10 accounts, help me decide what to do with them/train on them

I've restarted EVE recently too - unfortunately I can't multibox as I still don't have a decent rig but I'm attempting to make some ISKies via trading. I'll see how it goes.

Souca, keep an eye out for gankers, that many ships in one place is a juicy target.

I thought I saw you a couple times. I'd be curious to hear how the trading goes.

As for gankers, the new changes to mining barges make them much harder to take out now, but even if I lose all my ships I can replace them easily enough with the iskies from ice mining. I don't intend to fly anything beyond a Retriever for a while since the extra ice you see from a Mackinaw now is only 5% at best.

Did they change any of the reqs for flying the mining barges when they changed their roles around? EVEMon still has the old reqs from what I can tell.

The Covetor is now extremely easy to get into - you can have a brand new pilot in a Covie with T1 Ice upgrades/harvesters in less than 12 days, then have it upgraded to full T2 in a further 12 days and max (er, min) the laser cycle with Mining Barge 4+5 in a final 20 days.

With my Orca boost (still doing Industrial Command Ship 5 to max my boost), my maxed out Covetor pilots are cycling ice at 178s whilst my maxed out Hulk pilots are only getting a 10.5s advantage at 167.53s - a Hulk costs around 200m, a Covetor only around 30m.

Whilst I will eventually put them all in Hulks, the Covetor is an amazingly efficient ice mining platform and a far lower financial risk out in the field

All Mining Barges now require Mining Barges I and Astrogeology III to fly, so as soon as you can fly one of them, you can fly all of them. You can get a new character into a mining barge with minimal skills to mine Ice in just about 7-8 days.

Good to know. I need something to do at work and level 5's were never a good idea to do there since I can get pulled away or put on the phone at any time. Since I'd be in hisec for mining I'm sure I would have to do ice since the hisec roids are so small.
