Family =/= multiboxing - Skyelius - 05-22-2021
Question to those in green:
Can you clearly see the difference between people residing in the same house and playing FL in the same/similar IP vs. illegal multiboxers?
My old man asked me about FL and if we could play that, but I don't want us to become martyrs needlessly:
5.5 - Connecting to the server with more than one character at a time (Multiboxing).
It's not multiboxing if it's different people in different computers, as family play should be, so can you tell the difference from network logs?

There are cases of family members playing like that. As long as you prove you really both exist and both playing its fine

old rule stated:
5.5 Connecting to the server with more than one character at a time (Multiboxing). Players who share a network connection and play together must not engage in trading/mining while doing so.
guess it how its still applied by admins?

More than 1 person playing from the same IP is fine.
If you are flying together, then the best way not to come under the microscope is to not fly in 'Formation' everywhere you go, If you both enter the Trade Lane separately, then it tends to suggest that individuals are flying the ships.
If you are in 'Formation' every where you go, ie both jump through a Jump Gate, then one forms up on the other before they move, then it suggests that 1 person is controlling both ships. Also, when greeted, one ship replies and the other stays mute, suggests that it is one person. Two separate responses at the same time also doesn't give the impression of multi-boxing.

My Dad and I played on Disco for years. We would deliberately use different IFF/ID ships, and ran different routes to be sure. We did come a cropper early on as we were both finishing off a POB in Texas carting Hull Segments to it. However, I don't think that was regarded trading per se, but we decided to avoid even that combined effort. One would do the local supply run and the other went and got the distance commodities.

Back when I started first, I did so with my cousin, who for some reason liked Kusari very much. We would trade together usually but I would run a more combat capable ship to double as an escort. So it is definitely possible to play with family.
Then he stopped playing once we bought a Hegemon because he hated mining.
