Say you have an empty character slot and nothing else to spend $20 on. What's the most useful alt you can train up in 30 days or less? (Assuming you put +3s in, that's around 1.8m SP.)

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Not sure, kinda in the thoughts about this as well. A scouting alt is high on the list. At least if you into wormholes.
Otherwise a PI/hauling alt could be nice. Setup in a good backwater low-sec system not to far away from hs and use black frog for getting it to a trade hub. The money you get from PI to train it further into hauling by using plexes and dual-char training.
I also hear that cyno alts are common, if you're into that.

There is no useful alt you can put on your main account tbh. Start an alt account, pay the extra 14 a month.

PI

or cyno

No matter what you do with that character after that, either of these will still be useful down the road

PI and trade come to mind. Copy monkey if you're in to that and need the extra research slots for something more productive/skill intensive.

Why not use a Cerebral accelerator? There is one that gives +3, on top of implants, for 30 days. And another with +9 for 14 days.

Been a while since I looked at it, but if you are into S&I a Lab Monkey Alt is pretty handy for the extra Research Slots for ME/PE/Copying
Also Confirming that PI is good for extra ISK too :P

It costs the same to get a different account, plus you get the first 21 days free and a plex if you invite it. Don't bother with making a payed alt on your main account.

Blockade runner, I'm training one using dual char training. Having one on another account is not worth it, you will have to pay 2 accounts to use him.

I made a research & manufacturing alt.

An advanced cyno alt doesn't take 30 days, since they only have 900k SP. You can probably make two in 30 days. Basic cyno alts take far less (electronics 5 + cyno)

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.
