Curious as to what FD's stance is about using multiple accounts to boost income. I doubt there is anything they could do to stop it. Does anyone use alt accounts in wings for example, to increase payouts? For example, I have a source mission, 19 million to pick some cheap progen cells (just under two T9 loads) That could easily be turned into 57 million for a short trip, unless I am missing something?
Multiple accounts - exploits
- Thread starter 777Driver
- Start date
Alts create more store transactions so it's ok
Yeah, as long the shareholders are happy. It is a minor thing anyway, was just curious if it's something cmdrs actually do.
Its been left alone because its hard to tell a legit wing mission players from those using multi Computers/consoles with multi accounts... due to VPN use..
Lets also not forget ALT accounts are FREE on consoles... only PC accounts require another payment to buy an alt..
And with the free Geforce now client app running on PC or mobile you only need to stream a video feed now and not run two local versions on the same hardware...

Good Lord! Really? I shall have to look into that. Sounds intriguing.
So, the payout for that mission would be 57 million to all 3 commanders? Or 19 million per commander? Because if it's the latter, what is the exploit? Sure, imaginary faction pays out more imaginary credits but it's not as if you can share money between your commanders?
Wing missions duplicate the pay out to every player in the wing...
You can also get TRADE bonus of 5% for EACH players trade so if there are 4 in a wing you get 20% extra from all trading done Even if none of the other accounts even move one LS...
with T-bag and FC alt accounts can transfer that extra pay to the primary account... due to FC markets... the trade bonus work as long as players are in a wing
Am planning on taking my carrier back to the core and Colonia. Am sat in Ceos checking the boards, am seeing missions paying up to 50 mill slightly past Colonia, and plenty of 30 mill missions direct to Colonia, only requiring a few spaces in a business cabin. Those could easily be stacked on multiple accounts in the carrier, no scoops or FSD boosters required on the pax ships. Orion nebula tourist centre offers plenty of economy one way trips, paying 5-7 mill each.
Am basically looking for ways to ship fuel to Colonia, problem is I can only sell 7000 tonnes if I don't want to mine my way home.
So looking at a profit of around 280 million if I am not greedy and sell at 40ish cr/t. The alt accounts could boost that by stckng 30-50 mill credit tourist and passenger runs
Is the Anaconda better for Business/Economy split, or stick to the Beluga?

Yes you can. my PS4 alt is new, it has 250 million credits. You can move credits between accounts using a carrier.
Trade bonus only works at NPC stations not FC but if your selling 500 Million of painite... do the maths you should wing up with some one and give them the bonus using alt accounts in the wing means your insured to get that bonus not strangers..
Do not do combat with it ever...
Only use it for slow activities like trade and FC access...
You need steam account version and read the Small print 1 hour sessions is free... so make sure you park the alt account before 1 hour is up..
Not interested in mining unless it is for relaxation. This is about accepting wing missions, then using any alt accounts to join that wing. Then transferring the alt account bonus to the main account.
I have heard about cmdrs doing it in combat, just never heard about pax/haulage missions. Seems like an obvious way to double/triple/quadruple income.
It all feels like an exploit, but also like an obvious choice if I'm heading out to Colonia without losing credits.
Tritium profit is 280 million, but my fuel cost to ship out there is 410 million. I would need to at least break even, which seems to only be doable through either mining the trit, or stacking these pax missions.... I could sell the trit for 80k a tonne, but that defeats the purpose of offering a good deal to stranded carriers.

Multiboxing is a grey area- the devs know about it but it means a new account so they turn a blind eye.
This is on SO many levels of sleazy. Get back to modding. NOW!I use my alt for one thing and one thing only:
I wouldn't need an alt if Frontier would get off their own pillows and give us tangible NPC crewmates.
Some guy gave me grief because my alt gives me an extra pip (not that I need it because I fly shieldless half the time). So would he be okay if my wife was sitting in front of the laptop that has my alt? I'm sure she'd be happy to do so, though I suspect that's all she would do.
Now if I wasn't playing in VR, I would set up both laptops side-by-side and use my alt's view as a rear-facing camera. That might give me a very slight tactical advantage in combat, though not as much as VR does IMO.
I miss that rear view.
Hey Old Duck, you're younger than I expected!I use my alt for one thing and one thing only:

The problem is transferring credits is impractical without the recipient owning a carrier.
Anyone know an easy way to do this? No i don't trust old duck to lease it to me.
Its a foul idea in general anyway. People for years have been asking for a second save. Frontier even publically acknowledged it during the first few years, but turned around and implied we were supposed to be understanding because of they were kickstarter, and there were more important features to develop. Never happened of course because of the double dipping in cosmetics frontier feature. Of course you're committed to buy a second account, and if so you'll happily be double dipped. Self control is hard
ps. Whats foul is they'll without moral reservation ask someone to pay more than once for the same thing. That is outside of normal politeness, of course.
