Multi-box PvP

[Primeja]

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question as I've looked around the forums. If so would a mod please kindly move my topic? Thanks.

I have 5 accounts that I want to multi-box PvP in even if I fail. I have a legal program that lets me be able to command all 4 fairly well since I'm the one making all of the commands and it's not automated. My 5th account on my laptop is used as a Cov Ops Recon for my small fleet.

The ships in the fleet should all be the same ship/role because I will have a much easier time multi-boxing. It would be very hard to manage a kite fleet by yourself and not get boned if the targets catch up so I'm looking at brawlers. The cost of the fleet shouldn't exceed around 150m ISK because I want to easily replace them if I lose one, two, or all of them. Obviously I would want to be successful in the end but what ships would be cost effective in a gang of 4 that would synergize well with each other pretty well? I've been looking a lot at the Ishkur(9-10k ehp each, with 300 defense efficiency sustained remote reps, 1k dps total w/ drones) and somewhat at the Thorax(buffer+gank, no remote reps) a lot for this role.

I have a few setups of ships in mind... in theory it works but how to make it work in practice? I'm open to ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

this will end well ...

lol oh yeah, I could also fly 4x Stealth Bombers if I have a tackler instead of a recon ship and fit probes on the bombers instead.

1 character: covops warp-in guy
4 characters: gank catalysts.

Go fuck up some level 5 mission runners or something for isboxer practice.

[Primeja]

Wow that was -sooo- obvious but I totally missed that. And yes I do use ISBoxer. I'm definitely going to do that for warm-ups before I do anything else, thanks a lot! Any other ideas?

[Sponk]

Artillery Tornadoes/tach Oracles would probably work, since if they tackled you're fucked regardless of whether you're multiboxing or not, and they have decent range.

Could probably roll with a Rapier/Arazu to hold point.

Nobody said drakes yet?

[Primeja]

4x Drakes would probably put it over the 150m budget that I want to not break. The fleet should be cost effective.

[Daneel Trevize]

Because insurance doesn't exist?

4x Drakes would probably put it over the 150m budget that I want to not break. The fleet should be cost effective.

150m risked, or 150m total?

I've never tried (or been able to as I am extremely limited by hardware) to box more than 4 accounts at once, and those were all supercaps (aka very easy to multibox).

That said, for subcap pvp, I would personally take your covops/recon char and make it a cloaky/unprobeable/probing/bubble proof t3 booster. Much more effective, and it's never really risked, so no worries about the isk cost.

For quad boxing ships, there isn't much you can do for that cheap, however if I wanted a lulz fleet, I would do something like this.

circlejerk 3 of those (or micromanage reps if you want) for dps, then roll something very buffered or w/e for tackling, and assist drones to that.

When you're ready to stop being cheap/practicing, then I suggest you follow this path.

Vexors --> Dominix --> t3s (tengus, proteii) --> carriers --> rapiers/tracking dreads.

Those are the easiest to multibox. If you get really good at it just run semi decent standard gang comps (curse + arazu + rapier + bomber) etc etc.

[Primeja]

I meant total, sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm trying to limit the ISK because I haven't tried multi-boxing in a pvp environment and I'm still practicing so I don't mess up when I'm handling larger or more expensive ships.

And yes I do plan to eventually get my support/recon character to go into a Loki w/ a booster fit. I have a lot of the leadership skills already.

That vexor set up looks really good I'm adding that to my possible set-ups. That set up actually looks a very easy to run.

"Vexors --> Dominix --> t3s (tengus, proteii) --> carriers --> rapiers/tracking dreads." Man it starts getting expensive fast but I can see the logic behind that and how those ships would synergize VERY well with each other as logis as well as being easy to multi-box.

Four thoraxes, covops makes a WTZ

[cillisia]

High alpha ships would be most amusing such as the tornados already suggested. Your alpha strikes would all be perfectly timed :-)

You had Supercaps?

You can cherry pick sentences and rehash old unfunny trolls?

[Takon Orlani]

I've done as many as three accounts at once, one logistic and two damage.

[Brullig]

I've done as many as two accounts at once, one at a safe waiting for the Blue Republic fleet to gather up and one bloodying the waters of the Jita station market.

+rep for mixing up the types of pvp. I've never tried to do multiple kinds AT THE SAME TIME /o\ (would prob blow my mind, Im p. shite at market stuff - thats ghost's/justin's domain)
