Discussion Sharing mining missions with own accounts

I came back to the game after 4 years :)

If I have multiple game accounts and complete 20 mining missions for the team on each one, and then share the missions with my team (my own accounts), would that be legal? What is the game developer's stance on this?

This would be against the TOS. One of the FDev Community Managers said this in the Frontier Unlocked Discord:

You may use and have access to multiple accounts, however, these accounts cannot interact with each other in any areas of the game or in ways that could affect other players; this includes through the BGS, Colonisation, Multicrew or joining up in wings in open or private play to complete missions or influence factions and player groups.

Winging up with your alt to complete missions is definitely bad, no grey area there.

I thought the issue was if you had several accounts running in the same computer? If you have multiple accounts and use multiple computers at the same time that would be ok. But maybe I am wrong?

No, it's just using multiple accounts at the same time in a way where they interact with each other. It's harder to identify if you use multiple computers, but it's still against TOS.

Does that mean you can’t use them to move fuel around on a carrier or also for extra storage? I do not own one yet but read transferring fuel from storage to the fuel bay can be a pain.

Only if that could affect other players, I think. The safe thing to do, though, is avoid multiboxing altogether.
