that will mean I have 3 gallente characters

I am all of teh French!

how long to train a freighter pilot? I may take time off Bomber to do it on my main's account, or possibly train it on the alt account and transfer .. or something....

Assuming you have learning skills worked out OK, it'll take about a month for Gallente Industrial 5, a week for Spaceship Command 5, plus a couple of hours to get Advanced Spaceship Command and Freighter to 1. Although I'd train up Advanced Spaceship to 4, as well as Evasive maneuvering (takes less time to align that way, so you're less bored).

so about 6 weeks, 8 if I need to buff learning skills first. hmmm

repeat after me my new mantra; you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account, you do not need a third account,
