You should compare it with a guy running multiple computers with one EVE client each, connected by a kvm switch, that pases mouse and keyboard actions to each computer.
And you will see that this guy doesn't use any third party software and gets the same result as the Isboxer.


Forgive me, but a legit question. I haven't messed with KVM stuff for...at least 15 years. The last KVM I used had a "computer A, B, C, D, etc" rotary switch that you had to physically change. you still had to issue individual commands to each system.

Do they make KVM systems that "broadcast" one keystroke to multiple systems?


I was curious myself, so I did a couple minutes of googling and, sure enough, there appear to be plenty of "broadcast mode" KVMs out there. It looks like they run from about $150US (4port) to $750US (8port). Sorry, no links...I'm headed out the door for work.

They are little special, but exist. Like this one http://www.vetra.com/804B_text.html
But I'm not a hardware guru and I dont use this kind of hardware either. This was just a result of a quick internet lookup.

I love my job.

Odyssey: Repacking in POS hangars for modules +1,  but please for other stuff too, especially containers. Make containers openable in POS hangars.

My personal stand is indifferent about the use of this program; I have never used it and may never will but....

This is simply killing the MMO element of this game, things that used to be group activities (IT'S A MMO FFS !!) are now done just as well by a single pilot with many toons. You need someone to light a cyno for your cap ship (caps were intended as a group project I belive) naahh, I'll just log in one of my 10+ alts spread around the galaxy and cyno myself, I don't need to interact with other pilots it's a single player campaign right ?? first one to 10000 Billions wins ??

get in a group, run difficult sites, Mine, share good stories and have some laughs while you are at it interact with people FFS ! It's a game its not work Lol


I have to correct you sir. MMO is the acronym of Mass Multi-Player. Each of your 'toons' represents the 'PLAYER' in Mass Multi-Player. The fact that you are only sitting behind one logged in at any given time and others sit behind multiple instances of the game is purely preference. I can understand why you want to convolute the issue to prove a point but you are talking about two different things. Also, CCP makes it clear and encourage and promote and make deals with current subscribers to have multiple accounts. There are adverts on you Eve Launcher all the time.
