pretty much for the 10 years ive been playing esp after 08 when mass advertising took effect in the us the answer has always been from other people to get more accounts

disappointing really, since eve has a nice little statement against running multiple accounts

which I don't have access to pulling up since eve discontinued the wiki where it was posted from ccp

Do not try to understand the mind of god.

Honestly i just like to be self-sufficient. i also like to help others. a JF will let me do that. Im just disappointed that while my main character is 3 days away from a JF, it will be useless without training up a completely fresh character for highsec JF travel.

so, i've wanted a jumpfreighter for a long time, and now im really starting to look into it and plan for it.

I realized in order to run a jumpfreighter without being a complete idiot, i'll need 3-4 seperate characters, with a minimum of 2 accounts.

1) My "main" JF pilot, in an alliance that is wardec'd 24/7, so that i can dock my freighter into the sov systems
2) My "highsec alt" JF pilot, so that i can warp my empty JF to jita 4-4 and load it, without being ganked by wartargets.
3) A cyno alt, for obvious reasons.
4) Optionally, a webbing alt to help move my Freighter though highsec when its full of stuff on a return trip.

Cyno alts are trivial, but they are the primary reason you'd need TWO ACCOUNTS.
Having to train the JF skills on two separate pilots is terrible. Yes, they can both be on the same account. But you are REQUIRED to train the same skills twice in order to responsibly use the same JF, because of other game mechanics (wars, killrights, etc)


Im honestly not sure what can be done about this, but its not right.



I agree, furthermore, it's not just with JF pilots. This game is night and day with multi accounts vs single pilot. I use blaster BS in missions because of the DPS, but it'd really be better if I can have an alt in an orca at safe BM in same system to reload my cap booster 800's and salvage when I'm done, as one example. But really, I should be able to change ships and not have to worry about the empty ship getting jacked when I'm gone.

Don't listen to these people who try to talk down your points, there should be changes to give solo pilots more options to essentially eliminate need for an alt. However CCP needs the money, but how long will it go before enough people get fed up and demand them to fix this stuff?
