Hey everyone o/
I started playing Eve about four months ago, and just recently started a third account. I didn't totally think through the process, and now I'm wondering what to use the account for. On my other two accounts I have a dedicated industrialist (exhumer/manufacturing/PI) and a nullsec explorer/researcher (covops frig/t2&3 BPCs/data core farming). I'm having a blast so far and a great group of friends, but I am looking for guidance.
This account does not have much sp investment already, although it can fly a t1 fit Oracle. Factional warfare looked interesting to me, but I'm a bit timid to get into it flying solo and with only a small bit of PvP combat experience and just starting skills. That being said, any other avenues that would complement my other two accounts in some way would be great. I also thought of training for a Providence, but I really don't that much m3 to be moved that often, and can already fly a BR on my 2nd account.
Any help?
Thanks :)

Why did you roll a third account if you do not know what to do with it?
I'm my own NPC alt.

This could lead you into incursions which is something you can do full or part time but also gets you skills and experience that can be used effectively elsewhere. |

Having an out-of-corp hauling alt (one who stays in the NPC corps, so they can't be wardec'ed) is often a huge help. It doesn't take long to get your core skills to IV and skill into a DST and Blockade Runner, and they'll serve you extremely well.
Planning a trip to Thera? Check out http://eve-scout.com/ for a list of the current connections.
Once you've made your choice, join the EvE-Scout channel and request a scout to make sure your connection is clear!

Use your negligible PVP skills and 0 skillpoints to kill other negligible PVP skilled, 0 skillpoint farmers. Feel like a boss. Tell the internet you're the best PVPer ever.

Bear in mind, everyone's always talking about having a scout on "another account" so you can travel safely. This scout shouldn't be in your regular corporation. It also shouldn't talk smack in local, or come on the forums and shiptoast. Be vewwy vewwy kah-wy-yet. The bunny rabbits are hunting you.
I don't know about using a relic site toon for a scout. Might be a good idea, but I don't think that sort of ship and skill set is specifically what you need for this job. I could be wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time.)
We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Okay Drevan Falar I ll throw you some ideas, here are my 3 Accounts, some of them have had multiple char training active sometimes to get somewhere but most of the time I am only training 1 or sometimes 2 chars per account
Account 1: Supercapital Alt, Ganking toon, Char 3 unspecialized can do scouting and other little jobs Account 2: Subcap T3 and high value ships PvP Char, Indy char (manufacturing/ invention) and PI Char Account 3: Main PvP Char can fly all subcaps except T3, Explo/Scanning Char, unused NPC alt
Most of my chars do have PI skills as this is my main form of income, and all my chars can light cynos and scout for one another.
Thats how I do it! |

Use it in a contrasting way.
Let the character be a character that pretends to have no isk. It will keep the game fresh, because you'll not forget how it is not to bath in conviniences.
Deliberately having a character that doesn't bath in isk and has it harder ... ... will make sure you don't forget to appreciate how easy it is once you have the isk. Unlike most people who grow apathetic, lazy, bored and wannabe elitistic.
But if you cheat even once you'll regret it.

Train up a PvP toon and go and blast something, maybe join Pandemic Horde first for the experience.

Use the third account to troll GD about how you don't know what to do with your fourth account!

EDIT: But having three accounts enables you to use Black Ops for logistics, something you might want to look into.
What do you mean by black ops logistics?

Well with three accounts you have a covert cyno toon, a toon in a blockade runner such as a Crane and of course a Black Ops BS such as a Redeemer, you can then jump the BR then the BS to that cyno and move around like that, makes doing logistics super easy in low sec and null sec. In hisec you can use low sec systems along the way to get around choke points and camped systems with a bit of thought.
My covert cyno ship is a nullified covert ops Tengu...

Sounds like risk averse suggestion to me. |
