Multiple EVE Clients From One Install, on a Mac
61 year ago
For me, this has been the Holy Grail of how I can make my EVE experience on a Mac be the best it possibly can. I have had multiple installs, taking up around 35gb of total hard drive space since I started my fourth account, and I had wondered for a long time if there were a way to run my clients from a single install like using the junction method on Windows.
As mentioned in that Evelopedia article, they suggest two ways of running multiple clients. One is to have multiple installs, like I mentioned I had, and the other is to force OSX to open your single client multiple times through a terminal command.
Option one uses up a lot of hard drive space. Option two can cause potential problems with read/write errors in your preferences.
To that end, I now present you with option three. This is going to be a little long, and maybe a little involved, but overall it is fairly simple.
I Cannot Believe it Was That Easy

I know, cryptic title or something.
Basically I just cleaned up about 30gb worth of EVE Online installs from the HDD of my MacBook, while still retaining the ability to play multiple accounts, having different preferences for each, and not causing the usual read write errors you get when you do a normal open -n to force an additional client to open.
Also, come patch day, there is only ONE client to update.
Full details will come later tonight, when I am not at work, so I can get screenshots and fully detail everything that I did.
I am a little on the giddy side, because this is something I have been wanting to do since I opened a second account.
Paying a Visit to the Neighborhood, Stalled

Yesterday evening, I had decided I wanted to take a spin through the neighborhood and see if I could find some trouble to get into in the lower security systems. I consulted my EVE Strategic Maps, plotted my path, grabbed my Hound, forgoing the Jaguar I purchased yesterday afternoon, set some waypoints and undocked.

At least he was being mildly inventive, although twice in 21 seconds? A little much.
