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

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.

doz3rr, what sort of machine is it? I thought my machine would have trouble running a bunch of Eve's but it turns out I max out around 23 or so, and then only due to memory. If you have the settings adjusted right and turn off Aero in Windows you can get quite a few Eve's running. Aside from memory, my biggest limiter is monitor real estate.

And yes, this means I'm back boxing Eve I'll be doing the most mundane thing you can box, mining Ice in high sec starting with 21 clients.

Hey Souca, I remember you, long time no see.

My box is a i7 with sli 560. I recently upgraded it to 14GB of RAM. But I seem to remember my Eve clients taking up around 600mb each. After OS and everything I'm sitting at 10GB free. Good luck with Ice mining. I tried it and almost shot myself due to boredom. But if I suppose if you have 20+ miners going, you'll be busy lol.
