I need some advice from someone who is a sc or titan pilot and playing with multiple accounts.

I have 2 accounts and I am in a point in my EVE life where I feel like i should get a super carrier to join the super blobs.

I have 1 active toon on each account, both capable capital pilots. What I want to avoid is having one of them permanently stuck in a super.

So it seems my options are: buy a fully capable super pilot (isk isk)
Buy a super holder alt and have him sit in the super while my mains can fly around. Train one of the mains up to the super and swap the pilots when the super is needed for action.
Should the super holder be on the same account as the super pilot or the other account?

I guess my final goal is to have both accounts in a super (one sc and one titan)

Is the following final setup feasible?

Account1:
SC Main
Cyno Alt
Titan Holder

Account2:
Titan Main
Cyno Alt
SC Holder

Any comments and advice is very welcome.

Don't claim to be a SC or titan pilot, but do know a few.

Yes, you need the holder of the titan/SC on a different account from the one that will be flying in into battle.

Second, and just my opinion, is if I were to have a SC or titan, I would have more than one cyno alt to use.

So a third account is needed, for 3 more cyno alts/scouts. Because I would want options to where I jump too other than just one.

Hope this helps,

At some point you'll be sitting in your supers inside POS, waiting for some timers, and listening your alliance mates having fun in HACs, recons or frigates.

I need new signature.

That why I will probably only fly one of them at a time :)

Plus, financially, I am still quite a bit off a titan. So for a long time it will just be one SC

IANASCP (I'm not a SC pilot) but you can have the holder alt double as a cyno alt. Once you're flying your SC, the holder alt has no use so he/she might aswell cyno.

You need the holder to be on a different account than the main, so you can be self sufficient. You will want the holder to be cyno trained and also covert ops frigate trained. When you switch ships/pilots, you eject a covert ops ship from your hold, and the cyno/holder can move forward. All 3 toons on the second account should be cyno ready.

When your main is sitting in the Super. It's like putting him in prison. If you don't have a second well trained character, life will get very boring, very fast.
