Alphas already won't be able to do other entire areas of activities, like lighting cynos or cloaking.
I see high sec ganking the same way so I do not have any issues with cutting them off ganking in high sec too.
I believe CCP is making a mistake by not restricting security settings of alphas in high sec from the get-go.



I do not agree.
If hordes of alpha create situations that break the game, then hordes of Omegas create even worse situations. Let's not kid ourselves, here.

That depends entirely on your definition of Carebear. A significant portion of CODE. is alts of industrialists, who understand that BOOM makes the market go round.

If, on the other hand, you mean those paranoid of completing the "Loss of a ship" opportunity, I doubt it. They either have too strong feelings of how dirty and dishonorable it is, or lack the motivation. For the ones who try, it will be a good experience. Especially if they continue with the same character once they have to deal with -10 sec status. They will learn many valuable lessons in the process.


What abuse are you talking about, exactly?

Hauling things around highsec, that an alt on an existing account with an hour of training will do better? Venture mining for a mil per cargo haul? Last time I made a new mining character I didn't even undock until he could fly a barge. It just wasn't worth the effort. Vexor/Arbitrator ratting for the whopping 10? mil an hour you'll get in null with 5 medium drones and low capped skills? Maybe less if you have to gimp the fit because of bad fitting skills and lack of T2 modules forcing more tank/capacitor over damage.

I do a wide variety of activities with significantly more than one account on one computer. There are many better ways for me to make use of additional hardware, if I had it, than run a permanent trial account.

I do not know, people seems to think that unlimited Alphas will lead to "abuses" (note that I did use the "quotes")
There are people with massive amount of ISK that can create massive amounts of Omegas, but somehow massive amounts of Omegas seems fine while massive amounts of Alphas is not.. go figure...


Preaching to the choir, brother.

I also would like to know what happens if you are using +5 implants on a omega clone that reverts to alpha.
Due to missing skills for level 5 cyber, do +5 implants count as 0, +3 or +5?

Denying customers access to a simultaneous logged in second alt will hurt CCP games in the long run.
There has always been an average of 1.5 account per User, meaning there is more Opportunity for revenue.

The graphs even show an increasing demand for more then one active (Omega) account per User
CCP games should revert it's decision and give alpha clone accounts an Incentive to pay for Omega status.
If you pay for an Omega account you should get the Reward of activating one alpha alt clone simultaneously.

I find this whole alpha clone-free-to play thing simply ********. I predict a downfall in the amount of ships killed per month...oh wait thats already happening, the entire galaxy is as of now producing about three times more than it is destroying. So implementing another feature to increase the amount of players login into the game with restricted skills that will innevitably push them towards some sort of job within the chain of production /****** pvp seems like you want the galaxy to become carebear land. This feature as you now present it seems like a head shot to the balance of ships destroyed versus ships made specially in the state that the economy is in right now. Everyone's wallets are fat as hell, the big power blocks are not blowing up big ships and you want to introduce a whole new breed of capsuleers that can basically do two things...either mining or **** pvp ( the kind that does absolutly nothing for the bigger picture) The prices of super capitals keep plummeting on a daily basis. There hasnt been a major war in many months and now this. Apparently CCP is really looking to finally make this game as crappy as every other mmo out there.. ( i should have known when you change the griffin hull from a cool looking ship to the idk-wtf-is-that hull that it is now) But hey ill keep playing with my "Omega" you guys are just providing much easier targets for me to gank. Thank you for that...I look forward to your GM's sending me email about why i shouldn't blow up new players. Everything else i have read on this seems like utter crap and i truly don't know what kind of thinking is behind this whole idea because in all aspects and cross referencing with the current economic numbers that i have independently done points to the quick downfall of the gameplay that made eve epic. Yours truly "The Ceph"

I am truly going to love killing all these alpha clones. " Welcome to hello kitty with spaceships...here have a taste of my gankalyst"


-It is called highsec, not safesec.

I swear they all look like 9+ toons multiboxing nullsec miners

Actually it worse than EA's SWTOR free to play, i see 10000 blogs saying same things about CCP.
With such limitations you better dont add free to play at all or dont call it free to play, just unlimited trial.

Because i dont see how such drastic skill cap and x2 slower skill training can keep newbies playing, if you say its for new players then why all this so called "free to play" is all about stopping old players from abusing?
I dont think new players are all abusers, cheaters and exploiters.

I see only 1 option, add Delta clones for those who got 3 months of subscribtion or buy it for 3 plex. Something like buy to play.

If a character lapses from Omega to Alpha with, say, 30 days left on an Omega-only skill, will there be a ghost training period (currently 3 days?), will the entire skill finish training, or will training simply stop?
