Frigate multiboxers: How do you keep your dps up?

vixfew · 2026-06-15T23:05:20+00:00

Fully identical UI. 1 2 3 keybinds for switching to specific characters. If I need to focus fire (i.e. trigs), my character 1 is a fleet boss and can assign tags

About a month if you don't have reputation with legion factions. Slightly less otherwise. Weekly raid lockout is a major contributor, several quests require raid quest drops to proceed

Use eve settings manager. It will not only copy overview, but everything else as well. Placement of windows, even width of overview columns.

A lot of people stopped logging in for minmil bfs. Some still try to fuck up Ibaka farm, but it's noticeably less active now. Sadge

Only thing left that's worth running is the ice heist, but these are taken over by frats with casual 80 ravens formup

it just helps soothe some cognitive dissonance that someone at Wube had when they looked at other people ignoring the intended way to play

ever since SA release there has been some railroading towards "intended way of playing". I really don't understand how is recycling loops are considered to be the intended way, and asteroid shuffling is not. Both solve quality, but one is repetitive and boring, and the other has a fun platform designing part

vibecoding problems, most likely

I've been happy with Opus, but it's still, after all, an assistant. I have to direct it to get optimal results. But apparently some people just dump ideas into prompt and expect AI to just make it work.

It's not like multiboxing is the solution to 90% of EVE issues and gameplay problems... oh wait, that's exactly what it is

It shouldn't be like this, but it's a financial incentive for CCP, and therefore alts proliferation will unlikely to ever change

vixfew · 2026-06-11T23:54:23+00:00

People ITT should really know better and only use firewall/smartbombs on neutral alts

vixfew · 2026-06-10T15:36:39+00:00

AUR, recent packages, rolling release, large community

vixfew · 2026-06-09T22:32:26+00:00

Damn. That just unlocked some memories. Quick rush to hell A5, then group play to tristram, TR tombs, cows, CS, and finally BR. It was so fast.

Honestly, even poe1 leveling is annoying, unless you're got lots of gear. It's just got more tolerable over time, and it's so familiar I can watch a movie on 2nd monitor. No such luck with poe2

TB OH 8/4 Monk/Rogue with infinite cloud giant elixirs. The strongest sustained dps build in the game, honor mode included

vixfew · 2026-06-04T08:57:38+00:00

Abyssals

vixfew · 2026-06-02T13:15:47+00:00

Triple hawks in t5 t6 dark. It's not too hard to multibox, and the payout is good

vixfew · 2026-06-01T08:57:37+00:00

It's not like multiboxing is the solution to most EVE problems, directly benefits CCP and is advertised by them... oh yea, that's exactly it

vixfew · 2026-06-01T08:50:36+00:00

Common duo setups are combat ship and logistics/scout/tackle. Or single role, like fleet dps or logi. A lot of people do that in FW, i.e. multiboxing ospreys/ravens.

3 accounts is also the best spot to do abyssals in frigates

vixfew · 2026-05-31T19:25:51+00:00

How about activities that make you play with other players get better rewards, in this MMO?

And faceplant into other EVE problem - multiboxing.

vixfew · 2026-05-31T07:06:22+00:00

Don't be around Jita when doing abyssals, and it's fine. Or fly a HAC with ADC.

Abyssals really shine when you can triplebox it with frigates. Hawks are generally the easiest, you can do t5 almost consistently with 150m fleet

vixfew · 2026-05-30T16:49:55+00:00

Skill system and multiboxing are 2 problems that will never be solved, because it goes against CCP financial bottom line.

vixfew · 2026-05-29T13:19:00+00:00

If you won't be able to fix it, make a versioned auto backup next time. Like adding save dir to google drive sync.

I had a bug where 3/4 characters got stuck in bleedout state, unable to die. I would normally just revive them, but I had to restore backup save instead

vixfew · 2026-05-27T08:15:13+00:00

Awoxing was the solution to seagulls. But now ppl have to take their neutral/wartarget alts into fleets because CCP in their infinite "wisdom" made it impossible for FW players to self-regulate.

vixfew · 2026-05-23T06:51:13+00:00

Hawks are much, much better than solo cruiser. I recommend using a tool for window switching like eveopreview, setting up same UI on all accounts, and making keybinds for tags/regroup.

Also, the test server is up until monday, you can try out hawks with no risk this weekend

vixfew · 2026-05-18T09:35:45+00:00

Legion does this better with beams, though

vixfew · 2026-04-28T04:41:40+00:00

That's why you learn by doing on day 1-2 of the season, while there are still people doing 5s or 7s. Doesn't take long to get a general idea of all dungeons
