A lot of people have been trying to make your "N"-PE better. That guy donating a ton of ISK to you is one (though for the life of me I'd like to know how much he gave you heh heh!) If you'd like, message me in game and add me to contacts, I'll be glad to squad up with you on weekends if you happen to catch me on.

To be honest, a lot of things have improved since Day 1 (No crap!) I know you haven't been here since Beta like some of us--and Beta was basically sticks and stones, mind you--so all this SP and that SP and all these skills are a pain in the ass.

I get it, I feel you. I love how so many people tell you "get better get better!"

The damn question is, HOW DO WE GET BETTER.

And how the hell do we run militia fits that STILL allow us to earn money?

1) We gain SP while we sleep, so there, that's some FREE SP for you, without working. Come back in a month, and you'll have around 600,000 SP waiting for you.
--> Withi this newfound SP invest in WEAPON proficiency. Find a gun you like, first by using militia weaponry, then delve fully into that gun. Once you get Prof 5 (2.1 mil SP to cap a light weapon, I believe), thats 15% extra damage.

That means if you have a Basic/STD class weapon you get Prototype damage. That means you save money not having to buy expensive Duvolle's and/or equivalent weaponry. Of course, when you have enough money and choose to go Proto-stomping, then thats your choice to buy Proto weaponry.

2) Core Dropsuit Skills. You see that 5 tiered core skill tree after skilling into dropsuit skills? Max them out as soon as possible. These give you added bonuses to PG/CPU, Armor, and Shielding, as well as Sprint/Stamina.

I'd say focus on getting that Armor/Shielding up, that gives you extra 25% shields and 25% armor. Then, PG/CPU as that means you can fit better modules. Since militia/free fits have so little PG/CPU to start with, this goes a long way.

3) I understand you are a pilot as well--that means you fly, you can tank. Thats cool. Thats good. Basically thats your proto fit--militia tanks cost as much as a proto suit and guarantee you more armor/shielding than a Proto suit.

Arm it with the right modules and even MLT class tanks are wonderful things.

Anyways, talk to me ingame or message me.

This Russian will not disappoint.

MINA Longstrike 2Shitz 1Giggle United Brotherhood Alliance 453	Posted - 2014.04.09 22:10:00 - [1] - Quote It's more important to spec into powergrid / cpu, armor plates/shield extenders than it is to spec into suits or weapons... You can end up spending 2m sp to get your proto suit and go 'yeah everything will be awesome now' and then only have basic shield extenders / plates to put on it, or when you get the complex modules not have enough cpu/pg. the 'easiest' way to get into this game is to run militia caldari heavies (just skill 1 point into the HMG) and save up SP while you decide what you actually want to do.
