Thinking about buying a second account for Elite Dangerous – whats the best way to do it?

Hi,

I own the game on steam and I want to buy a second copy so I can have two accounts at once.

On Steam there is a sale. ED + Odyssey is 33 euro together.

On Epic there is a sale. ED is 5.99 euro + odyssey is 34.99 euro

On Frontier store there is no sale. ED is 20 GBP + Odyssey is 30 GBP. 50GBP or 60 euro all together.

I'd like to buy it on Frontiers site so I can easily swap between them in the launcher but that is very expensive.

Steam looks like my best option – from my reading I will need to make a second steam account? Is that the best way? Could I possibly do something like buy it as a gift on steam and activate it on the frontier account?

The Epic version needs to be run from the Epic launcher, so it sounds like I will have to redownload the game and run an entire seperate instance with all my controls lost so I don't really want to do that.

Just wondering how have others done it?
