Am new to this game(22ish days, think my eyes are just starting to open) and have a few questions:
1)Why when I'm hacking a gun turret not far from our own MCC does a blue tank turn up and start popping missiles into said turret, they must clearly see me hacking
2) Can I do damage to my own team mates( i.e. said tank driver)
3) why can I hack some installations and not others (I assume a red installation needs hacking, blue have been done),however some reds I can't hack?
4)I currently use a militia heavy suit, survivability in any other suit is very poor at the moment.Another week and I should have enough SP to get an adv caldari assault suit. Am I missing something or is that the idea(i.e. noobs are put in as cannon fodder for the vets).
Thanks in advance |

Thanks guys for the quick replies guys
All makes sense re tank driver,thanks.
With regards to question 3 I was meaning those little screens A,B,C etc ,not the turrets
Have looked into the learning coalition but thought it would be worthless without a mic (on my xmas list) or is everyone welcome
Thanks again |

Thanks Lanius. Is there any way of asking questions in game without a mic?
Edit : have armor to level 3 and shields at 2 at the mo,just didn't seem to make much difference on a standard assault suit,hence I started using a militia heavy for the added HP.Thanks mate and hope to see you in the LC soon |

Also, I'm curious, how comfortable are you in the Heavy suit? Have you considered it might be the right one for you?
Not very comfortable at all, I tend to start with the free "black eagle" scout suit,get a few hacks in if I make the start of a battle then switch to a Heavy.I use the GEK AR/militia SMG so I'm not even getting the most out of the suit but it gives me the security. I've had a few positive KDR's (although none with any other suit) but it is very slow.
I try and follow other blues and stick with them but this can be hard due to speed/stamina. Also it depends who is on my team(If I get in a battle and I'm on team Caldari state I seem to really struggle for some reason?the team always gets battered).
I tend to hack a terminal then guard it as long as teammates are present,if no teammates about I then look for them as stealthily as possible,difficult sometimes when in a milk float |

Thanks Reav and Sky. Good info to take on board.
Not had much confrontation with scouts as I tend to stick to other blues but I'll keep a lookout for the lone wolves. |

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.
My race was the reason for the choice of suit,so many choices to make when you first join the game and I sunk points into suits instead of slots.I thought I could only use Caldari suits when I started(why else would there be races I thought) and when I realised my mistake it was too late,SP spent.
Have used the Caldari militia suit with little success,I put it down to lack of slots and low PG/CPU.I assumed (probably wrongly) that more slots would enable me more protection.I now know it does but is so small compared to armor/shield upgrades.
I wish I'd seen this site before starting up. |

CYRAX SERVIUS wrote:All solid advice. I have over 24 million sp invested into assault. Have proto minmatar and caldari racial suits. Core skills are extremely important as you want to be able to fit mods on your new suits.
One skill that they did fail to mention is shield regulation, even a basic shield regulator can do a lot for you as it lessons the amount of time it takes for your shield to begin recharging, which in turn gives your recharger a chance to start working a little earlier. Down the road hook a complex regulator with a complex recharger or energizer, good times...
Thanks Cyrax
I have shield upgrades at 3
shield extension at 2
shield recharging at 1
shield regulation at 0
Would you recommend pulling them all up together or concentrating on one at a time? |
