And on a more obvious note - what does qq stand for?? I know it means moaning and whining and squealing but what does it actually stand for 
GÇ£All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.GÇ¥

Brick tanking is fitting the most possible HP on your suit.
QQ stands for Q.Q which is meant to look like someone crying. |

"qq" used to be written as "QQ" but has since been written in lower case because people are too lazy to use shift.
It's meant to be representative of a pair of eyes with tears coming from them.
And brick tanking is when you go for raw HP on both shields AND armour. It's a specific form of dual-tanking. |

Ah I see - and that is seen as a cheat or negative playstyle right? And if it is - where does it feature on the hall of shame - above or below FOTMing... Redline sniping... etc..

Okay I get the QQ thing now - very good!
On the brick tanking thing - I seem to remember the new player guides and the advice on the forums was you should do everything you can to make yourself harder to kill from the offset. Which is kind of encouraging a culture of brick tanking no??

I'd place them;
Redline Sniping
Brick Tanking
FOTM
None of them bother me too much, it's a meta game, people should do and play as they want. |

The problem with brick tanking isn't brick tanking itself, but that people are doing it to Scouts, which SHOULD be seeing more benefit to other builds rather than focusing on raw HP like that. |

A proto scout can get as much hp as a militia medium starter fit - is that really a problem?? Really??? |

Not for a good Scout who doesn't brick tank, but when combined with a cloak, it can get a lot of rage from Assault players who are used to 1.7's stupidly short TTK. |

am I a rookie still tho? I mean I would like the comfort blanket of being able to call myself a rookie - but at nearly 11m SP I fear I am entering the mid-tier and am still eminently slaughterable for the bigged up heavies/scouts/justaboutanyone brigade...

Send me a mail in game. I like helping out 'new' players from time to time. I'll help you get some suits fitted and run some matches with you. |

Great that's ideal - I'll be mailing you. Just so you know I've already spent my respec SP and am locked into Assault - which is often scoffed at on the forum if that makes a difference etc..

Brick tanking is the act of sellotaping bricks to yourself in order to be able to take more damage. It's very popular with the Minmatar.

Any suit is viable if you know how to fit/use it properly. I won't be on until much later today due to work. I'll send you my channel in a mail when I hop on later tonight and we'll get things situated. |

to an extent, but the fact remains that brick tanking seems to be the only way to go, it is even better for scouts to tank Hp rather than speed or Profile.

Essentially, brick tanking isn't as big a problem as it's made up to be.
You're sacrificing utility for combat prowess. I have some brick tanked fits, and some with more utility on them.

Brick tanking means you pack on enough defensive mods to withstand an AV scrub throwing a brick at you. Which is not very effective. We have swarms for that now.
