Something I don't understand about the F2P model.

I just jumped into the game after about a 6 month break.

I seem to be unable to use some of my skills.

This causes me to be unable to fly ships I trained for.

When I trained for these ships I was a paying subscriber to EVE. Every minute of time that it cost to train these skills, I paid for...

And now I'm simply unable to use them?

Did I lose skill points? Am I missing something here?

You are missing that it's not a F2P model.
Alpha clones are basically an unlimited trial, with a limited skill set depending on race they can use.
So if you come back without paying, you are also limited to that skill set.
If you subscribe all your skills are still there, just currently unavailable.

You can't use those skills as an alpha clone, because if you could every single pilot would eventually stop paying or buying PLEX someone else paid for the moment they finished skilling for the ship they wanted to fly.

You missed this.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

This.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
