I want to know how to play fps games because I just rush and get killed thanks to my friend that says that he's good well he sucks so can someone teach me how to be calm and strafe properly and what to do in a gunfight or when I am ambushed or when facing scouts and heavies. Can someone teach me what skills I should get 1st so I don't waste SP.  |

Have you joined the chat channel Learning Coalition? You should ask there, and run a squad with them. Now as a way to practice your gun game, make an Alt and only use Scrambler Pistols. If you practice with weapons that are hard, the rest of the guns will be easy mode. If you need a corp, apply to 703rd and we can squad with you.
Well, time to go Commando. Fill the Ranks at 703rd.

On your main character
1-Understand right away that you will get stomped repeatedly for a good while. Accepting this now will keep you from rage quitting. It's not that you are that bad, you will get better, its just that most other players are millions of SP and a year or more of play time ahead of you.
2-Dropsuit Armor Upgrades and Dropsuit Shield Upgrades both to 5. This will help you last a bit longer.
3-Dropsuit Electronics and Dropsuit Engineering to at least 3 each. This will allow you to add more modules and equipment and better weapons to cheap and starter suits.
At this point don't spend anymore SP, let it collect until you know what you are good at and what play style you like.
Just practice with the starter fits and cheap militia gear for a month or two. You will see your ISK accumulate as well which is good because later on the better fits you build become expensive. When you know what you like, come back and ask more questions.
On a second and maybe third character
Spend your SP on whatever weapon or gear you feel like trying next and have at it. |

As far as dust goes, core skills are key.
What I am referring to are the skills under the dropsuit upgrades portion of the skill tree as they will affect all suits regardless of which roles you choose for the future. Early on you may want to think about upgrading armor and shields to at least lvl 3 as they will even benefit starter fits.

The best start to spending your SP is just not spending it for the first few days. Play a load of games using the starter fits and/or militia gear and let your SP and ISK accumulate. In that period try to find out what you like with an alt. Play games, die a lot, experiment with your alt, read the guides here, join "Learning Coalition" chat channel and ask questions.
Get a good instructor and let them help you with spending your first SP wisely.

Really read up on everything, core skills will always be a first thing to skill into, but if you got extra SP, spend a point into everything you want so that you know what you want to go into when you are done with core skills, BTW remember nova knives ARE a sidearm, there no such thing as a "knife slot" XD
But if you really want to know what to skill into, join a corp that can direct you in the right direction, my corp/alliance could help you, as can many other, but thats you call.

I remember seeing a thread late last year describing the best way to start a new character and I sort of agree with it if you like the Scrambler Rifle. Basically, level up straight to level 4 Scrambler Rifle for the Assault Scrambler Rifle. Then fit it onto a Militia Heavy Suit. I would personally recommend the Minmatar Heavy due to high stamina regen. The fitting below uses no skills besides Assault Scrambler Rifle. I would personally go straight into the Core Skills after this and then SAVE your SP until you find a playstyle you like and invest into a dropsuit accordingly. The below fitting will give you a fighting chance vs most other people.

First get your armor and shield to level 1. Then get armor plating
and shield extenders to level 1. This will allow you to use basic armor and shield modules which you are going to use no matter what suit you get. You can get armor to 2 or 3 but don't go higher yet, modules do better. Right now you have two basic choices if you want to kill people. Gal Scout or a Heavy with an HMG. You can go militia heavy suit and and get a cheap HMG and see how you like it. You just put armor on the low slot and shield extenders on the high. You can do the same thing with a Gal Scout with a Combat Rifle and see how r hat goes. You can add cloaking and a cloak with a shotgun, but that will work better for you later, not now. You can then look into spending SP into biotics. You can make a faster suit using militia kincats, and see how that goes. Don't put much into your suits or weapons until you know what you want to play. Fill out your dropsuit upgrades to 2 and 3 first.
Because, that's why.

If you know what playstyle you enjoy there are things which move to the front, sniper rifles for snipers as an obvious example.
That sort of specific thing notwithstanding you can't go wrong with Dropsuit Upgrades - That tree applies to all your dropsuits and has many passive buffs, such as movement, scanning, armor, shields, fittings, etc so you will get value out of those skills no matter what role you select.
Further for earning ISK and SP you need to earn WP so get in the habit of deploying at the start of the match with an uplink, place that uplink somewhere hidden and then run your main fit the rest of the match. A well placed uplink can earn you WP throughout the match and speed your characters progression a bit.
Hope some of that is useful.
Cheers,

Your single, most important skill us learning to squad up. This game is like night and day comparing squading vs running solo.
For spending SP, focus on trying your core skills first. When you decide to spend on a weapon, think twice and pick one to focus on.

