| It is possible to have two accounts on one computer. (If you have multiple monitors, EVEMover is a useful program to manage multiple EVE instances.) One of these can be used as a maxed-out miner, and the second as a hauler. Even new accounts can do this productively. For example, one account could, in two or three weeks, be set up to use a Caldari Osprey with Miner IIs and some Mining Foreman skill. The other, in the same time, could be set up to fly a Badger Mark II (or similar Industrial) and fit a Miner II as well as haul the stuff back to base whenever it is full. This greatly improves the efficiency of mining (4x Miner IIs help a little, but no downtime for hauling helps a lot).
| | If you have two Eve accounts, you can [[multiboxing|multibox]] them (i.e. play them on one computer simultaneously). One of these can mine while the other ones flies a [[Industrial#T1_Industrials|hauler]] to drop the mined ore at a nearby station. The miner transfers the mined ore into a jetcan or a GSC (see above) which is then picked up by the hauler. This way, the miner can mine non-stop, obtaining more ore. Eventually, the hauler character could train towards an [[Orca]] (to provide mining boosts to the miner, further increasing yield), while the miner character is free to train and fly ships like the [[Hulk]], which have very high mining yield but small ore holds. |

| Eventually, one account could move toward an Orca and the other toward a Hulk (or Covetor, etc.). Later, the Orca pilot could also learn Freighters (such as the Charon).

| See the [[Creating an Alt Hauler]] guide for information on creating a hauler alt quickly and easily. Alternatively, see [[Creating an Alt Miner]] for information on how to create an alt to fly the best mining ship in the game quickly and easily. | |
