How much does it cost to upgrade to an Omega

[Khorne Flakes]

"Play for FREE – Play for Free as Alpha clone. Established players can eventually play as Omega clone by upgrading from Alpha with in-game money they earn while playing."

So how much in-game currency is required to upgrade to an Omega? Is there a time limit until I am back to an alpha? Any info would be VERY much appreciated! :)

PLEX (in-game item consumed to provide 30 days omega game time) went for around a billion last time I checked.

And err... I assume getting around 1 billion PLEX would take a LONG time, and isn't worth grinding. Thanks for the info.

Just ask stupid players for their money in very specific ways

Hey, you can make a billion isk, as long as you accept that you won't do it in a week, unless you're running very high-end wormhole content :)
You can do exploration, which is an activity available to Alphas, or just do PvP, and, protip, use a rookie ship, loot wrecks of dead ships, and sell the modules. You'll make some good isk that way and you'll also be able to fund PvP ships or exploration ships for yourself. Making a billion isk *is* possible, you just gotta be prepared to put the time in \o/

Just let me know if you've got any other questions :D

Do understand that it's not CCP selling you that PLEX for ISK, but other players. As such, the price is determined by the basic principle of supply and demand. Why does PLEX cost so much? Because everyone wants to play "for free" by grinding out a few virtual coins in a split second, but so few people are willing to buy PLEXes with their real-life money to sell to other players for ISK that only the top earners in the game get to take advantage of this.

i hear as alpha in a gnosis (best ship alpha can get) the highest lvl you can do are lvl 3 missions so say goodbye to those big stacks of Isk that most people are going to say that you can earn such as wormholes in null zones and omega only contents

There's so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin.

I started out my own account (before this F2P change) with the aim to be able to generate enough ingame money within a month to keep my account running. Took me 2 months to first break the 1 billion mark.

Of course ingame knowledge and your skill set enable you to generate money much quicker once you get familiar with overall activities. How long that "ramp-up" time takes depends on your intial character progression. Personally I didnt reach the goal of self-sufficiency with my first 30 days but I discovered I had fun playing the game so I kept at it :) Maybe you will too

New players ventures will potentially pull 1-5 Million Isk/Hr.
Meaning that you'll have to play a good 10-20 Days straight non-stop to get your first PLEX...

With the right research, fittings, and focus you can get to a point where you can get +100 mil isk/hr even as an Alpha... but what you need to know to get there and how long it takes to manage that still it isn't worth it.

so instead of doing a sh!t post saying nothing like ive read much of those on the eve forums maybe post something relevant with why its so wrong ?

Alright, where to begin:

"i hear as alpha in a gnosis (best ship alpha can get) the highest lvl you can do are lvl 3 missions so say goodbye to those big stacks of Isk that most people are going to say that you can earn such as wormholes in null zones and omega only contents"

A) Gnosis is not "the best ship an alpha can get", there is no "best" in Eve, only "what is most useful in this particular situation" (I own one, and barely ever use it, lesser ships with cheap fits are more useful to me most of the time)
B) Doing lv4 missions is not the only way to make enough for plex, exploration is totally doable by alphas and is highly profitable (though it is more dangerous without omega cloak etc), and there are many other ways of earning high isk as well which alphas can use
C) "Wormholes in null zones and omega only contents" Alphas can explore wormholes and null just like everyone else. If you mean incursions even omegas need to be pretty beefy to pull those off.

I could go on, but that's just based on your first post. You seem to have a very limited idea of what you can do in Eve as an alpha, that's on you, not Eve. Your opinion also appears to be based on hearsay "I hear that....", which makes it dubious at best.

I should also say this though, if you're playing to earn a plex, you're doing it wrong. Plex is great, it allows you to use some stuff you would otherwise be unable to, and the skill tree is much better as an omega. That said, play it for fun, not plex. If you make enough for the plex, hey bonus! If not, at least you're still having fun.

is it that fact that you've never actually tried it? or you have a gnosis but its fitted with all omega only weapons and mods using omega skills and you can do more than lvl 3 missions lvl 3 rats because of it ?

buy one and try it since i assume you think you are so elite and rich use an alpha skillset , mods and fit and see how far you can get . it would be good to know if the people who actually tried it for real were right and not the usual fanboys from eve forums spreading bs and mis information or not even realising what is locked behind the alpha paywall thinking its doable go try lvl 4 rats and lvl 4 such missions

so instead of doing a sh!t post saying nothing like ive read much of those on the eve forums maybe post something relevant with why its so wrong ?

It is capable of running L4 difficulty content, but is PvE focused - no ability to gank because you can web/scram victims. It passive tanks much like a L4 Mission Drake near identical DPS, EHP, Speed, and health Shield replenish. But since many of the L4 missions are tuned for Battleships - it is going to be time consuming to finish those missions.

Unfortunately it also carries a 1.2 Billion Isk price tag...
But then again, L4 capable drakes are similar in price...

Again - L4 is generally tuned for battleships and T2-3 Cruisers.

It's 15 dollars/30 days subscription fee, so there's that option too.

It's 2016... the mission drake has gone the way of the mining rokh... if yer going to fly a 1.2b mission ship youd be better off in a full t1 fit marauder (aka if you're going to do something dumb that "works" might as well go all out)

Never said it was a smart idea...
... i genuinely believe that Running Missions in general for Isk is generally a bad idea.

But much like the Veldnaught, Civie Marader, and Mining Rokh - It is Eve.
Tears and Stupidty is it's main export for no other reason then 'Why not...'

I was actually going to try if I can do l4s on an alpha account (without a 2bil fit), was thinking VNI though. Just as an experiment. I'm assuming that it is possible, but isn't easy or efficient.

That being said, there are other, better ways to earn isk than missions. However, some of them require stepping out of "I'm questing in a MMO" comfort zone, some require a bit of knowledge and experience (but they're quite googlable), and some have a SP threshold unreachable by alphas.

And plex isn't something that is only reachable by "the 1%", even l4 mission runners (of which there is legion) don't struggle with getting it. And then there's Planerary Interaction, incursions, wormhole sites, market manipulations, industry, combat sites and escalations, lowsec ratting+pvp+clone soldier tags, faction warfare, exploration... Pick your poison. Did I miss anything?.. Latter 4 all available to alphas, by the way.

But alphas can't fly battleships.

I guess they will need to bring their Drake (if Caldari).
