First, unless you get driver weapons for those things, that is the best way to us them. You know, Tag your it. Second, I want to know how to get a blue printed item of of a Dropsuit that I have found on the battle field as salvage. I have two that have blueprinted grenades and I understand that it is part of the fitting but I want those permanent grenade blueprints or others that I may find on fittings in the future. My thought is the militia fittings are permanent so I understand why they can't be removed. The salvage suits are not so I want to be able to break them down to take what I want from them to keep the power goodies I find. |

If you salvage a Militia Grenade BPO you can edit a fit, select the Grenades slot, chose Replace, and select the Militia Grenade BPO from your Assets list. If you salvage a pre-made fit such as an APEX suit, the Grenades in that fit are only usable in that fit. Only the pre-made fit will appear in your assets. The pre-made fits are not broken down into their component parts.
That's sad. Too bad there is not either a skill or the ability in general to allow this. Maybe you could do so but it would destroy the FIT in the process. Sort of like there you go but at what cost. |

Maybe you could do so but it would destroy the FIT in the process. Sort of like there you go but at what cost. If they did let you cannibalise salvaged suits for parts, it should only be for BPC items, not BPO ones. For example; having a Warbarge sub-system that lets you strip down a suit into a bunch of salvage components (broken heat sinks etc) as well as getting 1 consumable item of some, not all, of the fitted modules and weapons. As the sub-system's level increased, you'd be able to get more consumables from the suit.
That's better than nothing. I like that idea. To make it work you may have to loose most of the suits given, maybe keep just one or two. The better the component the more you have to come across it to keep it. A BPO item takes up to twenty times coming across just to get the chance that it is in the mix to keep. If you keep the BPO then everything else is lost. This means that you went in just for the BPO and to hell with the rest. Sadly, you may get the lesser BPOs far more than the boss ones. |

No, you should never get BPOs for stripping suits.[/quote]
But you have to give someone the chance to have the chance. If there is no chance to get a BPO, no matter how slim, then I will just use my salvage without change. I have read where Eve players can get blueprints from ships in their game. Why can't we? It may be the same but it sounds as if they can pull BPOs and BPCs off of a ship they steal from others or a ship they salvage. Giving a player a reason to wanting to lose good salvaged suits adds a sense of lose to the game that the player may regret later. " Is losing this worth the whole suit altogether," is a painful question in the hopes of getting the good stuff.

As far as I'm aware, there was discussion about making BPOs salvageable as T2 Salvage but I'm not sure if that came to pass or not. As for stripping down a salvaged suit for the chance at a BPO; there'd never be a question of "is it worth it" if it came to stripping something like a 'Mauler' Sentinel A-I or Frontline fits since those are given out for daily mission rewards or frequent salvage. Then there's the matter of potentially salvaging a BPO of the Saga-II's Reactive Deflection Field module and then fitting it to HAVs and ADS.
That is why you make it so that you have to come across the BPO a number of times before the chance to get it even comes up. Then you might not even get the BPO but a BPC version of it. For instance, you have to sacrifice 50 suits for a grenade. The percentage is 5% chance to get the BPO. In the 6% to 10% range you would get a BPC version of the BPO. Basically, a "you missed it by that much," situation. Since you can never have a 100% ability at anything there is always a chance to screw up the process to not get your BPO. Plus, the higher the meta score the more of that item that needs to be sacrififced for the chance. |

Sadly, that is true. It was just a thought. Oh well, burn the suits and fight til the world ends.

Unfortunately, im starting to rethink if i should still be playing. Its been 3 days and not a single victory. More than 2 hours waiting just to join a game. And since im not good at shooting people, i decided to do a logi. Unfortunately, all my 3 characters are out of money. Everyone waving their fancy gear while im stuck using the militia set. The only thing i look forward to after each game are the salvages w/c i know i will never be using. I already sold most of them just to buy some equipment.
Was wondering if anyone here can give a few tips or say something to motivate me to keep playing.
Thanks :)
If you upgrade your warbarge high enough you can gain ISK And skill points. I spent a long time after I graduated from the academy before I even started reaping the benefits of my patience. I upgrade what I need or want then use each battle as a way to find out how I do best.

Also, Just got an email from Kaze Eyrou. Joined the Immortal guides. And found out i had a lot of spare sp. so i levelled my nanohive, uplink and repair to 3. Who knew that a 20k suit can generate at least 150k isk per game. Next up, saving for Logi 3.
I think i finally found my purpose in this game: as a squishy healer who restocks, and ressurects people. Thanks to the people at the triage ward for the guide.
Btw, can someone eli5 the alliance mail from Renier re: Planetary Conquest? What are districts? Command points, etc.
Thanks everyone. :)
I'm glad you're having fun again. |

As a player you only have access to Planetary Conquest (Corporate Contracts) if you are in a Player Owned corporation which owns a district or is attacking a district.
Mechanically you can participate in Planetary Conquest on your first day if you join a Corp which is attacking or defending a district. I have had 3 day old characters in Planetary Conquest training matches I have setup.
However, normally a new player will not have access to Planetary Conquest because unlike other game modes you have to have a Corporate Role, Terrestrial Combat Officer, assigned to you by Corp management, to join a Planetary Conquest match on your own. If you donGÇÖt have the Corporate Role that gives you access, you have to join a squad where the Squad Leader has the Terrestrial Combat Officer Role and is able to queue the whole squad for the match. Because who gets into a Planetary Conquest match is controlled by who the Directors of the Corporation gave the Terrestrial Combat Officer Role to, and who the players with the Terrestrial Combat Officer Role chose to allow in their squad, you canGÇÖt get into a PC match unless your Corp wants you there. For most serious PC matches Corps will only want players who have the best gear and experience.
slightly off topic, I have a temp EVE and I want to put him in my corp so I can find permanent leaders. how do I find my Dust corps In the EVE game? Any help is a light in the dark. Yes, I am a total noob on this point. |

Or join a chat channel that has members of your Corp in it, click on a Corp member and select Show Info, then click their Corp logo to show the Corp, then hit Apply to Corp.
thank you |

I wonder if the Eve players know that some of the additions to their game is to help the other two, us and the new Valkyrie. Take the new citadel ship. Many of the pilots do not see that its best attribute is for planet domination. Imagine the look on a Duster's face when they look to the heavens and see this monster floating in their sky. Then all hell breaks loose as heaven and earth go to war over which corps owns the districts or even the planet. |
