Clone States is the new free to play system that is implemented in November 2016. There ~~are~~ two different types of clones ~~Alpha and Omega clones.

'''Clone States''' is the new free-to-play system that will be implemented in November 2016. There will two different types of clones:

* Alpha clones, which are limited in which [[Skills and Learning|skills]] they can train, but which cost no subscription fee to play

* Omega clones, can train and use all skills, but which require a monthly subscription fee to play

~~Alpha Clones are~~ characters on ~~none~~ subscription ~~accounts and~~ Omega clones ~~are~~ characters on subscription ~~accounts~~. ~~This information~~ is ~~not revealed~~ in game. The conversion from Alpha to Omega or vice versa will always happen before or after a session.

Any characters on an account with an active [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203599091-Subscription-Costs subscription] (paid for with time cards, monthly payments, PLEX...) are Omega clones, whereas any characters on an account without an active subscription are Alpha Clones. There is no way to tell an Alpha from an Omega clone in-game. The conversion from Alpha to Omega or vice-versa will always happen at the start of a new before or after a session.

~~Skills~~ trained ~~in Omega Clones~~ will be ~~locked when the subscription period ends before~~ or ~~after~~ the ~~session and never during a session~~. ~~Ones a~~ account ~~subscribes again~~ the ~~clone state switches~~ to Omega and the skills ~~are unlocked also not during the session~~.

If an Omega clone is downgraded to an Alpha clone (because the account's subscription has run out), any skills that character has trained which are not part of the Alpha skill set are locked and become inactive, i.e. they cannot be used, but the invested skill points will not be lost. Any items or ships which require the locked skill become inactive. If the account's subscription is renewed, then the character is automatically upgraded back to an Omega clone and can once again use all the skills they have previously trained.

== Alpha Clones ==

Alpha clones ~~have~~ a limited ~~possibility~~ to ~~learn skills this will lock them in racial~~ ships and ~~weapon types. All none subscription accounts will be able to login as Alpha Clones.~~

Alpha clones may only train a limited number of skills. They are restricted to using:

* Their race's preferred weapon system and ships

* Ship sizes up to [[cruiser]]s

* [[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels|Tech 1]] modules and ships

~~Here a list of skills that can me learned on~~ Alpha clones
