You can’t transfer to Steam. Your Steam account is only with Steam and CCP account is only with CCP. But you can start a fresh character with a Steam account and use skill extractors to rescue some SP from one account to other. ---

Yes, you’ll make back the cost of transfer (one character) in just under 3 months. The cost of character transfer is 2 plex one plex, and there is no restriction regarding Steam when transferring. Make your steam account and transfer your dude over. Maybe wait until the last few days of your Omega time on your normal account before pulling the trigger so you get close to your money’s worth out of it. ---

But you can start a fresh character with a Steam account and use skill extractors to rescue some SP from one account to other. But can’t you just transfer a character to an account regardless if that account is steam or not ? using the regular character sale and transfer mechanics you should be able to. So make steam account, sell yourself your main, transfer it, done. ---
