EVE New Citizens Q&A

hai dear interwebz overlords

i just started training some PI alts on a new account

do i need to be able to fly my own industrial ship or can i pick up stuff with my mains blockade runner ?

It depends largely on what you're going to be doing. If you're flying cargo in low or nullsec, you'll want something that'll let you survive long enough to get away, and a properly-fit blockade runner will certainly do that.

On the other hand, if you're staying in a (relatively) safe area, an industrial ship might be the way to go; most of them only have one high slot (and most don't go very fast), but they have larger cargobays, which will mean fewer back-and-forth trips that might attract attention.

tyvm !

No buy a fully T2 rigged/fitted Iteron mark 5, they go for more ISK and look nicer on the killboards.

Back on topic:

only the owner of the installations on the planet can acces the stuff you have in the costum office, so you can use the above mentioned jet-can technique or you can train those alts into a cheap industrial ship if you are using high-sec planets

Another way is to not use the launch pad for export but the control centre, this means your stuff will be shot into space at a random spot and appear in a jetcan, just fleet your main and alt and warp them to the can with a fleet warp so the main can pick it up.
