>is that even possible as alpha at the point?
Alpha clones can not get navigation skills, which you will quickly find is a death sentence because 1v1 fights are largely about dictating distance.
Like, I have blasters which are good at 3k, he has rockets which are good at 10k. So, I scrabweb him and close in to my optimal.
Except I don't have navigation skills, so I have like 80% of the velocity I am supposed to have so by the time I make it to 5k I'm half dead and by the time I get to 3k he's so far ahead in the damage race t's already too late. As a trivial example.
With my alpha nigger I've found exactly 3 functions I can perform in an actual fight - fast warp disrupting frigate (still gimped by no navigation skills but I'm probably the top 2% ever in that role so I barely scape by), dumbass damage dealing cruiser/battlecruiser with T2 medium weapons and T1 remote repair cruiser.
And of course scout, any ship can do that. Sucks not to have a cloak though.
In any role you're gimped to some degree, but when it comes to dealing damage or repairing you don't actually lose that much. Like, a hurricane navy is going to do almost as much damage with alpha skills as it will with all 5.
The problem, however, is that you need to have all the relevant alpha available skills and that barely fits into the SP cap. I have a character that was designed from the outlet to do just that one ship and it fits. But he can't do much else.
