You want t upgrade your armor and shield, and your CPU won'tPG before you commit to a role. Create alternate characters to try out different suits and weapons, you can always delete them and use the character slots as many times as you want. In the meantime, practice strategy and tactics with squads. Retreating and using cover are good tactics in this game. There is no use continuously firing at the enemy who is wielding a proto rail rifle on a tanked dropsuit. Stick with the group! You will get f*cked running out in the open alone. This game is a lot of fun if you're willing to development the skills to contribute to a squad.
No you don't.
What you want to do is find the most economic fit that you can earn the most warpoints with.
Warpoints = skillpoints and more isk. And if you don't wanna die of boredom through slowly grinding up core skills, you'll want to earn as much warpoints as fast as possible.
But you won't earn them by trying to act as a slayer (because almost everyone will be a more powerful slayer than you). What you want to do is getting into support equipment. Like reppers, nanite injectors, scanners etc.
Also, hacking earns you a good amount of warpoints. So spending some points into systems hacking would be a good idea.
Also you now have cloaks which help you even more with hacking since you can sneak almost unseen and keep watch of +ñn unguarded objective (I wish I had a cloak at the beginning of my Dust career)
So create a fit that you can afford to lose plenty of, but that maximizes your efficiency at some of the warpoint sources mentioned above, and start saving up skillpoints f+¦r improving your slayer skills.
Dealing with tanks can be done through spending skillpoints so you can at least use a militia tank with a railgun (Preferably a Sica with dual damage mods). If you're harassed by an enemy tank, spawn somewhere far away, call in your tank and try to catch the enemy tank off guard. Activate both damage mods right before you are about to start shooting, and learn to compensate your aim for when the target moves (if you try shooting at a tank going full speed from left to right you have to aim a little bit in front of your target to compensate for the projectile travel time).
Core skills are fine to train, but you need a good source of warpoints first, otherwise the sp grind will get more tedious than it has to be.
