EVE General Discussion

I really want to know, are there capital ship pilots with one account? No cyno alt? What about super cap pilots? Anyone stuck in their super with their only account?

Something I've always wanted to do at some point in my EVE career is fly a carrier (hence spending time time to train Caldari Carrier V, Fighters V, and Fighter Bombers because why not at this point). However I've never really been able to do that, because despite putting the time in and learning the basics (regarding carriers) via reading and sisi, I lack a secondary account. Whether it's for logistics (including cyno, no one wants to be there to move your ass whenever you decide you want to move), or for some subcap fun (assuming main is stuck in a super, and you just have to keep your training going lol).

Now, I don't really expect to find anyone who flies caps and has a single account, but I hope to. On the off chance there are any of you out there, I'd love to know how you pull it off so that maybe I can as well.

In the event that I don't find any cap pilots with a single account, I would instead like to ask; is it wrong for CCP to make a game where an alt account is necessary?

I understand that EVE is multiplayer, but I don't think anyone is going to argue that some 'multiplayer' aspects of EVE hardly seem realistic. As previously stated, no one is going to cyno you around whenever you feel like moving.

Discuss.

Everything you say is true. I think a lot of it depends on your expectations: I wanted to fly a cap in my career for a while as well, but I'm a solo pilot mostly, so I decided that didn't fit my playstyle. Looking at them is fun too. I have better things to spend skill points on at my stage.

I don't think an alt account is 'neccesary'. I think you are a little biased to see it that way. What's necessary is having a group of friends to play with, and that suits the concept of the cap ship very well; the top tier ship of corporation of a certain size.

What's 'wrong' is people playing more than one account to enable them to fly those ships. Not that I begrudge them that, but the best decision I ever made, in terms of my immersion, and in terms of quality use of my playtime, was throwing away my alt accounts.

I know quite a few single account cap pilots, but no single account supercap pilots.

Depending on other people to light your cynos and scout for you, invariably leads to a Capless pilot........

if you can afford to buy and lose cap ships you usually can afford a plex a month, which is why I don't think there are too many cap pilots with just 1 account because of that reason.

I can fly capitals and I only have 1 account

It's that whole multiplayer aspect of the game that people seem to forget about

Does this mean you're going to stop being a **** to me?

I don't know anyone with a jump capable ship and no cyno alt at least....

Thanks for the input everyone. Apparently what I need are excellent bros. The rarest commodity in EVE.

Brohoof!
