Lol…. I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Pay a sum for being able to pew-pew in a Titan for one day, as part of “the crew”…. Which has absolutely nothing in common with Ubisoft and any kind of reference to that Ubisoft game is purely casual and unintentional…. ---

If a Capsuleer has always maintained an Alpha account, then said Capsuleer should be required to purchase a One month Omega account. After the month of Omega, the Omega account would be able to operate an Alpha account indefinitely. Gankers do cause inflation because they do not put real money into the environment. Selling modules scooped from wrecks really has zero value compared to the real money put into the environment to purchase the same type of modules. ---

> [@DrysonBennington](#): > > do not put real money into the environment. How then do you think they pay for ships lost? If I were to take up such a task, I would have to go omega again just to support my ganking toon. I like you but your wrong on that one. ---

If you’re only interested n playing on weekends then there is the 3 day omega option. It even comes with some plex and you get to play when you want. You don’t need the skill training 7 days a week for every single pilot you have. ---

> [@Skillerkid](#): > > So how this works is just pay for Omega. You don’t have to grind the full 500 PLEX as ISK, you can buy PLEX in increments of 100 for $5 to cover what you don’t earn. If you can mine/rat 60% of the PLEX needed to buy Omega, then you only need to spend half the cash to finish out the PLEX for Omega. The 21 day free trial we used to have wasn’t enough to really let people know if this game was for them, so CCP created Alphas. It’s an open ended trial, not a way to permanently play the game. ---

Alphas can pay for the game by purchasing an Omega account. ---

> [@Skillerkid](#): > > you can have all that continue continue as an ALPHA only if you pay a license. I can bring an example here, there is a game not game say what game, that has a continue skill training if you pay a subscription, but if you do not, they the skill training continues only if you are online or if you pay for a power-up. Only if the amount Alphas pay for far exceeds what Omega pays for to get all of that access at once with a small monthly fee. I would fully support this if it means Alpha players spend way way way more on these tokens than I do on Omega.
