I like the idea of ftp however my first tought was now i can have a free scout and pi , wich seems to be the main problem with this model.
Suggestion
State sponsored capsuleers.
Following the same logic of the racial skills, the objective is to narrow down the alpha clone functionality within the game.
example
you create a new industrial character, wich will be sent to an industrial npc corp of the empire you choose, and indy alpha character will have a slower skill progression than an omega one, but it could also have a much slower progression on skills that are not necessary for industrial pourposes, the speed will be faster or slower according to how necessary they are for the chosen profession, and the difference will increase the more the alpha character specialices in its chosen profession, maybe even to the point of locking them out of some skills.
The skills available to train for the alpha clones could be tied to the an npc corporation, and only available when the standings are reached, this will not matter to someone playing the character on the job they choose, but will force anyone else to grind for the character skills.
There could be also tax and services walls between empires following the same logic, so if you are gallente you will pay the same as an omega clone in gallente space, but taxes will be higher depending on standings between your chosen character race and other factions, and no way to change this by doing missions, this will localize alpha clones to their chosen empire and eventualy npc corp in any profession, making them an npc sponsored capsuleer, like a cold faction warfare.
As the character progresses it will become more difficult to multirole and more specialized characters will be more difficult to get since they cannot be obtained afk, it might even allow for free characters to train for anything they want, within a narow path.
Alpha clones could get penalties for going against the npc faction they belong to, like loosing the skill funtionality, they could also join player corps but only if standings allow it.
Alpha clones cannot be bought.
P.s.- Add pirate factions to faction warfare and wis.
