I'm under the impression, that many people haven't read the list of skills. Even the max Level of the skills is limited so the impact will be low.
There are 2 aspects that may be bad:
1. using alpha fleet in Null/low. Well this is up to us PLAYERS!!! unable to handle the freedom CCP gives us which is a lot more then in every other game on the market.
2. Mining with alphas: Same as above
The problem are not the new players but the greed and absolute will to win no matter how damaging to the game by vet players. It is up to US!!!! players to think twice if we will stretch the borders till CCP nerfs us or if we will restrict ourself. The problem is with the Omega players using meta and ingame in any way possible to get the upper hand. Mostly we show the inability to use our freedom wisely so CCP has to step in rather then limiting ourself.
I like the idea, it might get a lot of new players into Eve. In the end it's just an expansion of the 21 day free trial. |

mining was an error of my noobship. Maybe with multiple accounts and multiplexing it would get interesting but at the moment I can't be booted to do so.
But for the discussion it's a bad try to devaluate arguments by attacking the arguer. Even if I would be a miner is my opinion less valuable then your leet vet PvP opinion? btw: You are most likely flying ships build from the minerals that the miners digged out of astroids. Next time mine your own minerals! |

All of them are skilled for planetary interaction (And nothing elese happens here). Can i still use and manage my pi with this account in alpha state? Thanks for the information. No. But iam able now to have my own mining fleet? Main Omega Char with orca and then 1~3 frigates killing rats + 3~4 mining frigates? Sure, that appears to be an option. Thats cool Promoted! From capsule commander to fleet commander :D Additionally i now can take 2~3 ships as bodyguards with me, that's better then having drones, oh wait, even my bodyguards can use drones :D
Sure, if you want to take the hassle of it: do it.
I wrote on the inability of the Omega players to limit themself and to abuse each feature CCP gives us till it get nerfed away and THEN whaling that CCP is nerfing the game. That may be one of the reasons that we have less sandbox then we might have, if we players are ready to handle the freedom CCP gave us. |

Start reading the first paragraph of my text which you deliberately edited out. This corp is a one-man-tax-evading-corp and I will stick to the name even if it doesn't reflect my actual gaming.
This just shows that you are unable to handle other aspects of the sandbox then PvP. Valkyrie might be the game for you. Without the miners you would be forced to mine your own minerals: have fun. I don't want to do the job! |

The only real point that I think can be unbalancing is FW. There you can make a lot of money with T1 frigs and they can be used as bodyguards to an Omega toon. Everywhere else the skill caps will severely limit the Alphas but because of the frig restrictions this doesn't apply to FW. IMHO Alphas should be banned from FW that's the only addition that is really needed. |

IMHO Alphas should be banned from FW that's the only addition that is really needed. Thing is more characters participating in FW can only be good for it free or not. One of the questions is though whether the alpha skill base is high enough to compete even in a frigate fight. It's some of the poor mechanics that need to change to tone down farming. Hopefully CCP sees this.
Not on their own but you can blop with many of them as bodyguards or use them as fire-and-forget runners. FW System is the only System where frigs really count due to the size restriction.
In shattered wormholes their inability to cloak will make them easy prey |

I apreciate the effort however i'm looking slightly deeper than that.
Going from clone A to clone B Now requires one to leave it's current body behind (read install a new jump clone).
That may require the skill or destroy the body i'm leaving behind.
There is still the intra-citadel jump case.. timer or not .
so for these new clones states i'm reading if the skill allows it, i can use it.
regardless of what skills one has or doesnt, i'm still curious on that implant / training speed topic since if i drop sub to train "insert race my original race" for free, it will be faster to do so if i have implants, i'm not going to list the situations this can happend in. I'm bringing it up since this is a feedback thread.
Well, alphas are limited to just hop back to the med clone so JCs are not an option and yes, you are likely intended to loose the +5imps if you try. CCP doesn't want to make it cosy for Omegas to hop back and skill for free on alpha. And IMHO anything limited to the alpha skills should not be running around with +5imps. IMHO working as intended.
The only use for alphas for someone with a Omega clone would be free skilling for another account that will be later plexed cause even a max skilled Alpha is more or less useless for things you need a second account for. They will most likely limit the amount of alphas logged in simultaneously to stop scouting with alpha fleets.

It's telling that there are 2 dev-Blog in a row. Alpha/Omega and the end of exe-login. If there is no exe-login you can easily restrict a comp to JUST launch an Alpha and nothing else. This wouldn't hamper new players in any way and kill tons of abuses by vets. |
