PARKOUR PRACTIONER R 0 N 1 N 1141	Posted - 2014.04.15 07:01:00 - [1] - Quote Ok, I'm just going to give you a list of my Skill books Dropsuit Upgrades 4 Biotics 5 Kins Regs HTH 3 Core 5 PG/CPU 3 Gallente Scout 3 Here's the problem. I'm SP poor ATM, so I cant max my pg/cpu so I cant fit what I want, and going negative 75% of the time I cant afford to run better gear. Until I get the 2.5mil SP to max my fittings, I can run only but so effectively. I have a lot more skill books obviously but I'm considering not playing for a bit just so I can get my SP up so I can get what I need, THEN I can get and fit what I want. Or just run militia blueprints all the time and just rake in every little SP and ISK I can. What should I do? This is the worst, and being a scout these things are a NECESSITY.

SPACE SYPHILIS Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 111	Posted - 2014.04.15 07:06:00 - [4] - Quote I am at the worst point myself. I have over 44 million SP and have maxed out all the skills in drop suit upgrades, 3 proto suits and 9 proto weapons and still have 400K left over. I am at a horrible place for I want to use the SP but there is nothing I want. I know you and I are at different points, but we are at a same point and that is we are stuck and only time will help us. Good luck.

Only get your cores to 3 or so, then focus on gear For a scout i would suggest skilling : Get cloaking 1 Main weapon(shotty, rifle and sidearm) to level 1 Niche weapons to 1(laser rifle, mass driver, plasma cannon) Getting armor/shield mods to 3 is almost necessary: you need a Ferroscale or an extra repper depending on what you're aiming for. Hope that helps abit, OH and also get Demolitions/remote explosives. General John Ripper is my 2nd best friend!

True, but currently you don't have the proto mods to warrant requiring to fit proto mods on a basic suit. Focus primarily on your passive scan skills, then once you need pg For kincats, level it. If you need CPU for those precision mods, skill it. Until then focus on getting combat ready: Promary weapon, be it shotty or rail rifle or CR, skill it to 3. Secondary primary, the one you'll fal back on in your fittings for when your primary is LITERALLY useless(imagine trying to shotty on Manus Peak or the new bridge map)-shudders- Sidearm: get at least 2-3 of these to lv1, mlt doesn't help you. Damage mods- as controversially bad as they may be, 3% is still better than nothing. Focus on bringing to this to 5 eventually, as it lowers CPU cost of damage mods.

Stay strong buddy. The fuk are you on about? Core skills are the best skills! Especially fitting skills! The first major priority for anyone should be max core skills. Parkore, I feel you brother, finishing out the core is quite the grind. I'd say play it by ear, squad up as much as you can and have some good laughs! I'm out of country for the next couple of weeks otherwise I'd offer you a gun in my dropship, it makes you quite a bit of isk now might be a good time to save money for your fansy fits. Good luck o7 I'll see you when I'm back!

Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1916	Posted - 2014.04.15 09:50:00 - [11] - Quote make a skill plan and stick to it dude. its quite possably the hardest part of the game... not spending your SP on any ole thing and saving it to stick to a skill plan. im grabbing proficiancy 5 in my combar rifle and my knives, then im grabbing everything minmatar i dont already have at ADV, then im maxing out ADV fits by protoing weapons and getting my proficiancys to 4, then my dropsuits to proto, then my sub weapon skills (reload, ammo, fitting if i diddnt need it for maxing out the ADV) i already have all of my cores max and almost every equipment to proto.... but i still have loads to get before im satisfied

I refuse to grind so when I get bored with the slow char development, then I simply put down the controller for a month. Running BPO and uber cheap suits is also a great way to rack up both ISK and SP while honing your basic battle skills. I rarely run a suit over 6k and I have tons of fun getting kill chains and usually finishing in the top 3 each match. .

I'd have to die hundreds of times to go in the negative for ISK. As for SP... well, we have a x5 SP event starting tomorrow. Buy an omega active booster and go to town.

Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 2253	Posted - 2014.04.15 13:31:00 - [22] - Quote That's good enough in my opinion. What do you want to run? Cloak? Lol The Gallente Scout has plenty of CPU/PG at your levels. I also have cores 5 and Electronics/Engineering 3. On my STD, I can fit a CPX and ENH kincat with STD shotty and smg and CPX Shield Extender. I don't use grenades or equipment on that suit, though. I really have no idea why you can't play with what you already have. Fit what you like. If you speed tank, use dual ENH kincats for now on a STD scout, that way you don't waste a lot of money. You'll have enough to use whatever weapons you want.

