Other types of multi account usage does not apply as it covers the same roles 2x miners is better than one, same as 2x dps bots is better than one that's fine. The DPS+ support role+ewar roles covering all bases for one player is what is broken, its not so much the issue about advantage only, it also deprives other players of a specialized role,as you already have all of specializations covered.
Industry roles: no matter how many you have is not the means to and end, PVP is, having 5 miners won't make you mine any safer on beta.
You really are off quite a bit on a lot of this, I really think this is the place to go in to mad pvp theory's on balance and effectiveness.
Go look at every fight CIR was involved in of 30+vs30+ I bet you I can name the the 3-4 people who account for 3/4th the damage dealt in the entire fight.
You know why you all hate e-war so much? I learned a long time ago it is far more simple to have your peasants sit in a robot and tell them "Lock everything that comes in range, your job is to focus X,Y,Z 2x Suppress each, Stay 200m out of their firing range" *that screen shot of your fleet we got, let me assign specific targets to people ahead of time*
When our fleets finally hit 'dps' range, mine has yours disabled and my 3-5 cold focused killers know to lock and fire in a special format that has us focus firing without ever relying on calling a 'primary'.
We are never held by players finding the enemy in landmarks and then acting.
I am not even kidding when I tell you I have a rule of every 1 DPS HM I had 3 e-war Mech's
Now imagine having my 3-5 killers use isBoxer to force multiply their effectiveness and then have all the peasants handle dedicated remote repair and e-war.
Fun Fact: Every bot below a HM can be 1-2 Shot by a HM when it has 0 Accumulator and is speed fit. How much DPS do you really need?
