Alpha clones are free, if you need a ship you cannot fly because of alpha clone restrictions then start a new clone. Yes I know having multiple free accounts accomplishes the same basic thing because those other accounts will give you as a person access to ships you currently cannot fly, but to be honest that was the intent from the beginning. CCP wants to limit what a single alpha character can do so they limit that character to a single race of ships plus a few others like the Genosis. As a person they do not want to force you into that single race of ships restriction so they allow you to have multiple accounts with the added penalty of only having one online at a time.
Another reason to deny your request is the proverbial where does it stop. At least once every week we get a new alpha clones need to have access to _____ ( you fill in the blank) if CCP gave into those requests they might just as well remove ALL restrictions on the alpha clones which would be really bad for their cash flow.
Given that CCP needs to keep heavy restrictions in place on the alpha clones why do you think they should make your requested change and not any of the other change requests that have come before yours? |

I read it - those request are not even describing why should CPP do it - why would such change be reasonable. I tried to explain why I think the change I propose is reasonable. And the resposes here did not prooved me wrong. It simply does not matter how well reasoned you think your arguments is the simple fact remains that CCP does not want an alpha clone character to have access to more than one single race of ships. Because you choose a race for your clone that cannot fly one of the ships you want to have is not a viable reason for CCP to change a ship and in the process force ALL of us Omega clones to train yet another skill simply to keep flying something we can already fly.
Vokan Narkar wrote:The only responses till now were: - just make and alt (alt account) - its not a problem because you can create an alt Those are the responses you get because those are the proper actions for YOU as a person with an alpha clone to take because as an alpha clone character you have 3 options. Work with what the game will give you. Start another free clone so you have access to what you want but cannot currently fly. Or pay the subscription fee and have what you want.
Vokan Narkar wrote:Why is anything you can workaround via creating alt(s) suddenly not a problem? I don't think that creating dozen alts to deal with any problem you run into is healthy. That is the choice CCP has given you. Run with many alts so your FREE TO PLAY characters can have access to what you want. Or pay money and get what you want. There is no person or company on this planet that is FORCING you to play as a alpha clone, you made that decision and like everything else in EvE there are consequences to be paid for that decision, game working as intended.
Vokan Narkar wrote:Currently if I want to play alpha clone and be independed on alts/friends (and friends are not always in same sector/logged at same time) it must be Gallente. Even if I like to fly Caldari ships because they are cool looking and I like them, Caldari alpha is in disadvantage when it comes to hauling ore/minerals/pi. Given that the main activity for new player is mining, being able to move the 1m veldspar you just mined 5+J away is quite a basic task. Game working as intended. Free to play in exchange for a limited range of ships you can fly. Pay your sub with cash or plex and have access to ALL of the ships in the game on the same character.
Vokan Narkar wrote:So yes I believe there is a need for one additional ore mining ship flyable by alpha clone. The best would be somehow to guarantee you get the bigger profit if you mine in lowsec - which is currently not true. But I don't know how could that be done on alpha clone give its skill limitations. As mentioned above given that your change would require ALL of the Omega clone characters to train yet another skill so we can continue to fly a ship we can already fly you lose and will just have to start yet another FREE TO PLAY clone. |

Not this tired old crazy argument again. By the way you are wrong here. Using plex or paying cash for your sub simply does not matter CCP gets real cash money either way. If you use plex someone, somewhere and at some point in time had to pay real cash money to buy that plex from CCP.
