[FREE] EVE Online Starter Pack (Steam)

You have to add the base game first. No need to install it though.

How do you do this?

same, I have my main account linked to steam, is not here, also not on my other acc

Omega is "premium" status which equals active subscription (all in-game content available), and skills train twice faster than free account status (alpha).
As for 7 days thing - it will probably be in item delivery system as a separate Item. In that case it will be possible to redeem the stuff to one of player characters within 180 days iirc.

All the fun times have long since passed. I was there when Goonswarm was a fledgling group of a thousand people, who trolled established groups with years of skills on their side and I was barely flying a tier above newbie ship classes. We swarmed their ships and demanded cheap items from them and got blown up by weapons costing a thousand times the worth of our ships.
We organized and formed alliances with older groups who used our space for battles and went to war with the top players in the game, who were the chosen of CCP and got perks from it. We would lose dozens of ships per kill, but one of theirs cost thousands of times our worth. I killed their drones that cost at least ten times the cost of my ship and just as strong. We crashed system after system by flooding it with part of our numbers and got repeatedly banned by CCP for messing with the fun of CCP favorites. That was a very long time ago.

You might have enjoyed it ten years ago when it was chaotic and servers were unstable, but you need to join a corporation to get free stuff, in order to experience the game in any capacity in a short time frame. Solo is for people who played for years.

Its confusing to me because the core free game says it has "Steam Trading Cards", but the free starter pack has limitations listed below, yet the card prices are pretty high for a free game So does that mean the general game, the various packs/DLC, or both have card drops? I don't see drops on the market specific to any Eve Online packs. Furthermore, if the free base game has card drops, why should getting a free starter pack prevent you from getting those drops?

While supplies last. Games granted during free-to-keep promotions do not drop Steam Trading Cards.
