In a game where
- traders do nothing but WAIT be it either to arrive or wait for the miner to finish 90% of the time they spend online
- it's said that we need more trade ships to keep the trade-pirate-lawful cycle alive
- busily multiboxing 2-4 traders simultaneously makes it harder to metagame the playerlist to avoid pirates, making pirate encounters even more likely
- traders are not defendable against pirates by combat ships, especially when they're not moving because their pilot is trying to defend it with a multiboxed battleship
- interactions are so rare that flying several ships at a time will likely give more interactions instead of "busy on my other ship" kind of ignores
Is multiboxing really THAT harmful?
Could it even be beneficial with the low population that we currently have, possibly by making only certain aspects of it against rules?
What is the worst possible abuse of multiboxing everyone can think of right now?
