I am actually really looking forward to this.
Curious if there will be any possibility for some kind of minimum fit for alphas...
But it will take some time to determine that for sure.
if worst case scenario hits, and still cant do it with alphas, i'd advise to just get 1 plex somehow (loan, mine, realmoney, etc.) to begin with, train into some minimum fit like literally in no time, then get into WTM fleets! After that you can farm out any kind of ISK you want for future plexs , paying back the loan , and anything else you want. Its just a matter of willing, really.
In any case chin up and stay tuned!
