You can literally do everything in this game that is normal gameplay, just not extremely well, with the skills they have given you as an alpha account. Eve has had a steep learning curve and now you can learn at your own pace for as long as you wish, enjoy what you wish in the game just at a lower/slower level than others that pay. It removes ALL of the "I have to do this in 14-21 days!!!" to enjoy this game or I am forced to pay to play a game I dont get or havent gotten into yet because I know nothing yet. Imagine being a 2-5 year old and being thrown to the wolves by your parents. This is historically what the trial amounted to. Tossing a toddler into a shark pool and expecting it to survive. Now you can grow and do and not worry about the fiscal costs, out of game of course, so you can enjoy it without getting to scarred for life.  Single race mix of weapons so no mixing projectile/missle etc... .no missions above 2 and nothing heavier than a cruiser so you will never fight anything heavier than another cruiser if you mission run. Thats what... 2% of the ships you can use? Drones limited to just small and medium,no salvage, mining etc... yah, you can do a fair bit, enough to categorize it as a DEMO.. not free-to-play.
Question, Does this mean that an Omega clone can initiate a level 4 mission and invite alpha clone players?
OP, I suppose it is all about understanding the game which is something FTP can provide, the incentive to subscribe is you will be able to have a greater impact on whatever you are doing that's all there is and that's all one should need.
General points regarding FTP;
In my opinion I think that alpha clones can still experience a large amount of Eve. Most of the posts I've read regarding this seem to focus on alpha clones playing as solo. What if FTP inspires a new generation of player who adopts a healthy and enthusiastic teamwork ethic where they are happy to live within their means simply because its free?
If lots of alpha clones start joining well organised corps who specifically cater for alphas I think lots of things could be achieved and great fun could be had in achieving it.
Also, FTP is also for omega players, there is lots we can do to improve log on numbers because we now have a comfortable amount of time to advise and teach FTP'ers. I for one am all for supporting CCP in their latest endeavor to boost log on numbers and I think we should all get onboard and do what we can. This is our game.
Fear no one, live life, be free, accept the truth, do not judge others, defend yourself, fight hard till the end, meditate on problems and be prosperous. Things to exist by. -- RAIN Arthie
