Can you have a main character and an alt on the same EvE Online account and train both of their skills at the same time?
Or do you need two accounts in order to do this.... Tried searching for info and couldn't find anything... |

By activating a PLEX you can activate a second skill queue for 30 days. A second PLEX for a third. Expencive, but it can be practical if you need an alt for a specific job. |

You can train two or even all three characters on the same account, however there is a cost involved in doing so.
You activate a PLEX which allows you to activate training for two characters at the same time (for 30 days, at the end of which the character with the lesser amount of SP would pause training). You can then activate a second PLEX which gives you the option of activating training for a third character for 30 days or adding another 30 days onto the second character.
Each additional PLEX extends training by 30 days per character for the two characters. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

It costs you a PLEX for each additional character you are training on the same account. Maximum of three training at once.
Look up "Multi Character training" .
UPSIDE of using MCT. - Once the alt is trained as a miner or trader of hauler or whatever you can stop PLEXIng and use him/her for free forever afterwards. This is a huge advantage as once trained up they are free.
DOWNSIDE of using MCT - The characters can not be logged in at the same time. With a separate account you can be logged into both at once on two PCs or in two windows. With MCT you need to log out the current Alt or your main and login the other one. |

So would it be cheaper to do it the PLEX way on the same account? Or to open a new account altogether.... a few people I know just have separate accounts.. |

It's a PLEX either way. If you have the item, it just depends on whether you ever intend to login with them both at the same time or not.
Lots of people use multiple accounts to act as spies or scouts, for example. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

A separate account will cost you a PLEX per month to keep it active.
The two "free" alts on your main you can train till they are useful then stop Plexing.
So depends what you are trying to do.
It can even be sensible to combine both.
For example:
1) Main account for PvP with a mining alt and a hauling alt. 2) 2nd account as PvP tackler with a mining alt and cyno alt.
When PvPing log in the main and the tackle alt. When mining, login both the mining alts. When hauling, login the hauler Alt and his cyno buddy.

It is cheaper by far to sub a new account than plex a 2nd on an existing. Unless your isk rich and buy plex on market.
But it depends what your doing. For example PI alts ...plex on same until trained. Stop training.
Want a scout or mining buddy...cyno alts to move your main? Then get the 2nd account. Much better long term value imho. |

Basically: Do you want to use this character along with another on the account you'd otherwise be creating this character in? Make a new account. Do you want to continue training this character indefinitely or for at least a pretty long time? Make a new account. Otherwise, do you only want to train it for a month to a few and don't need to use it concurrently? Use multi-character training.
If the last one applies to you and you choose to make a new account, you're probably stupid. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

That you can train all 3 alts on one account at the same time?
If that's what you mean, I semi agree, as if you take any other mmorpg out there, you can have alts, gear them up invidually and log on and play the role needed in your guild. However EVE is not working the same way and cannot be compared as totally different from others, or that is what the majority tells us. Based on other threads regarding this issue.
CCP might as well just remove the 2 alts option, as they are useless in that regard. But that is not gonna happen now that they have made it possible via PLEX to open training simultaneously = making more money.
