Was the exploit to set 50 alpha-set skills in training while omega, then lapse to Alpha and have the skills keep training (regardless of 24 hour queue limitations) patched out yet?

'exploit'?

If there is a bug, it may have been fixed. One of my omegas lapsed for a day and training stopped. That was with an Omega skill in the queue though.

Not sure if it would be the same if the skill queue only had alpha skills and not sure that would even be a bug.

It used to be that you had a couple days of training allowed after your account timed out before it sstopped, but that was years ago. Not sure if that still exists.

Once you go Alpha, every Omega skill stops immediately.
I have multiple accounts and the Omegas that lapsed, can only train Alpha skills.

No exploit

and he said nothing about omega skills. he said 50 alpha skills in the queue. what happens when omega turns into alpha?

Well, maybe I was telling him what I wanted to tell him, not what he asked!

You can only train up to 24 hours in Alpha skills, OR, if the skill is longer than 24 hours, you can only train one.

For example, my Alpha is currently training Surgical Strike IV...it's more than 24 hours, something like 4 days etc.
I can train that skill, but I cannot add any other Alpha skills until that skill has less than 24 hours to go.

So all those Alpha skills in the Queue longer than 24 hours, will probably be dropped off.

Use eve-skillplan.net. It will show you when you can add skills to Alphas, when your queue ends etc. Great way to track stuff on your phone.

Haven't seen anything. You can pull up the patch notes yourself, and search for Alpha to see everything related to them.

Not necessarily, hence the OPs question.

Alpha clone state just prevents adding more skills after the 24 hour limit is reached. There is nothing confirmed about deleting skills and there are already cases of people's queues remaining longer and unaffected by the change from omega to alpha.

There's no mention of any change in relation to this in the patch notes since Ascension.

If this is/was exploit, you would be better off filing a ticket.
