Instead of another hauler, they could be multiboxing a scout ship, they would send it ahead of the transport, and if they spot you waiting at the lane, they would let you have your way with the scout ship while they're moving the transport away from your scanner range. What then?
In the same way a pirate could have several alts sitting around waiting for traders to pass by in different locations.
It would also be more credit/time efficient to multibox 2 traders instead of 1 trader 1 scout imo. More multiboxed traders = more targets for pirates.
There are also some nice applications for docking modules, offering people the chance to switch ships, and bring along a choice of repair ship, fighter, or bomber. Carriers would need to get more docking modules than they have now, which I hope they will get.
I wouldnt keep it illegal for tracked tags either. It's not like activity requirements are that difficult to meet, or like we really want factions to become unofficial atm. Making tracked tag multiboxing illegal would just move player's activity from official to indy chars, which wouldnt really be a good thing.
