What advice would you give to the next generation of warsmiths?
I have to say I am a proud Amarr son who appreciates the psychological and visceral engagements Dust provides. I have heavy frames, assault suits, and logistics to back my team up. I can don all other suits and weapons at ADV level or better. The exception being Caldari medium frames for I never wanted to be like every other assault at the time. I do have a BPO dragonfly for making money in an ambush. Since 1.6 I have been strengthening my vehicle combat. Tanks alot. I should have ADS next week at around this time. I cant wait to see some Amarr machines out there.
I will get into individual fits later in the thread, if it takes off. I hope to bounce around some trade secrets. Most of all i want to promote diversity. FoTM blows.

Adapting to a battle is always a skill a top player needs. You can't expect to use your one super fit and always expect things to go your way. My go-to fit is the SCR/Amarr combo, but its not practical all the time.
Having fundamental knowledge is key. I suggest players say "f*ck to their KDR" and start experimenting with new suits. You may find something you're good at, or something you enjoy, or both.
I hated being killed by SCRs, then one day I used it, and I liked it. I was good with it, but also, the gun was fun because its a tad different than the other rifles. As I got better with it, I learned to take more risks with it. How many people will jump into a sea of red dots with a SCR and come out on-top? It hones your timing.
But, that set up has counters. Speed strafers are my worst enemy, as my suit is about as fast a glacier. It can't strafe for crap without sacrificing.
Enter the faster mediums frames. Like Minmater and Caldari(Gal is faster than Cal, but gets weighted down with armor), slap on a AR or CR and practice your strafe patterns. Noobs can't beat a simple side-to-side strafe, so that's a good place to start, than increase your skills into movement and learn figure-eights, circles, triangles, and X's(same as figure 8 actually, but I figures I was just copying the buttons on the DS3, lol).
Intimidation is key as well. If someone is shooting at you, and you dart right at them in a pattern, they will exhaust their ammo and usually panic, that's when you strike and go for the kill. Do not show fear, never play it safe, and you'll become better. I've seen players go from a concreted 0.60 KDR to a 2.60 KDR because they simply stopped caring.
