Proposal
Either make it an account check, instead of a player check, or make an admin list for the harvesters.
Justification
We have two characters for a reason, there is no reason why our alts shouldn't be able to go check our harvs. I can understand concerns about people adding their entire guild to a harvester, so I'd be fine with some form of limit that would only let you add your actual alt.
Motivation
Tired of having to pull one char out of what they are doing when the other is free and could go check it.
Sometimes you need to check your harvs with an alt. Maybe it's because the owner is somewhere else, maybe it's because there is now a nest of nasties around the harv and ya need to send in your combat char. Whatever the reason, you should be able to add your alt to harvester admin so they can check it. Perhaps even with a limit that you can only add the alt from your account (to keep cartels from forming haha), or make it an account check instead of a player check. Either way, you should be able to check and retrieve from your harvester with your alt.

Other than approved household accounts like husband and wife - that are verified by staff - R3 does only allow one account per IP address. So this is already covered and your vote will now change

Ah i knew I read this somewhere, I thought it was on swl legends website, but no, it was from R3, you are correct -

"Every individual is allowed one account. Each account has two character slots by default. A third character slot can be unlocked by completing the Ridith DNA Collection. A fouth character slot is opened by unlocking Jedi. An account can have a maximum of four characters and can login a maximum of two characters simultaneously. "

I also forgot you could have 2 character on the same account logged in simultaniously, though Im not sure how...

I would even say to allow all the characters of the same account, to have access and to be able to place, directly to all the building of the account, with all the rights. at least no worries!
 
Having all characters on your account auto admin to your harvesters is a very nice QOL change that provides more efficient and effective harvesting. If I drop 15 heavies on Lok. Having to drive both toons 8km away instead of just one is a hassle that can be avoided.

You could always hire another player to clear out the nasty critters for you..... I means, thats how it used to be done in the old days. This technically is still an MMO.

I'll just drop this here.......

/setpermission admin [player' s first name] with the harvester targeted.

/macro hvup;
/setpermission admin character2;
/setpermission admin character3;
/setpermission admin character4;

can't think of the /commands for /add power amount & /add maintenance amount commands but had those in my harvester setup macro/alias.

Just started. I don't have the ability to test yet. Couple things, you have to be in range of the radial menu and have the harvester targeted for the /commands to work.
 
I will upvote it but on the premise of Aconites point on only allowing the account's access and id rather just have an innate access rather then admin list to constantly add back my toons on it every time i move a harvester since they redeed i assume they also purge the data entry for access lists?

I heartily support this!!

I run a "mining company" in game - Ore Else Mining and while I don't at all mind logging into each character to drop rigs down (I have 22 lots total I use) collecting resources that are still spawned and paying maint/putting in energy becomes a frustrating dance of dual box logging so that I can have one character ride with another to get them taken care of.

It would make life so much easier if I could handle the "tedious" bit of mining with one or two characters.

I do agree that this needs to be account only.
While we have applied for an account for my wife, there is zero need for us to be in each other's harvesters (if she indeed places any).
