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  The account has lapsed and is no longer active.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...
