Hi Everyone, Is it possible to pilot 2 ships all at once? Example a mining barge and an Industrial Ship together? ---

You’d need 2 accounts and both need to be omega to be able to use those characters at the same time. ---

When they are together in a fleet can one warp all the ships at once. That’s as good as it gets. Since you’ve mentioned a mining barge and an industrial ship… try looking at the Orca. It has a ship maintenance bay, which can hold two barges and you can move them around with the Orca. The Bowhead is then a ship dedicated to moving even larger ships. ---

Piloting more than 1 ship at the same time is called multi-boxing and is perfectly legal as long as you are not using automation to control them. You can run each client in a separate monitor or use software like > [@EVE-O Preview v5.1.0 "Able Actor" (multi-client preview / switcher) \[2021-05-08 \] + limited Linux support](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/eve-o-preview-v4-0-1-quatrus-ii-multi-client-preview-switcher-2018-04-04/4202/): > > The purpose of this tool is to provide a simple way to keep an eye on several simultaneously running EVE Online clients and to easily switch between them.

No! You can warp them at once only. You have to focus a client window to pilot a ship, obviously, by making inactive another client. If taking into consideration that piloting is navigation in space, using the offensive and defensive modules and drone manipulation at least. ---
