This question asked a lot, so I decided to make a thread. Hopefully, this will help players to find the answers they are looking for.

**Multiple Omega Accounts**  
+Allows you to multi-box  
+Cheapest way to train multiple characters if paying cash  
-You have to pay for each account to keep your characters omega

**Single Omega Account**  
Good if you only want to do limited omega training on 2nd or 3rd character and don’t need to multibox (i.e. P.I. Alt, Trading Alt)  
+Only have to pay for one account to keep omega status on all of them  
+Cheapest way to train multiple characters if paying isk (through Multiple Pilot Training Certificates)  
-Can’t Multibox

**Multiple Alpha Accounts**  
Good if you want to try the game out, or for low skill alts (i.e. Market Alt, Ganking Alt)  
+Allows you to train multiple accounts up to 5mil SP for free  
+Free  
-Can only train up to 5 mil SP (need plex, daily injectors, or a sub after that)  
-Severe Ship and Skill Restrictions  
-Can’t Multibox

I’d add trading alt to the single omega bit.
