We all know the "problem" Alt for trading in empire - alts for invention - alts for production - alts for research - alts for everything... Personally I'm pretty tired of the endless alt-juggling, running multiple accounts and seeing the login screen more than the game itself...
Thats why I came up with an idea that should dramatically increase game fun, decrease game frustration and actually not too difficult to implement...
Character slot merging! Allows to merge 2 or even all 3 character slots of an account into one slot - which in return opens up to the merged character a second (or third) line of trade, science and industry skill trees.
They all have to be trained from scratch again - the only advantage is that the training skills are already with this character - to offset that advantage simply add a new skill to be learned - called Neural Net Expansion which is needed to be able to use the merger skill trees (has to be like 8x or something).
I hope you guys (and especially CCP) like the idea. It also reduces server space needed to store the alts, items, etc.
Cheers Insomniatic Siri

Thats the next step...merging accounts...
But one step at a time...
The main point is - not having to log in alt after alt all the time...but combine the three available trees of your account for trade, industry and science into one character - much nicer gameplay experience, less logging around and less load for the servers probably too...
I hope someone with CCP understands what I mean and sees the advantages...

*facepalms* No, thats not what I mean.
My suggestion is to merge the character slots of an account - so that you only have 1 slot instead of 3 - and that one single character can then train all the useful alt skills (trade, production, research) that the alts would usually get trained for.
That means...more trade orders possible - more research agents - more research jobs - more production jobs - more contracts....instead of having the same number of these jobs available on 3 different characters of an account - you have them all available on your ONE MAIN character - no more stupid logging in of alts...
I hope you understood it now?

Hrm...no...
This merging of slots will be an OPTION.
You have one ONE character which can train the beneficial skills of trading/research alts without having to log these in...

*facepalms again* Is my explanation really that bad?
ONE account with ONE character - ONE character which can train all trade skills, all production skills and science skills THREE times - THREE skill trees for those skills.
The same number of any jobs for the account - but not anymore 3 characters but just ONE character with a big neural upgrade implant.

Originally by: Fraszoid Ok so for example maxed trained Mass Production and Advanced Mass Production yields 11 jobs you can run at the same time. You are proposing that you can train those skills to max 3 times allowing 1 person to use 33 slots at once? Same with contracts and trade orders, so you have 33 contracts and massive numbers of market orders on 1 character, correct?
Correct

Go trolling in general discussion please.
For the people that understood my suggestion - this is meant to be OPTIONAL - so if you want 3 characters on an account to do trading in different hubs, I don't suggest that you can't anymore ;)

You don't train them to 15, they do not stack - you have to train them to 5 for the second tree skill to have the advantages for the additonal jobs of the second skill tree and you have to train them to 5 for the third skill tree to have the advantages for the jobs of the third skill tree.
Skills like Engineering, Spaceship command, Gunnery, etc. won't be available - only trade, industry and science skills which many people usually use an alt for.

Yes! You got the idea \o/ *happy for a second*
I'd go for it on my main account for sure...and I'm pretty sure quite a few people would as well... And as for trading and price checks...it's meant to be an option - not a must - so you can keep all your alts if you want to...

Adding new slots with new skills would make CCP lose income cause a lot less alts would be used....my suggestion keeps CCP income steady while making the game experience much nicer...

Well, personally i feel alts should be forbidden alltogether...but I'll stay with this less extreme stance :S

I'd still like a dev comment if it was possible to code the account management in a way so that you can transfer the trade, build and research slots of multiple characters or even accounts to a single character... |

I really don't know if I find it interesting or sad how many people didn't even understand or tried to understand what I was suggesting. |
