I love the idea of the free to play option in eve.
The only problem is.... The current way it works it limits freedom quite abit too much in my oppinion.

In my case, i have a minmatar character who is specialized into Amarr ships in the time i played (7 mill skillpoints)
Now he has been nulified to being useless in the alpha state. Unable to fly anything of minmatar with any good efficiëncy.

I would really like to see this TINY restriction lifted, allowing everyone to simply pick the alpha restrictions on any faction no matter

All CCP wanted is to to get some more people to feel limited, and then sign up for Omega, to make some extra cash. In a greater perspective, alpha clones are as useless as a soup sandwich, calling this free to play is completely inaccurate, you obviously have to pay, unless one of your only goals is to fly with underpowered (underskilled) frigs with a lot of people, blowing crap up, but if that is their plan of getting new people to join, they failed (as the only slightly increased numbers that I saw, I expected more). Took me 42 secs to delete this again, because I expected way more people to be playing, but I can foresee how these alpha clones will not at all keep new players interested for longer than like two weeks or so.

Sweetie,
If you want this TINY restriction lifted... spend the $15 (or equivalent).

Can't fly Guristas ships as an Alpha pilot. Literally unplayable!

doesn't matter what you think because you are wrong, you can do any activity in the game for free for as long as you want, that makes it free to play, doesn't matter about the restrictions are in place, as long as time is unlimited its a free to play. they haven't failed the logins are high, jita local went from 1500 in local to 2500 in local, 16k was max online during weekdays, its at around 26k now, give it some time man you sound super salty and pretty impatient, no wonder you quit

For the umpteenth time: No, you're not getting pirate frigs and cruisers as an alpha, get over it, move on.

Omega Clones are an excellent solution to your problem!
