Greetings capsuleers!
Today, we are happy to announce a new change thatGÇÖs coming to EVE Online in November that will fundamentally change New Eden, and how our pilots access it via the EVE client.
In short, cloning scientists in New Eden have developed a new method of cloning that revolves around two new clone states, Alpha and Omega. Omega clones will be familiar to all our current players, and will operate just like a subscribed character does today. Alpha clones will be accessible for free, without subscription, and will be capable of training an assigned set of skills themed to a characterGÇÖs race.
A Dev Blog has been published by Team Size Matters today with more details on this feature, and a questions and answers section where we look to clear up some initial concerns and questions regarding this change.

That is a bunch of awesome feedback here so far! Thank you.
As a quick reminder, if you disagree with something or if you think that something will be bad, please explain why you are thinking so. Knowing the reasons and your train of though is incredibly more helpful than just learning about the end result.

Quote:Why is Leadership 3 an Alpha clone skill? Probably because it's a prerequisite for Security Connections, which is also on the Alpha skill list in the dev blog.

Soltys wrote:For any potential veteran / returnee - this is not f2p, this is completely pointless (they can at best "retry" the game on some fresh alt) A long-time player who's been unsubscribed could log back on to their existing character in the Alpha clone state and play the game that way for a while, reconnect socially, and maybe buy a PLEX in-game or pay for a subscription if something exciting happens or they decide it's worth it, and drop back to free play when things slow down for them.
A veteran player who's paying monthly now but has to take a month or two away from serious Eve play for personal reasons could end their subscription but still log on occasionally to stay involved, then resubscribe and be back where they had been when it makes sense.
A player who would love to keep playing but can't justify the subscription cost can drop back to Alpha status on their existing character and stay involved, remain connected with their corp, fly in fleets with their friends, and be under no pressure to grind out the ISK for a PLEX.
If clone states were just an extended trial, it wouldn't offer these options to veteran Eve players.
