if you been boxing and being smart about your training you wont mind the changes that are being hinted at all. but if you are sitting in toons with Battleship skills to V and large guns you will be pissed. and you have no one to blame but yourself.

this is not just for boxers, everyone will get hit. Battleship hulls will get restricted to only Assaults and HQs, vgs will be again for Cruisers and HACs and hopefully battlecruisers. this will GREATLY restrict all the new terribad boxed fleets you see popping up all over the place, or force them to eat a good 3 months of training before even daring to enter a VG.

the problem is, as always, the "incursioneers". they will bitch to no end about it, even when they hate multiboxers with passion and would love to see changes that affect them negatively. so probably the open discussion about the changes will take long to even start. point is, don't rely on Vgs for your eve needs.

as people have said already, find a stationless system and multibox PI. drop the command centers on all planets, then broadcast mouse to all windows and click the "view planetary command center" button to sync all windows. and mirror the pi network across all characters, and set cycles to short. for better results find a quiet lowsec system, WH, or get on a renter corp with ANY planets. you don't even need to chase the hotspots around the planets, or ahve the planets make sense, the bulk of pi stuff you'll get will compensate for you loss in yield. doing it in highsec will cover about 30% of your expenses, in low about 40% and null/Whs about 60% - 70%. if you take the time to do the stups right you can pick up the PI stuff at the same speed it would take you to pick up one character, regardless of how many you characters you actually have.

keep in mind that moving the PI stuff will be a pain, since there will be so much of it.

i used to do PI in low, and had 162 planets it took me 15 minutes a day to update them all, and an additional 20 to do a full run pick up the goods once a week. once a month i would pile up all the stuff, and use a character with 6 factory planets to grind the stuff another PI level up, and then JF it to Jita. im sure you wont go so mental with the setup, but i did, and could cover all the accounts with pi alone.
I'm a long way off starting any fleets yet still getting my PI sorted and trained up on one account to make sure i can manage the plex each month. Currently setup on 6 planets in 0.3 system 3 jumps from my main mission base atm and training to do 5 on the other which will be finished tomorrow. So hopefully a few weeks down the line I will be able to support itself. And after what you said I feel a little more confident in being able to do this and get more accounts on the go again.
