Choosing Alpha Clone Race

One impact of the introduction of Alpha Clone state is racial cross training is no longer possible, unless you upgrade to Omega Clone state. The only difference between Alpha races are weapon system skills.

If you like Drones, choose either Gallente or Ammar. If you like Drone with Laser, then choose Amarr. If you like Missiles, choose either Caldari or Minmatar. If you like Missile with Projectile weapons, then chose Minmatar.

Then of course, each Alpha race can fly only their racial frigate, destroyer, cruiser and industrial. So, if you like Rifter for example, then you can only choose Minmatar. All alpha race can fly Gnosis battlecruiser. However, Gnosis is expensive especially if insurance is taking into account (only cover 6 ISK).

The following are the popular ships for alphas:

  1. Gnosis Battlecruiser can be flown by any alpha races.
  2. Vexor or Vexor Navy issue cruiser, great drone DPS, good tank, can be flown only by Gallente alphas
  3. Thorax cruiser, highest close-in DPS, can be flown only by Gallente 
  4. Arbitrator cruiser, cheap EWAR or drone boat, can be flown only by Amarr
  5. Caracal cruiser, good missile DPS, no tank, can be flown only by Caldari alphas
  6. Iteron Mark V the biggest cargo hauler, can be flown only by Gallente alphas
  7. Any T1 destroyers, good salvaging ship, can be flown by its alpha race.
  8. Rifter good damage, good speed, great tackler frigate, can be flown only by Minmatar alphas
  9. Any T1 scanning frigate, good for scanning signatures, can be flown by its alpha race.
  10. Venture frigate, great mining cargo, can be flown by any alphas

Update: This list has been updated to reflect balancing after CSM feedback.
