Like the title says, these are my thoughts on the game at 1M SP. Going to break this up into a couple posts to avoid one massive wall. That said, *begins typing next post*
I would rather die my way than live by yours.

NPE
Made a thread a week ago about my first day in New Eden. More or less saying how the majority of the playerbase is tough to kill, but I was willing to stick it all for the long haul. That hasn't changed, as I've combed the forums a bit (found the Rookie Training Ground. Awesome that it's here.) , and joined D-UNI. Having done so, I think I may have avoided what many new guys have been forced to play through. While I do enjoy playing solo, playing in a squad is the way to go. Going to mention the Pubstomping later, but It's much more fun to have a group to play with. Even if you are being pushed into your own redline. D-UNI has provided that, along with Dennie's frequent mails which sometimes contain helpful tips.
I doubt I would've found them if I hadn't found the forums like I said earlier. Having a notification on where to head right out of the Academy would have been nice. Though I've discovered that part of the experience of playing in New Eden is about finding your own way around, and that this universe isn't for every player.

On the Ground
Said I was going to mention Pubstomping. Here It is.
Dear lord, some of you asshats don't let up. Several times I have been mauled by a pack of rabid proto's while playing solo and with a squad. Solo doesn't bother me nearly as much, as that is expected. I also know most have a massive amount of SP into their suits and roles, but watching a whole team be decimated by one squad is discouraging. It's even worse when one side is stacked with 2 squads from the same corp.
That said, the rare matches when somehow your team of randoms manage to beat the stacked team is oh so satisfying. Watching that one squad be swallowed up in a blob of blue is hilarious. Especially when that last guy tries to run. Knowing there is a slither of hope behind all those black suits is encouraging.
When each side is relatively even is where Dust shines. Both teams going back and forth over letters is a blast. Having both sides collide into one epic firefight for that last point is a major highlight. Even a loss in these close fought battles feels like a win, knowing that it came down to the last clone on the field. Then having to restock on your suits after a match like that is what sets Dust apart from the rest.

Currently speccing into Logi. Though depending on the suit changes and a respec in 1.8 that may change. I might look into DL

They gave you 500k to start with. Isn't the cap 180k a week? I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure two weeks doesn't make it to the half million required. It would be more around somewhere in the third week assuming he capped out the first two weeks.
I caught the tail end of the triple SP week.
