=== Gameplay ===
While they are well suited for getting introduced to EVE Online, Alpha characters should be seen more as an "indefinite trial" rather than as a "free-to-play" option.
==== Combat ====
Alpha characters are perfectly viable in low-level PvP and PvE, and in support roles in larger-scale PvP (such as [[EWAR]] or [[tackle]] for a fleet).
==== Industry ====
Alpha characters can [[mining|mine]] in a [[Venture]] (but not use more advanced mining ships), and can perform basic [[manufacturing]]. While they will not be as efficient as an Omega character (with access to more advanced ships and skills which improve manufacturing efficiency), they can nonetheless participate in basic industry. They can [[salvage]] wrecks, but they cannot, however, do [[Planetary Interaction]].
Alpha characters can [[trade]], but they will pay higher taxes on their transactions and have fewer options at their disposal (e.g. they can only sell items located within 5 jumps, whereas an Omega character has the option to train skills allowing them to sell items anywhere in the current region)
==== Exploration ====
Alpha characters can do basic [[exploration]].
