To add to the things I tried:
- Updated Spybot S & D, ran a full check, removed all suspect apps.
- Did a full system scan with updated virus software.
- Checked Windows for critical updates.
Nothing worked.
THEN...MAGICALLY...at about 2am CST, I logged in and, lo and behold, it was FIXED. Nothing in my petition messages from the GM's gave light to anything they had done on their end. It just...worked. All skills back, all ships working properly, all implants showing. Abracadabra.
I added a messege to the petition stating as such and got a response about five minutes later saying, "great to hear you're not having any problems anymore. I'm closing this petition."
Not, "we're still working on it," or "we're still not sure what happened, but we're tracking it down," or even "Good. We tried x y and z and we're happy it worked."
So...now I'm completely gunshy about docking at my home station unless its five minutes before downtime. No resolution at all.

Yeah but it'd sorta defeat the purpose of having a cache to begin with...

A cache is a data store where frequently accessed information that rarely changes is kept, so you don't need to download the data every time you play.
So, deleting the cache before each login would rather defeat the purpose of having one.

I cannot confirm this as a bug. However I have checked your bugreport, and while concise it was missing one thing that would be useful: a logfile of this happening. I realise that getting a log of this is difficult due to the seeming random nature of the occurance, but if you could get one and file a second bug report it will help us check into this.
Also (and I understand the scepticism shown towards the comment) clearing cache is always a good starting point, as we see many issues reported that are 'merely' caused by a corrupted settings file in the cache.
Maybe Eve needs a "clear cache" button on the login screen which wiped everything from the cache except settings / BM folders?

My cache cleaning tool can do that for you  . It has a launcher included that will clean your cache with the specified settings and then launch EVE.

something similar happened to me today i was out npcing with a corp m8 and i was noticing my raven's torps were only goin out to 42 k when i should have a max range of about 80 and my freinds were goin 60 k max when he has way lower skills then me so i docked check teh stats on my torps and my launchers. the stats were showing as if i didnt have any skills to enhance my ship so i relogged was still the same so i stripped my ship was still the same. I had to swap ships and let eve reapply the skills to get my actual stats. took about 10 minutes to get everything to work but its an obvious bug and needs to be fixed!

The first three times, this only affected me when I docked at Keba.
Now, I'm out in the middle of 0.0. I had logged out at a safespot earlier. When I logged back in, the client hung on CHECKING NAVIGATION SYSTEMS.
I tried again, only to see that half of the turrets on my megathron were offline. I KNEW what had to have happened. Sure enough, I'm down to 10 million skill points (instead of over 120 million) and 78 skills (instead of 140).
I CANNOT PLAY THIS GAME LIKE THIS.
CCP WTF????

I just had a corpmate completely geographically removed from my location try and log in.
Exactly the same problem on his end as well. So please don't hand me something about it being on my end. If it is indeed on my end and somehow I'm altering the detabase that keeps track of skills and abilities, doesn't that mean the entire game is wide open to hackers as an earlier poster said?

This might just be a stab in the dark, but a friend has similar anomalies, which started off with cap recharge acting very strange, running out of cap when nothing was happening etc.
It turned out that his PC clock was out of sync with the Eve Clock. Being in the UK means we are at GMT too so its much easier. but it might be worth checking to make sure that the time is correct for you time zone and also the localisation settings are correct e.g. GMT+7 or whatever.
Like I said just a stab in the dark, might be worth checking.

I had a similar problem several months ago, i went from about 3 million skill points to about 1.5, relogged, down to 500k, relogged down to 64'000 skill points. I was training electronics 5 at the time and a GM confirmed that i was still training electronics 5, even though i was down to 3 skills (from about 60) and after the following downtime, it fixed itself completely.
Its a very random and weird bug. I cleared my cache and tried a frsh install, nothing worked until the DT the following day. Never had the problem again since.

where is the clear cache button?
It apparently seems to be the fix-all but I've never been able to find it.

This just happened to me... I noticed I no longer have Instant Recall level 5. I may be missing some other things but I'm not sure. I tried relogging, clearing cache, and rebooting and nothing fixed it. Now I am reinstalling the client to see if that does anything. It seems like it is a server-side bug.
I tried petitioning it from witin EVE, but after sending the petition I get an error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_charset() in /cgi-bin/eve_online.cfg/scripts/enduser/acct_new_mb.php on line 21".
I am so annoyed by these bugs!

Yes, there is an issue sending a petition in-game at the moment.
Please use the ask a question link instead.
I take it you haven't been pod-killed recently ?

Have had this happen to me a few times over the last few months, so its not a new thing, just (for me at least) relatively rare and irregular.
Every time I had it (about 4 or 5 total) quitting the game and relogging cleared it.
GMT timezone with an accurate PC clock, not been podkilled recently or owt else, just suddenly down to a fraction of my skillpoints and all my mods off line.
Nasty :(
edit: forgot to say, didn't clear my cache or anything either, just relogged. Problem not there on the relog. SO, meh... I have NO idea what it could be :)

Why I would normally agree this is a logical first step, he says he unistalled Eve, scandisked + defraged, then installed a new Eve from a fresh download. I think this might not be related to the cache. I've had it happen once on Singularity, it was very peculiar, was fixed the next day though.
