For transfers it should be alright. But double-train profits shouldn't be allowed.

I had a buddy here that ran 4 trains at once. It was very fun pirateing him. Not out of the question to demand 20 mil heh heh. He quit disco a while back though. It was in 4.83.
As far as I know it is illegal to run more then one at once now. I am sure an admin said somewhere that transferes where ok though.

' Wrote:four CSVsThat was them, I wasn't going to point the finger but fair play for coming out clean on this. I thought that Xeno might have been commenting on your formation, it certainly caught my eye. At first, I thought you were four different people when seeing you on the database, I was wondering how you know who is who.

Yes i remember this came up awhile back. Admin said ok for transfer's, when traffic is low, but if he found them trading they would both be perma banned. I will try to find it if i have time.

Lol--it is actually pretty confusing and I had to set them up carefully just to get them in group. A big pain in the butt. I put a piece of scrap in one so I could tell the one to group on.
Was fun "zooming" Manhattan. The xeno char was in a fully armed eagle and could have downed three of them easily but was so stunned I flew from gate and docked other before they even got their wits. They fired a CD just as the gate lane launched us--whew! When I hit Texas, I logged them off with no other characters near.
As I said, you will see them solo from now on or with separate pilots.

And what about trade & cover the route ?
i mean ...
a trader char using the diamond/niobium route and covering Sigma13 (the most sensible point of this route) with an other to avoid being taxed or stopped

I'm not sure what you mean. Either that is having two characters controlled at once with one being a trader and the other being a fighter, or you're talking about re-logging to a different character in the same system when a pirate is active.
Well, the first would be covered by whatever the rule is for controlling more than one character at once, probably a no-go, whilst I doubt the other would be against any rules but would most likely be frowned upon by many.

You are not allowed to use two characters or more online, unless you are transferring safely.
Do NOT try and pilot a combat craft to defend your trader, or use a large ship to kill pirates before your trader swings passed. This is not an RTS, so we don't need to be controlling multiple units at once...

However--seeing a flight of ten Xeno starfliers in tight formation would be pretty funny.

aaah yes... Vova aka Space Mushroom used to do trading like that in 4.83... he used the cash to finance a faction of all battleships...
the UOG...
easiest way is to use multiple windows user accounts, and switch between them. you can have quite a few copies of FL running that way.
I do seem to remember something about it being banned, perhaps because it took up more player slots. I can't find the exact thread.
