Before you all leave - can some one please explain the concept of an 'Alt commander' ?
Is it an entirely different account, or just a another ship or ... ?
Hey, don't worry, we're coming back. Well at least I do...
An Alt commander is really a different account with a different email address, etc. so you can do what ever you want because E: D does only allow one save / commander.
I got my first one when my 1st Acc was in Colonia back then when it all started. I've flown out there with a 25 ly mining Python during a CG and it was a blast. Carrying 120 tons of cargo for the CG and 8(!) limpets, because a follow up mining CG to further repair Jaques station was expected and you couldn't buy mining gear over there…
Took me "only" about two weeks to get there…
And to sniff some bubble air I bought a 2nd Acc back then when it was on discount.
Hope this helps ?
