Hi everyone! I happily played Eve for about 2 years before leaving when it became clear I didn't have proper time for it (made babies!) No 3 years later, I read that Eve was going F2P, so I started thinking about coming back, but didn't really read about those "Alpha Clones" and stuff.

I logged in last night. A huge wave of nostalgia overwhelmed me, but then I went to my hangar and realized that I did not have the training to fly my pimped up Tengu. Then I checked the asset tab, and pretty much all my ships all over the universe were inaccessible .

My question is: if I start paying, will I recover all my skills and be merrily on my way?
