Everyone is welcome in LC chat. As to the objectives you couldn't hack, it's possible that even though they showed red, they may have been hacked already. If this is the case, when you look at them you will see them slowly filling from bottom to top almost like a progress bar.

You can open your chat at any point (even in-game) by pressing 'select'. The problem is, you can't see when you get a response without having it open, meaning you're essentially helpless while reading.
What I would recommend if you have questions in-game, only check chat when you die, you have some time to read before you have to spawn in.
Also, I'm curious, how comfortable are you in the Heavy suit? Have you considered it might be the right one for you?

If you're experimenting with militia gear you're on the right track. You mentioned getting to Adv Cal Assault, I'm just curious what made you pick that, and why aren't you using the Cal Mlt suit to get used to the play style?
One of the most common mistakes for rookie SP investment is leveling up your suit before your modules. You can run Adv modules on a Std frame and get more benefit than an Adv frame with Std modules, less ISK too. If you're set on Caldari, get those shield extenders and rechargers to Adv before your suit, you'll have to figure out for yourself if you want to go with regulators or plates in your lows.

Cyrax, since you seem to have a good perspective on the Cal assault, which module do you feel andoori should get to Adv next (since he's already at lvl 2 on extenders). Personally I'd go with rechargers/energizers so he could keep a plate in the low for now, though admittedly I run Std Cal logi and have most my SP in Dropships.

You'll get better short term gains by doing one at a time, without hindering your long term progression. What do I mean by that? If you level up extensions, you get better survivability, making your SP grind easier (and usually more fun). It's a truism that you should level up the skills associated with particular items or equipment one tier at a time. The exception being certain weapons that require the intermediate levels to unlock, such as breach or assault variants.
However, core skills that modify stats with each level can be unlocked one level at a time and still be useful, such as your shield core skill that gives you an additional 5% per level.
Personally I look for max benefit vs SP investment, i.e. you get more HP for level 3 in armor plates than you do for the same level of armor core skill on most suits. That being said, the 3 levels of armor core skill are a better SP investment than the last 2 levels of plates. This is just the example I've number crunched, I'm not sure how it balances out with shields.
