Flying Solo In EVE: Decisions About Alts

Real life and news about other games delayed composing my regular EVE Online post until the end of the week.

Last week's ACU from EVE-Offline.net

Last week the daily peaks of logged in accounts fell although the weekly average line stayed at 24,000, plus or minus 500 accounts. I'm beginning to wonder if the devs will release something new in the second half of the month. After all, the C-Suite at Pearl Abyss made promises to investors CCP Games needs to keep.

Latest global PLEX market chart

Looking at the global PLEX market one can see that a uptick in the price of PLEX began last week. The price started to trend slowly upwards until last Sunday when momentum picked up. Next week I'll be interested to see if the trend continues through the weekend.

Over the next couple of weeks I'll have a decision to make: continue levelling the current alt I'm working on or switch to an alt on my other account. I already have 3 months of multiple character training sitting on my other account, but I have three skills, Amarr Drone Specialization IV, Caldari Drone Specialization IV and Minmatar Drone Specialization IV, in my alt's queue that won't finish before the training time ends.

This is where the AIR Daily Rewards comes into play. Since I only need about 7 days of training to finish up, I can continue logging in a few minutes a day on that alt to finish up while starting a training program on another alt. After doing a little research I might either set up training a new alt in the Ani constellation with my main industrial/market alt or fly a few jumps over and start running Gallente missions. I just have to figure out how much I want to dive into the world of Sisters of EVE loyalty points.

I know I need to make a decision sometime soon. I have to admit having an alt that specializes in Sisters ships is intriguing. A few years ago I considered specializing in selling Sisters ships and items. Perhaps now is the time to do it.
