right I keep(or should i say kept haha i find it funny mining got turned off) catching miners using two usernames on one comp or using to differnt comps to transfer there ore(from miner to hauler without using a second player)...but isnt this agasint the rules as its one player using 2 accounts thus in busy times(when this normaly happerns...) blocking others people from joining which inturn lowers possible rp and most of all fun for people...
can provide evidance of this...would like to see those powerminers loose all there money...would make me laugh actuly muhahaha im a evil old git but a fair one...who wants everyone to have a good time without breaking the rules...:P
If I decoded your very good example of stream of consciousness style of writing correctly, then this is my reply:
The admins have gone over this over and over again. Multiboxing (using more than one instance of freelancer per person) is allowed only on off-peak times for transferring EQUIPMENT only. Anything else is not permitted.

yeah sorry about the long paragraph i just finnished a 13hour shift at work :/
ahh alright but even that can be done solo for example
go to a station thats rarly used(suffolk for example) drop the equipment wait 10seconds dock or till sheilds are backup, change chars, undock with new char beem up...works 100% as i do this with ore,cau8's and sheilds etc

Yeah and someone pops by,and steals it all. Or if it takes you a little longer to get back in it just vanishes. Many people have lost stuff this way,and that is why "years" ago before you it was said to be ok if server is less then half full. We also did not have the /givecash command so people did this to transfer cash as having someone "hold" cash for u ended up with sanction reports cause they ran away with it.

well if the chars are on the same account it wont vanish...and ive played since release date and well its been ok since then
As far as I gathered from that thread:
- If you're transferring equipment (as in, items that can be equipped on your ship), it's fine to actively log into two characters at once to transfer that, as long as the server population is below ~160.
- Logging out of one account and logging back into another is fine. Note that from the perspective of a 3rd person, you'll see both ships there at the same time, so while it may look like they're logged on both at the same time, they're not. FLHook just keeps the ship logged in for a minute or so after the player F1s out.

As has been said many times - since dead drops in space are NOT safe, because stuff CAN and DOES vanish at times... If the server load is nowhere near full (somewhere in the 150ish range, you can log onto two different accounts with two different computers for the purpose of transferring equipment. On the GC server, you may not play two ships at the same time that are completing trade routes, or having one doing mining while the other goes off and hauls the cargo.
Other servers have other rules regarding this - which is how I made my starting money on DUSA, but that's under THEIR rules, not OURS here.

Yea, if you have to transfer some equipment (especially some expensive ones like CAUs, Codes, cheetah thrusters etc) it's ok to log in quickly 2 account having both ships already somewhere close to each others and do the transfer without harming anything. But trading with 2 ships at once is just hillarious, from another point of view pirate will just get double cargo >:]

i like your thinking >:] but sadly they do it mainly at the essex so we will have to wait pretty close or do a secret attack...which will be hard as everyone knows Miranda Lambert is a pirate...and those who dont well they probs only have 1 brain cell that keeps saying mine gold ore...mine gold ore over and over....
anyway back on topic ....admins you gorgeous humans can you make this clear that transfering the ore is agasint the rules(for reasons stated in prevoius posts) as its rather annoying and ruins rp for the server:(which i do love...and hope to enforce it one day:D

Why would transfering of Ore be against the rules and how exactly it ruins RP? I have 2 different chars in Kruger|, and I always transfer ore with two PC's.
Chars inrp are father and son and it sure does fits RP for them to do then transfer with their own ships.
It takes only like 10,20 seconds to do the transfer so I fail to see how it is different from transfering equipment which takes the same time.
Also it is hard to believe that some extraordinarily RP would happen exactly in those 15 seconds, and that those who do those transfers are the one that ruined that RP.
I have been told by few admins that it is allowed and not against the rules as long as you are not making any double profit by flying 2 transports in formation, and do the transfer quickly without leaving chars on slot saving.
Also I wonder how exactly is that annoying to you? How do you know who is doing it, and in what possible way it can annoy you? Maybe because it stops you from stealing ore left in space while they are changing chars, heh so in reality it's not ruining server's rp, it just ruins your attempts to steal ore:Dwhere rules can't help you.:)
