So F2P + premium subscription. Typical model
TBH
This is quite good, as long as the constraints listed in devblog are held in place (slower learning, 5m max, only subset available, etc.).

I'd add another constraint:
- cannot inject skills
This should be reserved for subbed accounts only.

Yes, I was too fast. With 5m sp ceiling and skill constraints it's irrelevant. And better for traders at the same time =)

TBH I'm not now even sure if it qualifies as typical (+premium) f2p.
For example, I've a friend that has some small yet decent cash and flies one type of T3C. Told him about "f2p" and he responded - "Well I know, but what's the point for me ? I can't fly anything I normally fly, I cannot use most racial stuff as I trained into other areas and should I even want to train them I'm well beyond 5m sp".
For any potential veteran / returnee - this is not f2p, this is completely pointless (they can at best "retry" the game on some fresh alt) - and IMHO it's good. Not like subbing by any means out there is an issue these days.
For genuinly new players it's just evolved trial with no explicit time limit, which is notably deal than they have now. But also with rigid constraints in terms of what they can really do/skill in game.
I rarely agree with CCP ideas these days, but this one is good (and literally harmless for

Instead of recurring make it automatic, for example:
For each account that hasn't logged for 1 month or more, offer free Omega clone for say 2 days. Up to 7 days maxium.
Or anything similar along those lines, with whatever granularity deemed sensible.

Might as well stick with the subscription to actually enjoy the game!
Yea it's basically current trial with more constraints and without time limit. For genuinly new players it's probably nice, for anyone else ... yea (putting aside all potential multiboxing / free alts issues aside ...).