Have a look at the below for some advice on starting out and increasing your battefield effeciveness. It covers off some general guidlines on skills etc in the medium term section, that might cover what you're looking for.
Punching above your weight
There's also a link in my sig below to a compilation of a lot of really good info, inlcuding a number of new player guides.
And, as others have mentioned, join up with the learning coalition to get advice from vets on improving your gun game (strafe techniques, tactics, flanking, etc).
Good luck.

make a ton of characters and try out different things. you start out with 500K and you can instantly skill into most things with it, albeit a weak form
make a different PSN. this way you can accumulate passive SP on multiple characters, and try out even more things with the extra characters.
Pick one thing and STICK TO IT. Don't spread your SP out too thin. |

Good idea... Teach new players how to use the O.P. stuff so we can break the game worse... instead of 75% of the player base slamming stuff with combat rifle scouts we can make it 95%. WE CAN MAKE IT EVEN MORE UNPLAYABLE!!!!

Simple what role do you want? Lone wolf do scout or heavy as a starter. Assaults ATM suck unless you know how to use them, and logi's can be used as either an upgraded assault or an intensive build that builds the support of your squad at the expense of massive grinding.
Want vehicles try the militia tanks and require no SP investment and can kill most 10-20 mil SP tanks in the right situation.
Once you know your role pick a racial suit that will go with your play style, and build it as such while making adjustments along the way. IMPORTANT when investing SP on your roles and suit DO NOT invest SP on different skill tree's nor will you try to fix your Dropsuits weakness as it will take more SP you can't afford to **** away.
Your next step is investing SP on your Core Skills as it will change your suits armor, shield, loadout effectiveness, speed, and sensory skills by a certain percent. It may not be much, but I can't tell you how many times my maxed core skills saved my ass under certain death situations. As an added bonus when you invest on the core skills it opens up the ability to use modules that radically change the threat of your suit. All of them determine the first half of your survival, but for now take it one step at a time and go for LV3. ASAP.
Lastly, is your weapon of choice the most common weapon is the assault rifle especially the GEK that is referred to as the king of Beta Weapons. The Combat rifle is a good mid-short range weapon that has variants that focus on burst or rapid fire. The scrambler rifle is king of single shot high DPS, but requires skill to use as it is one of two weapons that will kill the user for stupidity. The laser rifle is rarely used and to be deadly one must have max Prof skill, DMG mods, and for added DMG an Amarr assault. The Rail Rifle at the moment is a powerful and feels like a sniper-assault rifle in one. If your going to use the RR be sure to adjust the X and Y ADS in your options menu, because it makes it easier to lead your targets and makes hip fire SO much easier and makes scrubs cry. If your going Heavy the HMG and forge gun will be your means to clear multiple reds and vehicles provided you have a logi or sufficient equipment keeping you alive. As for Sidearm use the SMG or scrambler pistol both are the perfect compliment weapon to the above mentioned weapons and will mow down your enemies who are wounded or if you exhaust your main weapon clip. Did I mention switching weapons is so fast? As for Shotguns I have no info other than they hit hard and kill in 2-1 shots.
That is all I can think of now, but if you need help the Learning Coalition channel is always lending a helping hand to gets and newbies alike. That is all and good hunting.

If you are NOT a scout, then your focus should be 3 in:
Armor upgrades
shield upgrades
Electronics
Engineering
Light weapon of choice
Grenadier
Armor Plating
Shield Extenders
Since I don't know the suit you chose I'll tell you that you only need to goto 3 in the suit of choice and then focus on getting all of the passives to 4 or 5 as well as things like nanites, uplinks, hack, etc between 3 and 5.
Most people don't have a fully proto suit that is workable until 7+ mil SP. I didn't have one until 14 mil.

Forget light weapons, forget dropsuits and all that white-noise.... Heed the call of murder, mayhem and chaos... hop into a murderous madrugar and feel the power of the gods spew out of your blaster cannon and reap the rewards few will know. In no other role will you know such power, such majesty and such visceral fear when a JLAV (Light vehicle with a ton of explosives strapped to it that takes little to no skill or ISK investment to use) launches over the crest of a hill and careens toward you with death in its headlights.
But really, tanking is where it's at. Its never to late to join us. |
