Right then, I've made and terminated a few characters these past three days, read and skimmed a couple guides, and had a lot of fun...at least until I was kicked out of the academy.
I was warned the game would get harder, I assumed it would....but I was not prepared for this.
The enemy seems invincible, their guns seem to kill in a single shot, and all and all, I'm looking at my screen with a look of utter disbelief.
Seriously though, how does a noob survive outside the academy while still being useful to his team? |

I see, I take it I won't be getting very good K/D scores for awhile? Or is it still possible to get kills while supporting? Do kill assists help K/D?
What kind of skills should I be focusing on? Currently I put most of my sP into increasing my shields for all suites and some into weapon handling with assault rifles. |

I know K/D isn't really important, I just like to maintain a good one in all games that I play.
As for playstyle, I guess just a general frontline?

Playing in an organized squad would improve your performace, so check the squad finder for open slots. I have made a guide about new characters too, check it out: Clone! - New Character Guide
I will read it, thank you. |

I guess you have a Caldari dropsuit, so it will be shield tanking oriented. Raise core skills for shield and shield extenders, but don't forget armour as well. You may be willing to have some local rep like an armor repairer module.

Currently an Amarr but I can make a Caldari if needed?

1) Join a corp.
2) JOIN A CORP.
3) Seriously. Join a corp. This game is not meant to be played solo. You can lone wolf it, eventually, after you learn the maps inside out and know where most of the engagements take place, and where you can find good cover, etc, but until then... join a corp. Lots of corps like taking noobs and helping them out, just look through the recruitment threads.

[quote=Alakay Klantyre]5) Don't worry about KDR, it means next to nothing in this game. The only thing that matters is the W. Some classes like logi frequently go negative -- yet they are orbital generators because of the WP they accrue. That guy on the winning side that went 3/10, and is at the top of the board with 2200 WP? Those are logis, and are critical to a team's success -- he's the reason you got pounded flat by orbitals 3 times during the match. Aim to be like him. Personally, when I play logi, I'm happy if I hit 1.00. That means that I was able to give as good as I got, which makes me the zero sum game -- I wasn't a slayer, but I didn't drag my team down either, and I still generated a buttload of WP during the match.
Another class that can go negative frequently is forge gunner -- I can easily go negative if I spend an entire Dom chasing tanks. If I go negative KDR, but we got the win because I was able to protect my squad by keeping 3 tanks at bay, but not actually kill any of them, does that make it a bad round for me? I think not.
In other words, KDR largely doesn't mean squat, unless you aim to be an assault slayer -- a "successful" match greatly depends on what class you are playing, and what role you were performing during the match.
W/WP?
I know there are times where something is more important that a good KD and I don't expect to have a good KD every match, but I'm coming here from CoD (which the more I look around the more I find other games give that a negative connotation, please don't hold it against me) and how good a person is there can generally be seen in their KD.
At the moment, just being useful indicates a good match for me :P The slayer thing sounds fun though.

2) Create a character on each account
3) Don't even think of playing any of them until they passively gain 2 million SP
4) Play on a throw-away account immediately and learn the game
5) Enjoy multiple characters in different roles with lots of passive XP from sitting and doing nothing for 6 odd months
6) Seriously, having a tanker, derpship pilot, scout, heavy, logi, AND a standard assault should you so choose is nice
Oh and (7) Realize all of this is useless because CCP sucks as a FPS game developer, grow bitter and finally rage quit.
That seems like abit much just to enjoy a game xD |

I'd like to thank everyone, I seem to be doing a lot better....I think....thanks to your all's advice and help. Many thanks I accord you.
I noticed Ambush mode seems to have a lot more people around my level, not sure if it is a fluke or something.
Also what does the security status mean? |
