I recently concluded that I want more than one character in the game, something for which there's no mechanic. I do have a second account. However, ships belong to a specific account, and there are no features for moving items between them other than the Gift System, which comes with restrictions that prevent me from shifting the ships I want to move. Moreover, after they've been gifted once, I wouldn't be able to move them back if I decided to stick to my primary account. The ships would be permanently stuck where they were moved.
Given that there's no game mechanic to assist me, you only have a single character associated with an account; I'll have to be creative.
I came up with the idea to use the recently introduced localized inventory system. I'll shift the ships, outfits, and accessories related to Bounty Hunting and Mining to MicroTech's Port Tressler. Even though I seem to encounter more space combat missions in Hurston, that may be due to having more reputation and therefore more quests in general in that vicinity. Tressler is more for mining on celestials that have the minerals that were profitable before the introduction of Quantanium. Due to the volatility, additional mining equipment required, the go-boom timer associated with storing the cargo after extraction, and the possibility of turning into a ball of flames while landing, I don't find mining Quantanium a relaxing experience. I view mining as fishing, making Quantanium the opposite of what I'm looking for. I also prefer to conduct mining operations away from the popular Arial to ARC-L1 corridor to reduce pirating encounters. At the moment, the risk is minimal with low server populations but that won't always be the case. I choose to operate today for the expected level of threat in the future.
