First I would like to say I am thankful for the free option since money is tight these days and I can't afford game subs anymore. I am all for the restricting free accounts to certain classes of ships, however locking them the one faction of ship is too much. When I started playing EVE (approximately 6+ years ago) I started as a Gallente character due to the fact that their faction's mentality in their description appealed to me the most, but I quickly realized I liked Caldari ships better. Now that I have come back to the game I find that I cannot pilot a single ship I own save for my mining frigate and my Gallente industrials. I literally have no skills for any Gallente ships bigger than a frigate, or maybe a destroyer. This essentially means I have to "start from scratch". This is a big "kick in the nuts" that has left me extremely disappointed in this new addition to the game. |

Number of ships you could fly for free pre-Ascension: 0. Number of ships you can fly for free post-Ascension: Greater than 0.
Want to have your old ships back? Pay up. Don't want to pay up? Stop complaining about free stuff.
I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Because previously char race was unlinked from ships while now playing a alpha is stricted linked to the race, I think it would be fair to let returning players a one time option to chose a different race from the one they previously decided. |

Or you could just fly Gallente ships, which are widely regarded as the best "alpha" choice anyway.
It's really hard to sympathize when you describe getting something for free as a "big kick in the nuts" because it's not 100% your favorite thing.

If it weren't for the "I want everything for free, and make Mexico pay for it!" people on the forums lately, I might have a little more sympathy. My position was the racial locked thing is bad because it's impossible to have a perfectly balanced game, and the response given was "oh, well then, completely throw away your in game identity, your relationships, your corp history, your standings, any progress you may have made, and start a new character." But now, I'm kinda just wanting those people to leave.

Well yeah, have you not heard? Ascension brought in the Joseph Stalin "clone state" to make the game "free". Oh wait... I meant ALPHA clone, sorry. |

Nonsense.
Embrace the chance to try something new. Re-sub when you can.

Wow. So the choice you made a couple years ago, has lasting consequences even to this day, huh.

In the time spent complaining about it, you could train the skills - from starter skills to cruiser level 3 shouldn't take more than 2 days for an Alpha. Both Caldari and Gallente use hybrid weapons so that shouldn't be an issue. |

Or just train the skills on your current character. It's free, after all, and not an especially long train, just a few months. Then you can play for free while flying your Caracal as much as you wish. (But not your Cerb nor Raven nor Golem, I hope you realize.) |

I will try, my point was though I can't afford any subs right now so I am going to have to take the time to train for those Gallente ships. :) |

Slow down and read more carefully next time Monkey. I wasn't just bitching, I brought attention to a valid problem with the model and I never once said I didn't like it because it isn't my 100% favorite thing, what I did say however in the first sentence is money is tight and I can't afford a sub or that would be the very first thing I would do. Eve is one of the best games I have ever played...for many many years. Oh and BTW, I happen to like Vanilla. |

Want to have your old ships back? Pay up. Don't want to pay up? Stop complaining about free stuff. Obviously someone who has never had to struggle a day in their life. Whether or not I have to struggle is irrelevant. Eve used to cost money. Now you can do some things free, but have to pay if you want to do everything. You seem to want everything for free now, and that's nothing if not entitled. Pay up, deal with the restrictions, or leave.

Welcome to the point of EVE, patience and adaptation. You appear to have forgotten these things in your time away, however hopefully you rediscover them. |

Hello, I've just come back to Eve. My favorite ship is federation navy comet. Unfortunately, when I created this character a long, long time ago I picked Caldari as my primary race.
Unfortunately, I cannot fly comets now. I consider that unfair. How was I supposed to know that I wouldn't be able to fly comets upon returing to the game many years later? I cannot foresee the future.
So, as of now, I'm appealing to CCP to remove this unfair disadvantage. Or at least I want to be allowed to have my race changed.
Thank you! Let's make this game great again.

1: Sell the ships you can't use. 2: Buy skill extractors 3: Extract the locked skills 4: Inject the SP 5: Spend it on **** you can use
Alternately, just pay your sub so you can use the same **** you could use when you were paying your sub before. Literally nothing has changed aside from you having a free option if you want to embrace its limitations. |

If money is so tight, that you can't afford a sub.
Then why the **** are you spending your time on a non-profit activity like EvE in the first place? Maybe, you should consider spending that energy on something that earns you IRL money, so you can actually survive.
If your children are starving and you are living out of a card-box, how important is it really that CCP increases the ships available for an Alpha? |
