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.

Or just leave things as they are.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this game (around 7days). The game is great, dont get me wrong. It takes me back to my half-life/ cs days. 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 :)

And.. i'm back.. Thanks for the tip nyghthawke. Warbarge components are the only salvage i like after each game.

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. :)

Wow. I think that way out of my league for now. Wait, let me see if I understand..

So everyone starts first with the public conteacts that provide isk, sp, and salvage.
Once you're all set up, you now try faction contracts (faction wars?) . I haven't played them much but, I think this provides you with loyalty points. Other than that, I have no idea.
Now, once you think you'Re good enough, you now join planetary conquest which can give you districts. Question: how do you participate in one? And does this mean that only players who have a solid serup are allowed to participate?
As for corporate contracts and other contracts, i have no idea what appears there.

Btw, I read somewhere in the forums that they're planning to redesign the dropsuits. Not sure when that will happen but it seems that there will be a lot of xhanges in the near future. =ƒÿä

The one thing I would add to what Kaze explained is that Districts are owned by the Corporation, not the individual player, which is why they are called Corporate Contracts in the interface. 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.

Bring up the People & Places interface, set it to Corporation, and do a search for your Corporation.

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.

Don't know where to put this, so I'll share this here (does our corp have an official forum thread? I can't seem to find it):

- I maxed out my main logi skills (nanohive/needle, repair tool, and drop uplink are now all 5). Currently sitting on 700k sp and pondering on what to level next. I was planning to level scanners, but a lot of people were against it. Does scanning give you WP?

By the way, thanks for the sniper guides Fox, i learned a lot from them.

Hi everyone, me again. Right now, i'm at 90k LP for amarr. I may be able to get it to 100k before the PC. Im currently torn between getting the sentinel or the assault blueprints. Would like to ask everyone here for your thoughts on which one i should get. I want the sentinel so that i can finally get a tank suit. I also want the assault to be able to replace the amarr militia set i currently use.

Also, your thoughts and recommendations on what blueprints to get for each race in the loyalty store. Im planning to go galente then caldari, and finally minmitar in getting 100k LP. so far, im eyeing the logistics blueprint for caldari and minmitar. Although i cant say w/c one is better. As for galente, its either the commando, assault or sentinel.

Can't really speak for any of the other suits, but as for the Logi suits. If you're looking to run a versatile logistics suit, go Minmatar.

You'll sacrifice HP, but your CPU/PG is higher than Caldari (they are kind of crippled in that respect right now). Plus the bonus is repair tool rate and distance. It's more useful than the Caldari nanohive/needle bonus. You'll get more WP by far, and you can stay safe while repping easier with the increased rep range. With a proto rep tool, I can rep from across most hallways, and avoid crossfire because of it.

But understand, it is not meant to be a slayer logi setup. You'll want to run with a heavy, or stick with your team. If you go solo, then use your speed to your advantage. I have a speedy fit with Kin Cats, to run in uplinks quickly if my team is being pushed out of an area.

So MinLogi all the way

Quite a few returning players have joined my Corp this week. Essentially new players with 2 to 2.5 years of passive skill points saved up while they were away. It is an interesting trend.

Also, are there any sites I can check that have the details on the APEX and LP dropsuits (just the equipment. if there are stats, then much better)? I keep seeing people display the suit name, but I have no idea on what the they're equipped with.
