So that's what I forgot

Skills, two of them to be exact:  Hull Upgrades and Capacitor Management

What that means is that my placeholder alt is sitting in a Cheetah which is full of low slot modules he can't use.  The Inertial Stabilizers aren't a huge deal, but the Micro Auxiliary Power Core (MAPC) is.  Without that I can't turn on the MicroWarp Drive.  So essentially he's flying a CovOps and the only two modules that are active on it are the Covert Ops Cloak and the Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher.  It's enough to get by, but not optimal.

At this point there's not much I can do.  The account has lapsed and is no longer active.  Eventually I may re-up it for a month to deal with that, we'll see how things are going.  But now on to my main goal, the next adventure!

Plans are in motion, a ship has been purchased, along with most of the fittings.  I'm probably going to need some supplemental income to launch this adventure though.  I can buy the rest of what I need, but will be flat broke after that.  My main concern is insurance, I'll need Platinum for this because chances are pretty good that I'll get blown up and will need the payout.

So I'll probably take a day, possibly this Saturday while the wife is out with "the girls," and run some missions, collect datacores and anything else I can do to pad the wallet.  Then I should be prepared to start the adventure in the next few weeks.  I'll be running some test maneuvers in High-Sec first to ensure my plans are viable, but I think I'm going to try this even if they aren't.  The maneuvers involve finding targets, but the alternative is letting the targets find me.  Either way it's going to lead to a fight, but I'd prefer the version where it's on my terms instead of theirs...

RLS: I sit too much

That is actually one of the reasons I pulled the starbase down.  I sit in the car on the way to work, then 8 hours of mostly sitting, then driving home, then sitting at home.  Playing EVE is unfortunately less comfortable than sitting on my couch watching Netflix.  Despite the best efforts of my Aeron Chairs, both at home and at work, the couch still wins when I want to relax.

Really I should be out walking/exercising, and I do once in a while, but not regularly.  Sometimes I just stand, so that I'm not sitting.  Reading things like this really opened my eyes to what I needed to change.  That made it harder to play EVE.

I'm looking into getting a Kneeling Chair to see if that helps.

I'll have a new game-related post up in the next few days, hopefully.

And now off to do something where I'm not sitting...
