Alphas can't extract alpha skills and you need a minimum of 5.5 million SP to be able to extract at all.

How can you be so intelligent, this is an amazing idea no one else ever thought about since the first day alpha clones were out.

This wasn't discussed on the forums multiple time before either, you are the first one.

Correct. This is how to get a free omega.

So you realise that your opening post is wrong:

First you need 5 million SP. Get this by training as an alpha... ...or wait 4 months as an alpha

Doesn't work in either aspect. Training as an alpha doesn't train any skills you can extract and 5million is not enough.

Farming SP is very profitable and can work to PLEX accounts. Just not the way you have outlined.

On top of what other people already said the notion that you would then be without any alpha limitation is pretty silly as well.

You will never develope past the skills any alpha can train like that, which means you will never be able to fly ships that require omega status in the first place. The only option to get there is to grind extra ISK to be able to buy plex once in a while without selling SP.

Also if enough players would follow your idea the demand of plex and the supply of skill injectors will go up. This means even with 0% tax you will not break even with just selling your SP -> you need to invest more and more ISK earned in other ways to keep your omega status. Sadly with your 5 million sp, grinding ISK will be very ineffective.

If you don´t want to pay for your account there are much better ways to farm plex than selling sp and gimping your own char forever.

That was my initial thought too. Though I'm failing to see how the op plans to profit from spreading his word.

Yeah, that was my second thought.

This is a ****-poor strategy. For starters, you are better off purhasing a 1-3 month subscription as opposed to PLEX as it will be significantly cheaper. Second, with +4 implants you'll be able to net (on average) about 3.5 injectors per month. Regardless of where you buy and sell your extractors and injectors you'll make about 1.4-billion ISK per month, less ongoing PLEX costs.

However, your primary character will not be accruing any skills beyond the base 5-million SP unless you start adding multiple accounts - which means you need to have another 4-5 characters to break even, PLEX all your accounts and still have your main gaining SP every month. This also assumes a steady prodit margin between the cost of extractors and the sale of injectors, which has as a point of fact - been shrinking.

I'm not even going to touch on the ideas for Citadels because there is so much FAIL in the overall proposal that it's a complete waste of time to point out obvious flaws other than to say it's a pipe dream.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

It's right around 5 million. It's less than the amount you need to have to actually extract SP - for very good reason.

I wouldn't consider an account unable to train at all as "Omega". Sure, you have no restrictions anymore, but since you're using all your skill training to make money to pay for your account, you can't actually take advantage of this.
