3-Day Active Omega Boosters will be available for 5000 AUR
This along with The Million Clone Challenge, in which Omegas will work, means you can get an extra 1 million bonus SP along with any additional active skill points you earn during those three days.
Disclaimer: This assumes the community reaches the one million clone death challenge.

If the community reaches one million killed clones, then everyone who played at least ten matches over the weekend will get 1 million bonus SP. However, active skill boosters will also apply. So if you have a normal active booster on and we reach the goal then you get 1.5 million bonus SP. If you have an omega active booster on and we reach the goal then you get 2 million bonus SP.
So long as your active booster is on during Friday after downtime then you will be set to receive the multiplied value.

2500 Aurum Thanks So what to do? Stock up on Active Omegas or buy double the normal boosters
Normal booster is 50% bonus skill points and costs 2500 AUR
Omega booster is 100% bonus skill points and costs 5000 AUR
This is a rare scenario where CCP priced the Omega boosters to be exactly twice that of normal boosters, and given that Omega boosters are also exactly twice the bonus payout all you're doing by buying Omegas is saving time without any additional fee associated with that.
So say you buy 4 3-day Omega Active Boosters and cap out for four straight weeks with with them. The amount of extra skill points you receive would be the same as if you bought 8 normal active boosters for the same price and cap out for eight straight weeks with them.
TL;DR
There is absolutely no logical reasoning for why anyone should buy normal 3-day boosters right now. Stack up on Omegas.

2500 Aurum Thanks So what to do? Stock up on Active Omegas or buy double the normal boosters Stock up cuz of events like this.. 2m sp is better than 1.5m sp which is better than 1m sp for sitting around holding your crotch.. But the question I have is when do you activate for this event to be effected by it?
CCP is going to be doing running checks to see what booster you have going and apply that to your reward. The first check will be immediately after downtime on Friday morning. The second check will be 6 hours later. I believe that is all they are doing so far but are discussing a third check 12 hours after downtime.
So long as your booster is running during one of these checks then you are good to go. So either activate it right before Friday morning's downtime or within 6 hours after the downtime.
This is no where close to an ideal situation and I foresee a lot of people complaining when they realized they did not have the booster on in time for one of the check ups.

Well, if you activate your Omega sometime later in the day on Wednesday it should still be running when they do one of their check-ups on Friday so you should still be set, just remember you still need to complete 10 matches over the weekend.
