Does your corp pay for you to play or do they just hord all of the Isk from PC battles. Not everyone's corp does PC battles, and not everyone in a corp that does PC battles partakes in the battles themselves. My corp does PC battles but I personally have just under 9M SP and due to poor skill choices early in my DUST career I am nowhere near having a proto fit. As such, I do not take part in PC battles. PC battles are where the proto gear comes out and the combat is no holds barred. But if you were a full out proto and you we're to participate in PC battle would your corp pay for all of you stuff.

If you can get yourself up to 20m or so you should consistently stay around that area unless you're a ADS pilot.
If you're having ISK issues try;
Not running proto 24/7.
Use free suits in pointless battles.
Don't play ambush during Nyian San peak hours.
Run with competent people/squads.
Last but not least;
STOP DYING SO MUCH. |

Most corps, minus top tier corps, don't pay players for participating in PC. The ISK gained from PC is usually through ringing for other peoples corps. If you're good enough I'm sure you could make it into a corp that pays players for PC'ing. At this point relying on ISK from PC is not a viable tactic as there is a giant blue doughnut sitting on 3/4 of MH. |

Where do I even start?
1) The cost of my prototype Logistics suit can reach 300K
2) Lag
3) Lag-bombing
4) Remote Explosives
5) Proto-Stompers
6) 16 Q-synced team vs. 16 random blueberries
7) Tanks
8) More tanks
9) Assault Dropships
10) Thale Snipers
11) Shotguns
12) random locus grenade
13) Exploding nearby vehicles
14) OB's
15) Warbarge Strikes
Need I go on? There are too many ways to lose an expensive suit and too many aspects of the game fighting against you. If you want, reply to this and ask for an extended list and I'll get right on it.
Sincerely,
Your Multi-purpose Everything User

Sorry that was a pretty general response. Honestly, it works. Just don't die. Don't put yourself in situations where you will die. Clear objects of enemies and uplinks before hacking, don't stand out in the open, use cover, don't engage outside of your optimal, don't engage an opponent head on if he has the advantage. All general common sense to any FPS player IMO. |

How can you play other wise put on a starter suit and hide for the game that's not fun everyone is running proto and if people say other wise I don't think your playing the game
I have 30+ Mil SP and run a suit that costs 11K almost every match, sometimes i pull out my 18K suit, and on rare occasions I pull out the 258K suit |

I'm a lone wolf (usually play solo, in my own corp, blah blah blah) and don't have many issues keeping the ISK flowing. I'd recommend adopting the mindset of, "Don't die" versus "Kill everything"; you'll die less, lose less gear, and thereby save more ISK. Even if this means you have to sacrifice the number of kills or WP you earn per match, it should be worth it since you clearly need to prioritize ISK earning over improving gameplay stats.
My other dropsuit is a Python.

I am starting to run out of ISK after having a decent amount for a long time. 99% of the losses I've had are because of dropships, and once I run out of money I'll probably either stop playing or go to a corporation that can pay me enough to keep me flying without having to farm ISK. |

I vary my suits from 5k ISK to 55k ISK depending on the game. I'm nearly always on the boards. Typically top 5.
EDIT: But my favorite weapon costs 10k...so my average fit is usually ~30k. While I have down games every once in a while I'm always ISK-positive long term.

When I played Dust, I used suits that were between 2,500 and 11,000 ISK, regularly finished in the top 3 and died less than 6 times per match. If you skill up in the right skill tree branches (electronics, armor, etc) you can build some outstanding suits with militia and lvl 1 gear.
I was netting at least 175K per match. I gave away over 75 mil ISK and quit playing because the game developers suck (i.e. break things that were already working, nerf weapons without granting a weapon respec, didn't fix player experience issues after the community repeated them each release, etc.)
Here are some builds that I used:
Harvester: BPO Gallente Frontline, Combat Rifle, militia nanite injector
Pilot: BPO Gallente Frontline, R-9 uplink
Smooth Operator: Militia Minmitar Light, Assault Scrambler Pistol (x2), Miliia Profile Dampener, Militia Cardiac Reg, Flux Grenade
Ranger: Militia Amarr Light, Complex Range Amplifier (x2), Militia Precision Enhancer, Combat Rifle, Assault Scrambler Pistol, Flux Grenade
Medic and Sniper BPOs are both acceptable so completely free.
I made a cheap AV with Militia Minmitar Light, CBR, Packed AV grenades, Assault Scrambler Pistol
All of this stuff is cheap cheap cheap. Is the game harder playing with cheap gear? Yes, but if you accept that the reason you lost a shootout was because of gear, not player skill, then it's a little easier to swallow.
