I'm thinking of starting a new pilot account, mainly to 1) experiment with PSR, 2) min/max my stick controls without have to reset the current config I have now and 3) relive the joy of the cadet bonus.

Uhm... what do I do? In other online games I've played, setting up a "smurf" account was a no-no, and I don't want to do anything that would get me in trouble

Can I run it off the same rig as my current account? Do I need 2 installs?

Shouldn't be a problem. Some RP-ers have alt accounts for IS/Clan. As soon as PSR dropped, people started alt accounts to race to Tier 1 (really).

Multiple accounts is perfectly fine and allowed. You can't really affect one account from the other, like you can't trade gold or anything.

You just need to use a different email address.

Edit: It's only a problem if you create a duplicate account in order to inflate posts or votes on the forum or commit other misdeeds like trolling, etc.

Edit2: No, you can use the same PC and installation. Just log in separately at the login screen.

Knock yourself out. I have about four accounts myself. Some I made to test earnings from scratch and some I made just to try out different mechs that I didn't want to bother farming on my main account (cadet bonus). I have a second paid account too (not much but I bought some MC on it to get a hero and stuff!).

Oh and don't use the new accounts to inflate unit coffers with cadet bonus I guess. :ph34r:

Don't forget to complete basic training in the new tutorial, which gives 5M C-Bills for about less than 10 minutes of your time.

Just goes to show we need the ability to Login with one account but have 2 "characters" under that account.
