Cloning researchers in New Eden have developed two new clone states that change the structure of how pilots access the game's universe. Omega clones function exactly as existing subscribers do, with no restrictions. Alpha clones are free to create and maintain without a subscription, but their training is limited to a race-specific set of skills covering Tech I frigates, destroyers, and cruisers, with access to fundamental trading and industry operations. The distinction opens New Eden to players who were previously locked out by the subscription cost.
