Oh, ok Char. I thought you were somewhere along the lines of that, but I wasn't positive. Good on you, them students need connections and money. #1 thing in DUST 514. Sort of. Not yet, but soon(TM).

Sometime during earlier today I got a chance to squad up with Sky, great player, truly. No mic available, but still able to play and follow orders (Or at least hear them. I actually don't give orders except to tell my location and plans), To anyone not in the Learning Coalition Chat, I suggest you look at that and squad up with Sky Kage for some fun. Each match we played was (surprisingly) a very balanced match and we won on almost every one.

So yup. <3 goes out to you, Sky, I'm glad to have you working with the Learning Coalition, and I'm sure you'll be able to share your knowledge with many people. Just say hello and ask if anyone needs help. :)

TL;DR, Sky is a great squadmate, you should squad up with him/her (Tell us for future reference and avoidance of awkward moments?), and if you aren't in the chat channel: "Learning Coaltion", you should join it right away. If you have anything you would like to show to our newer players, hit me up via in-game email and I'll gladly squad up with you and we can have some fun. :)

Sky Kage Last Word Productions 2	Posted - 2013.10.23 00:00:00 - [1] - Quote After quite a few games against the less fortunate newbies, i've decided to create a guide specificlly to help any new comers to dust 514. well here goes. Just Starting Out DO NOT SPEND ANY OF YOUR SKILL POINTS. This is very important, do not spend any of your skillpoints until you are absolutely sure you want the specific skill your spending it on. I Spent roughly 1.7m of my skill points into nova knives and let me tell you, that was a huge mistake. Buy atleast one of all the milita items.(You don't have to get the milita vehicles) this is key to testing out the various weapons and dropsuits/dropsuit modules avalible in dust, althought let it be noted that not all items have a milita varient avalable and you must spend precious SP(skillpoints) to use even the standard version. Play either faction warfare or basic public matches until you have roughly 750 thousand to 1 million total SP points, by this time you should have a rough understanding on how the game mechanics work and what weapons/playstyles best suit your character. You Should also have roughly 7-8 million ISK(ingame currency) SkillPoints -Depending on the roll you picked, if you enjoy killing your enemys i would suggest getting your Handheld weapon upgrades to level 5 and all of your dropsuit upgrades to level 2(Armour-Core-Shield). your weapon of choice should say at level 1 until you have reasonable shielding/armour. -If you decide on more of a supportive roll then i would suggest getting your dropsuit of choice to level 3 and getting the logistics suit so you will have more CPU/PG to enable you to have more equipment slots. The second important thing for you to get is your electronic and engineering skills to level 2(These are located in your dropsuit upgrades under Core upgrades) these will give all of your dropsuits even more CPU/PG to equip better equipment and modules. The most important thing to decide is weather you want to use shields or armour. - Shields are very strong Vs. grenades/explosives and slightly stronger then armour vs projectile weapons, but weak Vs. lasers and scrambler weapons. There is also no running penalty, and shields passively regenerate over time. - Armour is very strong Vs. lasers and scrambler weapons, but very weak Vs. grenades/explosives and slighty weaker vs projectile weapons. There is a running penalty when wearing armour modules and armour does not regenerate passively. the only suit that regenerates armour passively without any repairing modules is all mimmatar suits. NOTE- it is much more important for you to get your shield extenders to level 5 right away then it is for you to get your armour plating to level 5. Level 1 shield extenders give a small 22 bonus to shielding, while level 5 gives 66 extra points to shielding.(3 times as much) While armour only gives 85 armour at level 1 and 135 armour at level 5(50 extra armour) while lowering your running penalty even further. Corporations Getting into a corporation early when just starting out in dust is useful. It alows you to get into squads easier and winning matches in a squad is alot more likely then when alone. It also alows you to find veteran players that are willing to help you out on a specific thing that is troubling you. once you get experianced enough you will beable to join PC(planetary conquest) matches and get paid handsomely while doing so, but be advised. i suggest you have atleast advanced gear with proto modules or be in full proto gear to atempt this. IMPORTANT - If you are the type that likes to go lonewolf, don't be discouraged. you can do that but you wont get much praise from other players in a squad and if your the type that likes to steal vehicles or nanite inject(revive a dead teammate) players in the middle of a firefight, i can guarentee you that everyone will have a seering hate for you in they're hearts. so don't be shocked if you join a match and find yourself being targeted by a specfic person or squad because you destroyed they're 1m tank or revived them 3 times in a row midbattle. If you can be a team player while not squaded up go for it, but if not please squad up or GTFO Combat Here are some tips while in battle DO NOT BE RAMBO, this is not call of duty. you cant sprint towards any enemy with common sense and just melee them to death. DO NOT CROUCH, I see many new players doing this and it is a death wish in dust to crouch. the only time you should need to crouch is if you are sniping. [*] Get into the habit of switching to your sidearm once your primary weapon clip is nearly empty, if you reload during a firefight those 4 seconds you wasted could mean life or death.

I'm the social networking guy who gets new people into C and B-list corporations because I've been playing PC for long enough that people will take my recommendations seriously. Me and Lili kind of know everyone so we talk to recruiters and CEOs to find a good match for a student from the LC. I also do fundraising here and there. Basically, I get students money and a diploma. A lot of my ISK actually goes to noobs. I give out 7 million ISK a week to new players. Also, here is a link to the Learning Coalition page. If you think you will do well in our Coalition, please speak with Artificer Ghost, as he deals with that sort of thing. Looking forward to having you.
