been asking for something like this for a long time and glad for the alphas focused training and limits to what they can train. Gives the uninitiated the opportunity to come into the game and do more than the 14d trial -hardly an time at all to really see what is possible in EVE. Giving newbies the core skills to do some T1 frig, dessie, and cruiser action can give them the chance to dive into the game and seeing so much more available, the chance to sub to omega or not.
I'm of mixed feelings about
Q: Are there restrictions on simultaneous log on for Alpha Clones?
A: We have not decided whether the simultaneous log on restrictions from the current trial system will apply to Alpha Clones. The decision will partly depend on your feedback, as well as our technical investigations over the coming months.
-to have omega players creating alphas for quick attack fleets that no one can id will be a problem. 600 players in an alliance create 600 alphas all in cruisers even with skill limits is still 600 untraceable players back to the alliance. These 600 alphas who are really alliance X can be used to harass alliance X blues without alliance X being exposed. Keep the system in place that if you have an Omega logged in, you can't have an Alpha running -great and all, but you just don't have your Omega running...
To prevent abuse of meta-alpha'ing -restrict the amount of isk that an alpha can receive through player donations. Permit up to 100 million isk donation for the life of the Alpha. Once the 100 million isk limit is reached, player cannot be donated to. If alliance X wants to create 600 alphas and give them 100 mil as suiciders or harassers that's fine, but then the alpha must earn isk to buy their ships. If you see tons of alphas created, donated to, and then deleted, it will give you a fair idea that it's being abused.
might want to consider that alphas cannot receive 'omega' items in trade -could just trade battleships to them to sell on the market and get isk that way.
Is it possible to restrict their ability to sell ships? they should not be able to receive cruisers to put up for sale as a way to fund harassment or suicide fleets. Sure, give them 20 fitted ships, but they can only use them, not sell them.
Good luck with this. glad that newbies will have a chance to see a bit more of the game.
