I currently have both Gallente and Caldari advanced medium suits, about to get advanced Gallente Logi, have advanced scramblers, mass drivers, assault rifles, SMG, and flaylock (which I am beyond terrible with so switched to SMG). My shield and armor skills are mediocre at best because I keep leveling them up together.
Basically I get things to advanced and then move on to try the next thing.
Luckily I have been able to stay away from investing anything in vehicles because that would just ruin me and I would never get anywhere.
much love to foxfour, but I have to take this opportunity here to point out that you are doing it (a little bit) wrong. You're fine on not training proto suits, that's a huge SP investment, and with the suit bonuses being nearly worthless, its really not worth training the protosuit if you plan to spend significant time doing anything else (including using STD or ADV versions of that same suit). Not training proto weapons however (do at least your primary!) is unfortunate because those SP are well spent even if you don't plan to use the duvolle/freedom/boundless whatever. In other words... DAT PROFICIENCY SKILL. Basically suit bonuses are ****, the skill is a high multiplier, the weapon bonuses are always good, and they have a low multiplier.
Also, try a few Corp Battles against a top tier PC corporation, without using any proto gear... That might influence your perceptions just a little bit. And don't tell me you can't, CCP devs having hidden alter-egos inside active sov-warfare corps is an established tradition (if an occasionally decried one). |

Yes many of us now run proto all the time, and lose isk every pub match, but we also make profit overall because of corproation structure and pc. This is not the norm...
spent a few minutes last night just thinking about how much you made off us!  At least i took you down... once.
What are your thoughts on complex armor plates? I'm a bit reluctant to train them before getting my proto suit because I feel that in addition to the SP cost, i wouldn't be using them anyway on my basic/adv suits anway due to isk cost, fittings cost, and that goddamn speed penalty going from 5% to 10%.
