HgLiQuiD Emporea 0	Posted - 2013.09.18 10:46:00 - [1] - Quote Im new in this game, iv played it for like 2 days and i found myself pretty good at it, i love this type a game and this type of war The only thing i dk is this skill point, i put them on wep assault for like better handling assault and sharpshooter, and some more, and i buy it in market and iv train it, is that the way i need to do it, do i need to restock them every time i die or ? My 2 q is : When u make an account u get some bonus like 50 k of skill points and, when i finish every battle i get like 5 k sp with bonus, now when my bonus is over i get like 1 k sp, is that normal or its because i trained like 10 Skills ? Thanks Btw i love to be Assault class.
Yokal Bob G.R.A.V.E 280	Posted - 2013.09.18 10:58:00 - [2] - Quote Yes everytime you die you use one set of the suit, gear and weapon you used. Once you reach the weekly skill cap you can only earn max 1500 sp per match (1000 without active booster). Feel free to ask away if you have more questions
KGB Sleep Ikomari-Onu Enforcement Caldari State 240	Posted - 2013.09.18 10:59:00 - [3] - Quote 1. Nearly every weapon or module you buy from market = 1 use only. Each time you die, you lose the weapons and modules and 1 copy of your dropsuit. Restock. Have like 30 copies of what you want to use. The exception are [Starter] fits. They never run out. And BPOs which are permanent like [Starter] fits. 2. Yes that is normal. The weekly limit of SP has nothing to do with skills trained. The SP cap resets on wednesdays after server reboot. Hope this helps.
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 755	Posted - 2013.09.18 11:02:00 - [4] - Quote Use the [STARTER FIT]s as long as you can. Save ISK. Bankroll SP into Dropsuit Upgrades. They'll improve the performance of every setup you use in the game. Apply to Dust University in corporations. (Chat.D-Uni in Create/Join Channel) Kind of a training corp. Good players of all levels, good communication, and they occasionally have classes teaching things like Piloting, map tactics, etc. I wish I had known of them when I started. Good luck.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4061	Posted - 2013.09.18 11:10:00 - [5] - Quote Question 1: I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. When you spend your SP, they don't go away, no matter how often you die. If you train up all your skills in Assault Rifles, even your Militia Assault Rifle on the "Frontline" Starter Fit will benefit from those skills, and you'll never lose the SP you invested in making them better. If you mean the higher-quality versions of weapons/suits, wheny ou die while using them, yes, you have to replace those every time. The only exceptions are "Blueprint" or "BPO" items (both terms mean the same thing). BPOs are generally only available with Aurum (bought with real money) or from purchased packs, but there have been some given out as event rewards in the past. Question 2: You have a starting amount of SP when you create a new character. Also, each week you have a limit to how much "active" SP you can earn while you play. Your WP earnings in a battle count towards SP at the end of the match, and as long as you haven't reached your cap, you also earn additional SP for the time you spend in battle. Once you hit the SP cap for the week, you get 1 SP per WP only, and there's a limit of 1000SP per match. You can increase your SP earning, and your SP cap, by purchasing an Active Booster with AUR or buying a game pack which includes one, then equipping it in-game. The amount of skills you've trained has no bearing on SP earnings at all, only on how expensive the higher-tier skills they lead to will be and how long you have to wait to reach those skills. Also, your post is barely-coherent, hence my uncertainty about your first question. You should consider using full sentences and words in your posts. It makes it easier to figure out what you're trying to say.

Thanks Btw i love to be Assault class. You're doing what so many others do. You could have a decent MLT suit if you work towards getting your core skills up for the first couple of months. How I'd prefer to do it myself is get dropsuit core upgrades to 1, dropsuit electronics and engineering both to 5, armor and shield both to 5, get dropsuit core upgrades to 5 (that only adds 1% per level, so it's kinda pointless to sink 621k SP into right away). depending on which race you chose, work on getting your suit's main tank (shield or armor) skill to level 5. So if you're Caldari, start going into shield extension. If Gallente, you might want to skill into both armor plates and armor repair. Everything has an easier time going through armor compared to shield. I can't get on because of downtime, but at that, I'm only signing in to get the daily bonus because I'll be out all day, and I don't know when or if I'll get on when I get home. So I can't check other stuff. But weaponry skills should be secondary. I'd rather use a MLT suit with MLT AR, but have the core dropsuit skills maxed out. From the start, that will make you harder to kill. Oh, and always, always, always have an armor repair unit on your suit instead of a shield regulator. That self-repairing buffer could make all the difference.

LOL teaching piloting. They should ask experienced pilots to show them how to do it. Not a one-size-fits-all organization. I could do it if I have the patience. Normally I don't because Johnny Random wants to use my turrets to shoot the null cannon, or the enemy MCC (yes, I've had blue dots shoot at red null cannons. Dunno what he thought he was doing).

Btw im playing with Assault Starter dropsuit with Recruit Assault Gun. Thanks You only buy Skill Books once. Once you train the Skill, you can begin assign SP to that skill to a maximum level of 5. Once you assign SP it is permanent. You can not undo this, so assign your SP wisely.
HgLiQuiD Emporea 1	Posted - 2013.09.18 18:47:00 - [10] - Quote Oh ok, so if i have Max Ammo Capacity x1, I buy a skill book on marketplace train it, and i put more SP on Max Ammo Capicity x3 do i need to buy in marketplace skill book Max Ammo Capacity x3 or its just continues to my old skill book x1 ?! Thanks Once Again.

Btw im playing with Assault Starter dropsuit with Recruit Assault Gun. Thanks You buy the book, the have to go to your skill tree to specc into it. Though before you get guns or better Dropsuits get your CORE SKILLS Up to about Lvl 3. This means Shield or Armour skills (which ever one you prefer) to an acceptable level so you can have passive bonuses and make use of good modules.
HgLiQuiD Emporea 3	Posted - 2013.09.18 18:52:00 - [12] - Quote Oh so i make a mistake here, iv put my all skills to Wep Skill tree :/ Not even one to dropsuit.
Musta Tornius Cannonfodder PMC 594	Posted - 2013.09.18 18:57:00 - [13] - Quote You can always make a new character if it bothers you but it won't be a big deal if you stick with the game. Myself I have 17 million SP distributed mainly over weapons, dropsuit upgrades and some dropsuits (amarr heavy and sentinel and caldari assault one level). It really pays off to be careful with how you distribute SP. If you spread it around too much you won't make an effective soldier, you're better off trying to really specialize in something. This shouldn't stop you from trying new stuff however, training a single level in any skill is fairly cheap so don't let that stop you. Remember, you gain SP passively, namely 1000 SP each hour for doing nothing as long as you got passive SP turned on to your character (you can only have it on one character per account). Finally, if it really bothers you just get rid of that character and start a new one, it's not like you've played for long anyway. Also, this post will be moved to rookie section soon by a moderator so expect it to be there :P (you posted in the wrong forum). Feel free to make new posts in the rookie section and do have a browse in there, lots of threads about problems you're having from people who have been at your stage in the game.
