Anyone know of a scalable (1-15 characters) ISK making activity wih ISBoxer? Mining is a no go, by the time you're at 13 miners (1 booster, 1 hauler), you would not be able to keep up with all the micro management. You can't multibox missions. Incursions could work, but it's not very scalable in the mid region, because, other than the fact some groups don't like multi boxers, it's exceptionally hard to multibox different ship types. I can't really think of anything else except anom running and DED sites, but the first doesn't scale very well and the 2nd is the same as the first. |

Most that I see are mining. But I personally can't see why people do that. The game is not even designed for it anyway. |

I've been instapopped in a battlecruiser by ISBoxed tornado blob at 100km+
Ultra lame. Pay to win, flat out.
But apparently CCP likes that kind of action.

i remember hearing from a guy who was multiboxing incursions with spider tanked nightmares. he was ganked after a while but presumably he had made some serious bank at that point.
i can also imagine multiboxing FW missions or lvl5s. lastly, i don't think mining on 10+ accounts is too stressful, as long as you use a freighter for hauling.

Or...uhm...play with others and don't use ISB / use less accounts.

Yeah, I know about multiboxing incursions. But I won't be setting up all accounts straight away, I want to build to however many, but (as stated in the op), it's hard to build up with incursions. Mining is less of a problem about hauling (although that's still a problem) and more of a problem of the speed that asteroids would get depleted if I set all of them on one, and if I didn't, then the fact that I need to micro manage it. |

back when i tried serious mining, i would set the overlay on each of my alts to only show one type of ore. that way you can effectively avoid two ships mining the same rock. flying procurers/skiffs also helps because you do not have to spread lasers

Not helpful, but a pretty typical attitude toward ISBoxers in EvE. If you must box, prepare to be an outcast.
You can pretty much do anything in EVE. I knew a guy that used to run C5 WH sites with about 24 tengus.
Just ask yourself...is it worth it? Do you need all that isk? Why do you need it? For me, the fun part is spending the isk. For others, isk is a metric of how well they are doing, which is fine too. However, I have a lot more respect for the trillionaires that make their fortunes off the markets, using intelligence and guile. All you need for ISBoxing is good software. And if everyone did it the game would be very lame. You're basically just cheating to get rich. So you can expect to be looked down upon by most everyone.

It won't work perfectly once you reach beyond 3-4 characters (not incl. hauler/booster) because multiple would be mining, but it's a good idea. Thanks :)

Like I said. Lame. That is not PVP at all.

I don't really see isboxer as P2W. It just simplifies the creation of a blob and makes their mobility a bit better. Also, are 10 nadoes really that strong? I'm gonna go play with eft for a bit.. |

Really?
Not everyone can afford a PC setup that can run ten clients at once. Not everyone can afford to sub 10 accounts.
If I could afford such a setup, I still would not do it. Because this is a multi-player game. One player simultaneously controlling an entire fleet is not what I am interested in. And it would be paying to win were I to do so.
As for "simplification"...if it was ten players controlling those ten ships, that's ten margins for error, ten separate decision loops. Not one instantly communicated and coordinated with perfection across ten different ships.
So sure, I guess that's "simplification." It's also lame, since the only counter is either a) have a huge gang with you or b) be another isboxer.
But, like I said, CCP seems cool with it. So whatever.

So whatever. the problem with EVE is that it can be incredibly boring when you only play on one account. i used to run lvl4s on one of my alts while playing world of tanks on the other screen. i can't imagine how boring it would be to operate a freighter in hisec if you can't do other things at the same time.
and no, you can't always be chatting and socializing with your friends/corp to fight the boredom, nor would i want to.

There's a huge difference between dual-boxing two characters doing separate tasks and ISBoxing 10 guys for a single task. The first can enrich your experience and offer you new opportunities. The second is just bad for gameplay balance, in any situation. In the Tornado example your opponent is basically "fighting" one guy and 9 perfect copycat machines. If I wanted to play against a machine I would go PVE. It's not PVP when it's actually PVPMMMMMMMMM.

you have the carebear mentality....go ahead. But someday all you will be able to do is run ISB gank squads because anything else makes you a target....and deserving to be bombed out of game by a group of social players that might enjoy killing ISB players.....ive already seen some taking that stance...ganking ISB players just because. |

It makes sense to me if by virute I am correct in reading between the lines you support and advocate the useage of ISB and playing the game basically solo instead of grouping with others that also actively play.
In that regards....i feel you are a carebear. |

exaclty....carebear. and in a small way a BOT supporter....so i would say cheater or a lazy bum...or someone that is partially if not fully anti-social. Why the need for 10 acounts to go mining? or incursion running? to compete better than a group of Players whilst being solo? Tells me you believe the limited content of some areas is meant for 1 player instead of 10 players despite the content being limited for at least 10 players |

It has nothing to do with being antisocial. It has to do with the fact that I would make 10* more isk if I mine or run incursions with 10* more pilots. |

Why should I as one player need to either buy a dozen accounts to isbox or rally a dozen other players to counter one dickhead flying ten ships at once?
You obviously do not understand a) what multiplayer means, b) what pvp means or c) what carebear means.
Flying an isbox fleet in some dead end system grinding isk = carebear.
Flying an isbox sniper fleet to gatecamp in low =/= pvp, that's just flat out pay-to-win.

Flying an isbox sniper fleet to gatecamp in low =/= pvp, that's just flat out pay-to-win. Multiplayer just means multiple players. I'm not fighting myself so it fits that. Ehat difference does it make to you if it's 10 ships piloted by 1 person or 10 ships by 10 people? Hell, it's probably easier to beat multi boxers with ECM because they (normally) fly 1 ship type/fit. Clearly our definition of player is different, since I don't define it as 1 capsuleer, I define it as 1 person. There is no real set definition of carebear (that I'm aware of). I've seen people that define them as those that believe pvp should be consensual only, those that hate pvp and those that don't care about it because they know how to avoid it. Not sure what your definition is, since we define players differently. What is it paying to win? Some fights? If you won the fight (which is.. pvp), then are you not doing pvp? Maybe not fair pvp, but pvp nonetheless. |

Look some people like it some hate it but I know a guy who would use isboxer and run a fleet with logistics (not same ships with same fits) when he solo pvped it sucked because he had 10-12 toon with logistics not as easy as killing nados so please be aware what is multiplayer if you can run a solo roam and not everyone can afford that in some way it is pay to win. Im not bashing you for carebearing with it just that you should show some respect to those that can't pay to be at an advantage as you can.
Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up.

That was the whole point of the thread, to get ideas for things that you can start with 1 character and eventually scale to 12+ so that you can run multiboxed fleets.

As for "simplification"...if it was ten players controlling those ten ships, that's ten margins for error, ten separate decision loops. Not one instantly communicated and coordinated with perfection across ten different ships. So sure, I guess that's "simplification." It's also lame, since the only counter is either a) have a huge gang with you or b) be another isboxer. But, like I said, CCP seems cool with it. So whatever. the problem with EVE is that it can be incredibly boring when you only play on one account. i used to run lvl4s on one of my alts while playing world of tanks on the other screen. i can't imagine how boring it would be to operate a freighter in hisec if you can't do other things at the same time. and no, you can't always be chatting and socializing with your friends/corp to fight the boredom, nor would i want to.
Please, enlighten me.
How does having 9 clients you do NOT control and just mimic what you are doing on client 1 enhance your gameplay.
Other then the obvious...I'm an ******* who can't play with friends, it doesn't enhance the game at all.
