I used to use my "main" as a pure PVP char (no industrial skills at all), he's at around 45mil sp now. Flies almost all minmatar (primarily), caldari, gallente. But now I just run missions basically.
My alt is sort of the opposite. Also at around 45mil sp, but 500sp in guns, 0sp in missiles. A load of points in mining, industry, science. Primarily flies logistics (logis, hauler/freghter, orca, hulk, carrier, support battleship in missions). She also manufactures/researches stuff. She's gallente.

Edited by: Ay Liz on 20/06/2011 13:12:56 I do mostly exploration when i don't shoot people so my alt has very good scanning skills, can fly logistics to help with harder complexes and also fly a tengu to bring DPS if needed.
I would suggest something that helps your main in the beginning. If you run missions, getting an alt in a Noctis would be a good start i guess. If you mine a lot the obvious choice would be to get an alt in a hauler.

My first alt was for science/industry stuff. A few months later I made another as a dedicated carrier/dread pilot... and it sort of went downhill from there.

My first alt account was for pvp/wormholes char, with a research alt added in later. Another is a cap pvp char with a freighter alt, and the 4th has a scanny alt as well as orca/freigher/industry char.

Originally by: Bhealla Pava What do you use your alt. character/account for?
For not existing. I've tried having alts twice, and it always came down to me not wanting to multitask, tab switch, pay more.

To specialize in some field, science, industry, pvp, etc.
Some just use an alt to train a 2nd character the pay to have it brought back to their main account and don't use them side by side.
It really depends on what you are doing, plan to do, and what you want to use the alt for. I'd recommend not getting an alt until you have a solid idea of what you want your main to do and what you'd want your alt to do and are sure the 2nd account will 'add' to your enjoyment of the game. If in doubt don't do it, or at least wait for a power of two promotion, comes around fall IIRC, where you get 6months on a new account for a reduced price.
First and foremost play and enjoy the game as you learn more about mechanics etc, when/if you find you could benefit from an alt look into it.

Because you guys obsoleted dreads and made carriers useless in blob warefare?

My latest alt is because I wanted to try that New Player Experience all over again.
You know, that experience of getting angry because you don't have enough skills, that experience of feeling like you can't do anything, and that experience of
I'm tired, I should go back to sleep. Damn doctor's appointment at 10 AM
There were dragons here, but the sleep deprivation scared them away. ---

PvP, PvE, mainly capital ships.. The extra +2 alt slots on each account make good pvp/market scouts. Seriously this game would had more substance if it was only 1 char per account..

I have a scouting alt for travelling wherever I like with reasonable safety and scanning stuff down. I really don't understand how people can have more than 2 accounts though, my computer is reasonably high end and it starts puffing and wheezing even with only 2 clients running.

my lastest alt was to recreate an old scout that i liked, but had to delete due to missing place one year ago.
the obvious answers for a new player would be : * having a scout (for low / null/ wh / wardec) * having another char for missions (or whatever you do) * having a hauler / salvager usable while your main do his stuff * having an eye on another region's market

My 2nd account is for tactically obliterating asteroids. And if you're reading this, you've fallen into a signature trap. You owe me 1m ISK. |

Im glad people play alts - its more more subs which support the game.
Although I think anyone who plays EVE in such a way that they need an alt is a sucker.

It's not so much a "need." It's a more a lust for power, control and increased wealth. And if you're reading this, you've fallen into a signature trap. You owe me 1m ISK. |
