I just recently learned that I had to activate my passive SP gain on this character and thus have lost out on months of passive SP.
How much SP is required to be even moderately competitive, and how does one go about making some money to buy all this expensive gear? I think I have around 600,000 isk right now but any time I run anything that costs me money, I just end up losing it and going negative for cash flow each game.
I've been doing a lot of reading on the skills and I'm thinking that I'm just going to spend points into skills that add stats to all my suits instead of trying to specialize right now, and keep getting my face smashed in in these starter fits to make some money, but its hard to even think of buying something to test when its so expensive and I'm only really earning around 100k per match.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Starter fits can do well if you put SP into core skills-shields, armor, cpu, and PG-and then into the weapon you like to use. There is no need to get into a prototype suit if you can't use the supporting modules and a good weapon. You can make ISK on standard suit and they offer more customization. Find a fit you like by experimenting with modules and still make enough money to turn a profit.
After making some ISK and saving some SP you can start to put some SP into skills that compliment your style. Don't jump around too much and it isn't as bad as it seems right now. A level one skill will let you get a feel for the item. The biggest thing I can tell you is to try to find a good group to run with, have fun and don't let it get you down. If you specialize in one weapon for a while it will perform better than a couple of weapons with only a few points allocated. Do what you like and don't chase the new special fit.
