my current skills with about...900k+ SP
Lvl 1 Rail Rifle
Lvl 1 Minmater Assault and Logi Suits opened
Lvl 1 Shield Extenders, Regulators, and Rechargers
Most of Lvl 1 Equipment Unlocked including sub-tier of profile dampeners, suit scanning range, and...the other one there i dont remember t the moment
I have hit SP cap for the week and have been running Minmatar FW with squads or solo depending and I have been doing OK. I am learning what works with what kinds of equipment with a logistic suit and assault suit. Minmater Assault suit seems like a Shield user for defenses. The rail rifle on my logistic suit seems to work better on my assault suits, as i get mowed down pretty fast on logi suit but i have a chance to do some dancing and run away to let shield repair itself. Getting a feel on how its going so far. I am a horrible frontlines fighter but i was correct in taking up logistics as i have an innane talent for getting people up on the front line and getting them ready and out before things get crazy. Quite a few times in ambush matches, we would win by 10 or so clones, and i know i've gotten up about 20 or so just going straight logi and made some nice points. I hit SP cap pretty fast, within 2 days of game play. I almost decided on starting on a second character to work on more SP but decided against it when I decided to give FW a try with my current skill setup. All those ambushes got me some expereince with the craziness of frontlines logistics. I let the people with the killer instinct run up and shoot the bad guys and i join in when i have no duties or am defending myself. I have discovered that a rail rifle is good for an assault suit, but while im defense with logistics duties, i got a mass driver with minmatar LP and have been using it better in support fire as it clears out and keep areas stalled long enough for teammates to reload and get a grasp on the situation. so i think when i have enough SP, i will invest into mass drivers Lvl 1 for my logi suit. Ill probably use rail rifles on my assault suit and see how it goes. i also have not unlocked any grenadeir skills (which i should) so ill be looking into that as well. as of this writing, i have reached rank 3 of the Republic Command and make about....400 LP with a win in Minmatar FW matches. In the "Learning Coalition" channel I have joined, there have been players looking for groups and they all have been oddly nice to interact with. I have recieved a few corp invites but i decline them all currently, as I am not looking for a corp at the moment. i have also noticed that there are alot of tanks roaming the fields in wide open area maps so as an effort to combat this, I have created a militia amarr heavy suit with a forge gun and harrass those tanks right back from the top of something high they cannot reach be back on easily. i cannot destroy the tanks, but when their shields get low, they take off running. seeing my teammates shoot at the tanks with their L weapons doesnt do anything to them really, mostly the tank's shields are down, THEN their ridles and such start doing some chipping damage. maybe if i had some grenadier anti vech ...uh...grenades i should maybe do more damage?......well...ive also noticed that shield suit users are quite faster then armor users. obvious. that would probably explain why you dont get alot of shield but it recharges quite easily; you can have alot of initial armor but it dont repair itself like a shield can, unless you have a buddy with an armor repairer or yuou have a armor repairer module equipped on the suit itself.....good idea to make those, but i figure that would cut into your offensive time if your playing defensive waiting for your armor to repair itself....kinda makes me happy i went into an assault suit that has shield defenses.....i have some questions though up to this point.
looking at caldari suits, they seem to be totally shield users, like minmatar suits, but with both suits at lvl 1 assault, Caldari have 2 high and 2 low slots, and minmatar has 3 high and 1 low. Caldari have higher base shield HP on their suits and minmatar has lower, but i guess the extra high slot makes up for that. the question is, are minmatar and caldari shield users equal "shield" wise? or am i missing something that the extra high slot minmatar assault suit gives it over the caldari suit? something im not seeing at the moment....hmmm....
im not a good frontlines player, so is my using a mass driver for stalling/area denial good for my role i have chosen? i tried a few LP plasma cannons and i didnt like those as there is one shot, then reload, and between shots, someone can run up on you while your reloading and merc you; that tells me the plasma cannon is a....different kind of weapon, more situational.... question here is, aside from mass driver, what other weapon can i use as a type of "support" weapon other than a plasma cannon?
i continue to run Minmatar FW for practice and run ambush matches for isk when i need it. i am realizing that i will, at some point, need to find others who play for the same faction as myself. im not really looking right now, as the learning coalition channel has poeple in it doing the same. I have also run into that player base who talk down on the lesser experienced players. i dont talk to them directly but they are pleased with my performance ingame and ask me how long i have been playing. i reply "less than a week" and they backpedal on their 'blueberry' bashing abit and tell me its mostly the ones who do not communicate and just blindly run into a fight without looking over the current situation, as it can change very fast. i am continuing to add people to my PSN buddy list to keep up squading partners, as squading up seems the best way the win if you have the contacts and sources. i suppose that is all i have for now. ill post another update next week at around this time... <3 <3 /angry <3
