It wasn't advertised as such,
I agree with you that CCP messed up on how they advertised it. When they first introduced alpha clones I thought it would ruin the game. I've come to understand that it is just an unlimited trial and I've since come to see it as a good thing. But again I agree that they should not advertise this game as F2P.
I personally will not play F2P games. I have an extreme personal dislike for being marketed to. I can not play games that are constantly trying to sell me fake stuff. I prefer games that charge me per month. I'd much rather have the game developers incentivized to make me want to keep playing the game rather than keep selling me crap. But that is just my personal stance on it, you are free to feel differently.

I couldn't use any of the required ships that I needed to get past it, because I didn't have the Omega Clone status. This must be obvious to anybody who isn't new to the game, but it surprised me. I couldn't even get past the first set of missions without putting money into this free game. I could have tried to save up and get the billion or so I needed for the better pilot's license, but that would take a very long time, given that I didn't have access to the best (or even average) ships and equipment.
Just because you could not get past the mission with what you had available to you does not mean someone else can't. I believe that you are confusing your personal limitations with those of your character. I am fairly certain that with a different tactic you could complete that mission in a T1 frigate.
More importantly this game is a true MMO. It is meant to be played with other players so aside from just advice help you could have found someone to actually help you in the mission. The two main keys to this game are what you know and who you know. Your character's skill points and ship's abilities have far less to do with outcomes.
I would recommend that you reframe your thought process on this and get out of a "why can't my ship do this" mentality and get into a "what tactics do I need to employ to complete this mission" mindset. If you want to be good at this game you will need to learn how to play it. It appears that this mission has presented you with an opportunity to learn a bit about: tanking, speed tanking, seperating fleets, and prioritizing targets. I would suggest that you use this opportunity to get the most out of it.
