I have a little "problem"/"nuisance" since 1.4 with my wallet and somehow i'm curious how other people handle this.

As for myself. I use Adv fittings most of the time and usually get around 10-15 kills and 3-5 deaths. Thats usually being in the top 5 and i think 200-300k isk per match. (I-¦m only playing public matches as i don't want any corp commitments at the moment. I don't have much time to play and i don't know how well PC matches are paied out.)
I usually do domination or sometimes skirmish as it feels like my team always gets rushed by well organized squads in ambush and i don't have any fun there.

I guess my biggest problem is that i usually run heavy suits and some matches go really bad with 3 kills 10 deaths.
And i don't stop using Adv gear even if the match goes wrong. I mean, if everyone switches to cheap gear it's going to be even worse, isn't it?

Until 1.4 i have always been isk positive but now my wallet is going down step by step.
It's not a lot and i can always go for free fitts but somehow this feels wrong.
I mean, i-¦m thinking about going proto heavy or logi soon but thats even more isk for a fitting that's a little bit better. (btw heavys die way to fast compared to the dropsuit cost ;) )

So, am i the only one having this problem?
Am i doing something wrong? (Do i have to join a corp and do PC in order to switch to proto? Should i be in the winning team more often?)
Do you switch to cheap fittings if the match goes wrong or do you stay with your Adv/Proto gear?
Do you stay in your corp squad in order to die less?
Do you use the best fitt you can and keep your wallet stable. Or do you go cheap and get rich? ;)

join my corp, we have a 95% corp tax rate. we are very friendly. also offering saving services and other banking options.

I cant remeber the last time I came out isk up. It's either lose with free fits and get isk. Or win with pro fits and take heavy losses brill gameplay design ccp you guys have a strange concept of fun

If you want to play n your own DUST isnt the game for you. There is a massive emphasis on teamwork, so if your not in a squad your instantly putting yourself at a disadvantage. As such you will die alot.

So either you run cheap BP suits, die more but cost less.

Or you find a corp.

Your best bet is to design a cheap fit that you can use to make money. For instance, I use a BPO suit with a GEK and M1 locus nades. I do ambush and sometimes objective based modes. But mainly ambush because its quick. No matter what I keep running the cheap fits when I'm farming.

If all gear would pay for itself, the game would become even more "grind to win". Right now the high end gear is roughly balanced by the fact that you either can't run it in every match, or at least you have to be super cautious not to die. The balance seems about right to me.

The only thing that bothers me is that it encourages bringing out your best gear only in favourable situations, to milk the match for all it's worth... While in an even or losing battle, people switch to their cheap gear and thus exacerbate the situation. That's the part of the game design that is broken IMO, and could do with some serious consideration. I don't know if there is a good answer to it though, other than to find alternatives to public matches (PC is not enough!!).

That's only if your bad the good players can easily go solo and win the match.In fact i just went 33/1 this morning in my proto suit solo.

300k isk payout and i only died because i got too greedy.

To grind out for isk i run a Militia Minmatar light, CRW-04, Locus, Stable Uplink, Enhanced shield Regulator, and Basic armor plates. The whole fit costs 16,060isk and i do really well with it. On a bad day i could die like ten to fifteen times and still come out positive after a match. Im also a heavy but currently they're really hard to get kills with and stay alive for more than six encounters.

I cant remeber the last time I came out isk up. It's either lose with free fits and get isk. Or win with pro fits and take heavy losses brill gameplay design ccp you guys have a strange concept of fun

shhhhh.... don't tell anyone... MLT gallente medframe... adv armorplates.... STD AR... sshhhhhh be quiet... over 600 hp total.. 10k ISK

Or go 22-0 with advanced fits with a Duvolle...
