Hey friend
I use my alt almost strictly for probing and having eyes on my route back to my wormhole. She can also fly an auto fire missile orthrus. Her “gameplay” is fairly afk. I just tab over and move probes and scan while I do the real game on my main. She kicks my main into pvp situations and does a lot of the thankless work. She can fly a decent venture too for some gas huffing.
I think it’s pretty worth having an alt! I live in a wormhole full time too so it’s very useful. I don’t really use her for PI or anything too intense. She is 90% of the time in her Anathema or farming escalations