If you played in the last event you will get a bunch of SP (if you were playing in a commando suit). Maybe not 2.5M, but a nice chunk if you did well. Unfortunately you just learned one of the big lessons we all learn: choices have consequences. And SP spending is a choice. Besides, the SP event is starting tomorrow. You could get a butt-load of SP over the next week. Maybe not 2.5M, but a nice chunk if you do well. Munch Minmatar Patriot (Level 7) Dedicated Sniper
Sleepy Shadow L.O.T.I.S. D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 126	Posted - 2014.04.15 14:45:00 - [25] - Quote PARKOUR PRACTIONER wrote: Sleepy Shadow wrote: What are you trying to fit on your ADV scout? Not running ADV anymore cant afford it. I am still curious. Even if you cannot afford it now, what are you trying to fit on your ADV scout? Gallente scout is very easy to fit; most mods that you would use on it are very effective even at basic level. Even tanking HP is cheap; basic plates have minimal CPU/PG/ISK requirements. You can quite easily make 10-20K ISK suits that are highly survivable. While Electronics and Engineering are important, they are very costly. Just going from level 4 to 5 for both will cost you 1.5 million SP. And when you finally have them, they are not going to help you save ISK if you cannot survive in your suits. Slapping better mods on your suits is only going to increase the ISK lost when you die. If youGÇÖre losing money now, you will be losing more after you have your CPU/PG maxed. For your SP level, IGÇÖd say level 3 is good, 4 if you can afford it and 5 is unnecessary, for now. Also, if you need CPU, weapon skills help with that as well. For example, light weapon operation lowers the cost of CPU of all light weapons 3% per level. I have all but heavy weapon maxed, so my grenades, main weapon and sidearm all consume 15% less CPU. No help for PG thoughGÇª .ß¦óß¦î+ÿ+ÿß¦ÿß¦Å ß¦ó+ê+æß¦åß¦Åß¦ë - -Æß¦£ß¦îß¦îß+¦ Qß¦+ß¦Çß¦îß¦ë-ô-ù-+ß¦å ß¦áß¦Éß¦Ü+½ß¦â.
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 3628	Posted - 2014.04.15 15:09:00 - [26] - Quote Before I hit 10 million, I just peppered my SP all over the place like that. A little in every weapon and every suit class hoping to find my niche. From around 10 - 15 million SP I was laser focused on one main weapon, one suit class, one sidearm. I did the MLT/Starter Fit grind, saved until it hurt, and then one day I spent it all. I immediately felt competitive. At 25 million, my CPU/PG are still at 4/3. The Operation skills that lower your CPU/PG usage are easily more valuable. Make your available equipment work better together instead of forcing higher meta on weaker builds. Strength in continuity.

Good luck o7 I'll see you when I'm back! I agree with Pvt Don't listen to the others, GET YOUR CORES FIRST. Why? With good core skills, you can make your ADV suits shine. With good skill, you can take an ADV fit and have it compete with Proto's (Not on the same level, but you are in the ballpark). Yeah, the grind is hella long. I didn't even get my first proto suit until around 22mil SP. However, once I had that suit, I had everything I needed to fit it. And by then, I really felt like Proto was superfluous. That being said, you don't need to MAX core skills right out the gate. Getting them to three is what you need, and get them to 4 if you really need to. Don't worry about getting Electronics/Engineering V until you AT LEAST have a Good Light weapon with Prof, Good sidearm with Prof, all of your NECESSARY SKILLS (As a scout, that would be dampening V and either Speed or eWar) up to where you want them, and your suit up to III.

Everything Dies Inner.Hell 649	Posted - 2014.04.15 15:22:00 - [29] - Quote If playing like a scout is making you broke, change things up and tank your Gallente scout; you'll basically have a faster, more mobile medium suit with the added bonus of an extra equipment slot. This really pays off if you have at least two different uplinks--create a cheap suit with high speed/endurance and equip the uplinks in each slot. Drop them just off of the beaten path (where they'll still be close enough for your team to advance on an objective) and you can earn an extra 30-50,000 ISK per match simply from the WP they provide. Otherwise, keep your suit under 15k and you shouldn't have any trouble turning a profit (assuming you aren't dying more than ten times per battle!) Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit. Eight months has been long enough...guess it's time to learn how to play with a squad.
