| Solo - Easy. I solo a ton, mostly Lvl 3's. I fly a Raven, not quite setup like most others either, I use a full passive tank. I call it the lazy mans mission runner as you turn nothing on, worry about no specific resist and just have to load the right missles and off you go. This is one of the great things in Eve, there is usually more than one way to rig your ship to get the job done.
When I mine I use an second account with some good hauling skills to avoid the ore thieves. I worked my way into a Cov barge and alt uses an Itteron Mark V hauler.
Alts - Only one character at a time can train, keep this in mind. If you want to train up an Alt at the same time as your main, they need to be on their own account. |
