, and if not, they'll do a lot of good) Roaming is a bit more intense due to loading times after jumping through grids, so one or two per machine whatever configuration, although you want to pick shiptypes that have different frequency of use, like the setup I used for camping. I'd usually fly an interdictor(before hics), a jammer and a heavy hitter. For large fleet fights, multiboxing is pretty lame. Really you should only run one eve client per computer, as the simplistic client design maxes out your memory and connection, especially when grids load/desynch.
I haven't thought of how to other features of octopus or anything like that, but multiple characters provide a huge advantage in eve. I recommend it :-)
edit: that "extra" support character is really crucial in maximizng synergy, as they either provide passive buffs, abilities that you didn't have before (remote rep), and fill out your gang nicely. Remote sensor boosting characters in your gang is also a huge passive buff that you can just leave on and forget about, especially if you fit that character ina cheap ship ie blackbird or osprey.
