It should not be an incentive to them learn how to play it right and leave the newbie status?

How to play right is to take the venture to a wormhole and make massive steaming piles of cash. Suggesting the only way to get ISK is to buy PLEX just demonstrates your own incompetence.

Honestly, this is the only advice I could give in good conscience.

Been thinking about making an Alpha account just to try out the NPE. I biomassed one of my PI toons for a free slot, but was sorely disappointed after I rudely found out that the new storyline is only for new accounts...blargh.

Still, the new toon is cool, and sure to be put to a good use.

So, any advice on which race to make for Alpha, assuming I want to murde.... er... meet friends and have fun?
Thinking about going actual PVP route so maybe FW or wormholing? (sorry CODE.)

Actually, it would be kind of cool to do Alpha Roams just for funzies.

By steps:

As omega noob:

option 1:

- train connections 2
- run level 4 missions
- meanwhile train for incursions ship fit
- run incursions non stop mindlessly become one of the richest in the game in a few days

option 2:

- get a gas harvesting venture tech 1 harvesters and go get gas in wormholes
- meanwhile train tech 2 gas harvester (yes its that important)
- meanwhile (after tech 2 gas harvester) train for incursion ship fit
- run incursions non stop mindlessly and become one of the richest in the game in a few days


As alpha noob:

option 1:

- get a gas harvesting venture tech 1 harvesters and go get gas in wormholes non stop

option 2:

- get an exploration frigate and go hack relic and data sites in wormholes

option 3 (no so viable):

- gank people with a friend and pray for good drops


There you have it, eve.

I'd personally go either Gallente for the that sweet sweet Tristan and Catalyst or else Minamatar for the Breacher and Thrasher. That's just personal pref.

Prostitution, slavery and theft.
These are your options.

Good luck friends.

Hmmm. Haven't flown a Tristan since it sported missiles, and I do love me some drones.
Ohh! Algos, too.

'K, Solved.

Thanks!

Take your venture to tama. Don't enter tama from the highsec gate though.

Go to the small and novice plexes and scoop loot from dead players. No one seems to loot in tama.

You can scoot your loot to the station there and have black frog ship it to a trade hub, or bring it out yourself in very small loads.
Don't use a transport ship.

I made over 500mil in just a few hours there.

Just for the love of God,
Don't enter tama through the highsec gate!

Also,
If going the black frog rout, don't ship until you have a billion in loot saved up and 250 mil in your wallet

Instead of PLEXing for 1.2 bil or whatever, seems buying skill injectors for half the cost would be a good option? Play for free and still get the skills you want when you need/want them.

There is no way to get injectors half off. I don't follow

1/2 the cost of a PLEX

But alphas are restricted in which skills they can get, so buying injectors doesn't really do much. You still have to sub/PLEX to get the good skills.
