Night is long and I am just a bit bored so some wild ideas sometimes comes to my mind...

One of those is a way to make alt chars from an account to become an NPC alt.
On an account one would need at least one normal char to give orders to those npc char. NPC char to do anything would need skills just like normal char.
NPC char would not have any property - it would use property normal char from same account order him to use.
No fancy AI, just simple actions. some schedules for transporting or selling at market prices, simple battle orders, etc.
Good to do some repeated automated simple tasks.

This NPC would take orders only from normal char from same account. Player could not log onto this NPC char (his skill queue would be managed from normal char level). Once made an NPC - this char cannot become PC controlled char.
NPC char would be active only when normal char of same account is in game (same time).

So what do you think?

Please refer to this thread and the unanimous NO that it received in response from capsuleers.

Every 255 man fleet is now actually a 765 man fleet.

just sounds like you want (almost) all the benefits of multi boxing without the drawback of subbing another account.

Guessing you probably have grand ideas of doubling your mining yield or bounty payouts for no extra expense.
