Eve Online... Alpha's but not those Alpha's

With the tapering off of activities on my newer "pre-trial" Alpha's, the release of the expansion and Alpha clones proper has seen me spreading my Eve time around a lot of characters.
I got to micromanage my heart out the last day or so with getting two Alpha alts through the career agents. I drew the line at getting them through the SOE epic arc. That would be a long step too far.
Both are my pre subscription trial characters. Both are now neatly tucked in a station training the remaining Alpha skills left to them.

I've fitted out a combat frigate and destroyer, as well as a mining frigate, exploration frigate and Haulers. Once some skills are done I'll equip and fly a Caracal cruiser to add to the bunch.
The keep container (I'm all about keeping stuff) holds the free festive launcher and its flares, I know there will be more to "keep" added over Christmas. All in all not a bad setup for a low level pve toon.

I know I said this before but....
The fewer the skills to learn the less I am likely to actually use the alt's.
Long term I see no reason to have them outside of nostalgia and being able to have them spare.
Of all these alts I may end up only using my pre-alpha 60 day new account character which is currently still an Omega.
I can foresee a lot of people doing the same. Leaving them once they are done and not returning.


I'm surprised at the number of players in the game this weekend. It's all looking up.

The starter systems as well as the career agents systems are full of player "interactions" in one way or another.
Most via local chat, new players helping new players, old players helping Alpha's and some of all ages and clone types just killing anything they see.
Thankfully I was only targeted once on a character and was shot at only as I warped off.

evehermit's post was an eye opener for me: https://evehermit.wordpress.com/2016/11/15/clubbing-kittens-and-seals-and-puppies/

I've had a list of things to lookup/update/get and do on my "mains" once the expansion/update brought it's changes but I've been putting that job off. The inability to hop into a ship to see the fit is a deterrent but I could still be moving assets around etc. I've not had the motivation with all the alts I've been tending to. Maybe in the next week or so. Motivation will be hopefully lifted once the twice delayed "gifts" are redeemable.
