Lets get real here for a second.
Alts have their good parts, such as tanking, while your main mines out asteroids.
This is due to the fact that mining ships can not properly tank while mining without having to spend enormous amount of isk
for officer and faction fits. So one would bring in their alt with a T1 ship specifically fitted to tank the rats.

Another form of use for Alts is for camera view of a certain system in your alliance.
60-200 reds show up in system, its good to have an eye on the station, so one would know whats going on.
People do this all the time, so its not breaking news to anyone.

I for sure wish that CCP would include actual Robot Camera, that alliances can use (on their own systems)
Planetary already lets us get them, why not actually manufacture them and use them.?
Maybe have a timer of use for them, like 1 hour eve time max, then they self destruct.
Some and possibly many might hate me for it.....lolz

Also to mention, If CCP seriously wanted to get more real players into the game, they seriously need to drop their
monthly subscriptions way down. people have real life things to pay for. spending this amount of current monthly subscription costs forces people to take large breaks from playing eve, such as myself.

$5. a month would bring thousands of new players into Eve Online. (Actual Real Players) not Alts.
Eve Online subscribers would go from its current numbers to a wopping 500-k over night, if not more....

I say this because there are many people who have real life matters to attend to than dishing out the current rates of subscription cost to some gaming company. I love EvE, but after I have been through the NYC Sandy Hurricane and almost
losing my house, and have over $80,000 dollars of repair cost for the house and set it back to its
proper location on the foundation.
My house shifted 2 feet off the foundation, and water flooded all the way up to

the cieling of the second floor of my home.
Eve is getting expensive for me., but its my outlet. Thats the reality that CCP has to view and face.
The only reason why people are jumping to these "Power Of Two" and "Buddy" programs they have going on,
is the actual fact that people are trying to find affordable ways to play this game.
Permanently Lowering the monthly subscription cost, WILL solve most of these issues when CCP says::
(We cant find or get new players in our game).....
