so I need four silver accounts to match one omega?

Good thing they're nearly free then, isn't it.

Those "Beta" clones are way too good as you've described them.

I still think that, if a Beta-grade clone ever gets made, it should simply be all four racial Alpha skill-groups combined into one, allowing all four races' frigates through cruisers, basic weapons, and the faction ships they enable. You aren't making them exceptionally strong (and definitely not making it so that cheap subs can run higher-level PvE with minor effort), but you are opening a lot more paths for them to play on. Give them a bump in training time, too, so it's 1.5x (Alphas are 1.0x, Omegas are 2.0x).

That would be the absolute limit for what I would want to see in clone grades, though. Alpha as they are, Beta as all four racial Alphas combined, and the unrestricted Omegas.

If that's all they get, what would be the incentive to pay any significant amount of money for them? I wouldn't pay over a tenth of the subscription rate for that.
