I saw one of the Angels post something like this in a thread but can't find it now, so here's a quick tutorial I made for a new player because I've seen this asked a few times already (Feel free to copy & paste then make a better one. Also I have no idea if this will change with the April 2015 update) :
When you start up DSLauncher this is what you see - http://i.imgur.com/Jof5sPO.jpg
Highlighted in red is where you switch between game parameters and accounts. When you click on "My Accounts" you'll see a little menu drop down with which you can do stuff like edit existing or create new accounts - http://i.imgur.com/yW15SFq.jpg
To create a new account give it a name and description then click on "Generate" to create a code and signature for the new account - http://i.imgur.com/LHA1qUO.jpg
Now you have another account, allowing you to have another 5 ships. To move a ship to another account, first set a move code.
To set a code for it, log in with the ship you want to move then type : /set movecharcode <code>
You should see a message on screen if successful. Moving a ship costs 2mil credits.
To switch between accounts just double click on one - http://i.imgur.com/yW15SFq.jpg
On the bottom left you'll see "Current Account" which shows what account you'll start the game with.
Now that the ship has a move code log in with the other account and create a new ship (the name is not important as you'll delete the ship within a minute or 2).
As soon as you're in game type : /movechar <name> <code>
You will then be kicked from the game so the account can update - that's normal. Wait a bit then log back in. Your ship should now be on the new account. This is also how you transfer ships you bought from other players.
When you have multiple accounts and ships it's a good idea to back them up - http://i.imgur.com/rZJR2rX.jpg
Your save files are in your computer's registry so you have export them as a .xml file. As shown above, on the bottom left of the launcher you'll see a little menu for it. It's easy to use. You can also import your accounts to another computer this way.
