It-¦s a game with four races, you can categorize four play styles but there are only three character slots. Yes there are races like the Amarr that nobody likes but seriously, that makes no sense.
Can we please get a fourth slot?
Cheers,

I've often wondered that myself and can only presume that it encourages people to have a second account so that they can try all four races.
further to that I'd like to see a dust slot so that we can have a dust client that launches from the Eve Launcher on the PC/Mac so that we the current eve playerbase can play dust too (Let's be honest we're the only one's interested in it).
We might see more meaningful interaction between the EVE/Dust communities then.

I don't think this is about cross training as such, roleplayers might want an authentic amarr character or one of each race etc. I think every toon is cross trained in something or other in eve.

A DUST client for PC would be great as well and sooner or later they will drop the console idea and bring DUST as a PC exclusive. As far as I know are they already working on something that you can play with one character in both games. |

Question should be: Why are there 3 char slots instead of 1? |

Should be able to make additional characters and simply choose 2 active characters other than the ones that are active due to having an active skill queue. Should be able to alter active characters once a month. Inactive characters cannot be logged into until they are switched to active or you pay a month of subscription on them. Throw in 3 freebie active character swaps that last for a year just so noobs have a chance to figure out the system before condemning themselves.
Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance)

I already get between 1.0 to 1.5 bill a month out of losec PI using the current two alts.
A 4th slot would get me up to 2 bil a month for the cost of one plex to train the fourth character, so I personally am in favour of this suggestion. :D

yeah well PI income needs to be nerfed anyway. And besides, POS fuel is way too expensive.

I predict as they face training AWU 5 for the 3rd time they will lose this pure blood desire. Fill in any other fun support level 5's as you desire here. I know training it and other support skills twice (once for main, once for a cap alt setup) was jsut a load of fun. A load of fun I'd rather not threepeat.
Well that and 2 of the races are already tied together. Know what you get when have a pro mega pilot from the gallente side? A really good caldair hybrid pilot in as fast as you can train ship skills and tweak tank and missile skills. Also worth noting caldari can and will recycle armuor tank skills....they don't got to waste on certain boats. Hell, also worth noting to be a good gallente SB pilot you already have good missile supports in place as well.
Want to role play this....role play a double agent who got so deep in cover they grew attached to the caldari side. Can write novels about how they found a better half, had a famlly and that family went from being the cover for the spy operation to something more meaningful. |

Or people can just stop hiding on alts and stick with their main. It's not like it takes longer to train your main to do something than it does to train an alt except for a few marginal cases on young characters, and even still, your main will probably do it better.

your right, CCP should ban anyoen who dares to sell a unit of PI material for higher than some arbitrary isk-ceiling you determine.
supply/demand, you dont want to pay for PI, your free to make some yourself, the only reason its worth as much as it is is because of 3 things:
1) How much is consumed by the ingame economy (and if you jsut buff the amount you harvest at once, or lower the amount used, people will just increase the need for it on their end with more POS/etc)
2) How few people bother to do PI efficiently / at all
3) people who realilze the demand for PI and encourage an upwards trend in the market
all of these prices are completely centered around the player, thats like saying CCP needs to change the isk/hr of miners, it cant happen because its supply/demand. the only way to change the income is to force others either into or out of the profession. |

yeah no actually PI income fuels alt accounts, giving them well more than enough income to pay for their PLEX to run them. That's bad because it's passive income and easy to do.

If PI generated ISK the way bounties do, you might have a point. As it is, if people are using it to fuel Alt Accounts, then PI is directly creating new paying accounts that would not otherwise exist with absolutely no harm to the game or it's economy with a minimum of additional server loading. That is a win on every side of the table as far as I can see.
Regardless, uses and abuses of Alts aside, I have often wondered at the 3 character limit myself, but never bothered to make even the first alt as anything I would want to do I just train myself to do on my main. I never saw the point in creating a second character for hauling or something, since it would be just as quick and simple to do it on this character. |

exactly my thoughts, the only time i ever had an alt was during my years with SYJ, where i wouldnt see the light of k-space for months at a time. so having a character that could actually do things solo whenever i wanted was kinda necessary to avoid boredom/burnout. though once SYJ kinda fell apart and wormholes exploded with cascading alliances, went back to just playing my main in lowsec/null. |
