Contract the items and money from one character to the other. If the characters are on different accounts and you're logged in to both, you can use the trade option if both characters are docked at the same station. Just giving money can always be done by rightclicking the character-name and choosing the "Give money" option. When giving things to other people, the same methods are available. For items, contracting is the easiest since both people don't have to be online and at the same station. For money, the Give Money option is easiest. |

You're also limited to either the trial account or the paid account running at one time on the same PC (you can have multiple paid accounts running, but soon as you want to throw a trial into the mix, it's one or the other). One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

If I contract a ship or a batch of minerals to my alt, he still has to pick them up at the station I contracted them from. |

You can use secure containers to transfer items with a trial account. It takes about 10 minutes to train Anchoring 1 on either account. Remember to "Launch for self" and anchor before setting a password on the container. |

Don't you still have to use contracts (or station trading, if you're giving it to another-player or different-account alt) to pass the bookmark to the other character anyhow? I suppose you could just do it off-grid by some celestial object or even on-grid, but that runs the risk of someone feeling bored and running around zapping containers. Unless they made it significantly harder to do that since the last time I had occasion to suicide-clean the clutter. |

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar. |

Warp to any celestial and anchor. [It is finished anchoring when the menu option changes to unanchor.] Even next to a station is possible, just have to be 100 km away, and in a 0.7 security system or lower. EDIT: To test, I warped to planet 1, and there was already a container anchored there, laf. Moved 5 km from it an anchored my own. |

No need really, as secure containers are password protected. Though again, make sure to set the password AFTER anchoring has completed. This is extremely important, and easy to forget, so I keep repeating it. |
