How the hell do you do this?
I used to run in squads a lot, and this is a huge change for me. How do you all cope with the terrible team mates? When you're the only one trying, or the only one that's even any good on your entire team?!
I need help.

I can't do much with a Logi suit and a Python (I lose one EVERY MATCH I BRING IT OUT ;_;), but I guess I could help out a lot with my Tank. :D

I find it very ******* boring, and a waste of my time.

I have been trying to find a squad that actually plays as a squad. Most pub stompings occur because the other team is in fact running a tighter nit squad than the other.
I don't want to corp jump just o find squad mates, so here are some solutions:
Direct Action Response is a corp that has a pub channel, DAR REC, they are centered to running squads and using military tactics. They are new, and not much action is in their pub channel yet, but in time I hope it grows. The few times that I ran with their CEOs I had a great experience.
ConantheCimmerian runs a great squad in the TSF pub chat channel.
And I own a chat channel TEAM LOKUN. The whole point of my channel is to improve squad formation and simply gather people who are great squad players. This channel is new still and I have not yet had the time to get everyone in the channel on the same page, but their are some great players in there. Sorry, but I'm not looking for chats to find squads in.

Nothing Certain wrote:Being flexible makes it funner I was making my character more flexible for PC (although I guess now that's pretty pointless), so I have a Logi suit, a Tank, and an ADS (with maxed Shield skills and Small Missile Turrets). :D I can be flexible, but I only have one infantry role.

Drop the 49k sp it takes to buy an assault suit in your logi tree. They are 3k so who cares if they get grinded into paste by the protos, eventually you will learn to kill the protos and you will be doing so at an isk advantage. I already have Amarr Assault to level three.

TYCHUS MAXWELL wrote:Pfft Proto is for PCs which you won't be doing alone. You never need proto in pubs, and the only times it may make a difference (When you are fighting double stacked proto squads) it's unlikely the rest of your disorganized team will make it just ending in you losing a lot of isk in proto gear. ADV is good enough for pubs. Well, I used to do a little bit of PC, so having a Proto infantry role was necessary.

How do I cope with ****** teammates? I start focusing on hacking and placing uplinks. More often then not, the worse my team is, the more **** there is for me to hack and the more WP I can get from uplinks. Unfortunately, farming WP in public matches and not trying for the objective is frowned upon by certain people in the Dust community.

I may not be sprinting at it like a dumbass, but I'm putting in good spawn points, hacking CRUs, and HACKING UNGUARDED OBJECTIVES. More often then not, I still contribute more than you useless frontliners who've never heard of defense. Don't flame at me. :( I said 'certain people in the Dust community'. :(

After a while you no longer notice that there are other people on your side and start doing everything yourself. Only TBA is allowed to call me a noob.

Thanks to everyone's help, I successfully ran solo and didn't do completely awful against a squad of Nyain San. :D I feel so accomplished. :D
I even bothered to take a pic of it, because this is a major accomplishment for me (Lol, in a video game ). Yeah, pretty pathetic. ^^

They are easy to JLAV as well. It's like they never expect it. I only find it as an accomplishment because kaizuka sniper (one of their A-Team players) was on the other team and I managed to kill him three or four times.
