Only played a short while a while back, have around 1000 kills and haven't played since 9 months ago so suggestions as to what to level up would be nice.
I think I'm a Minmatar and I have around 8.5 Million free skill points to spend since I haven't played for ages.
I will only bother listing the skills I have upgraded the most since the last time I played:
Assault Rifle Operation - Level 5
Assault Rifle Sharpshooter - Level 2
Assault Rifle Ammo - Level 2
Laser Rifle Operation - Level 2
Light Weapon Operation - Level 3
Mass Driver Operation - Level 5
Mass Driver Proficiency - Level 2
Weaponry - Level 3
Swarm Launcher Operation - Level 2
Dropsuit Upgrades - Level 2
Shield Extension - Level 2
The rest I have aren't really relevant since I only put enough skill points into them for Level 1. Any help as to what I should spend the 8.5 Million points on based on the skills and race I already have would be great, thanks. |

you can also get what ever equipment you want. I recommend getting nanocircuitry to 3 if you like using mass drivers and swarm launchers.
Once you get these skills I suggest you use a minmatar commando with complex shield extenders in the high slots, and complex kinetic catalysers in the low slots. Use a mass driver and assault rifle or swarm launcher in your weapon slots and a nanohive in your equipment slot.
Sounds like some good suggestions considering I have basically put nothing into armor or armor upgrades. Another question since you suggested I keep going with swarm launcher upgrades. I remember frequently trying to use them but a large portion of the time even if I locked onto some vehicles it would either do no damage on impact or it would miss even with a lock, was I doing something wrong or did I just need to upgrade it more?
Also, are there any worthwhile skills I could take to either avoid snipers or help me find them? They are really irritating and often enough would one shot me when I'd go for a flag.

The vehicles also might be repairing very quickly which makes it seem as though you are doing no damage. Just try getting better swarm launchers and getting closer to your target.
To avoid snipers just stick to cover and use shield extenders and armor plates so you dont get killed in one shot. You could also get a piece of equipment called the active scanner that might detect them if they are close enough. Unforrtunatley they are usually too far away for this to work.
Alright thanks for the tips, I've upgraded everything you've told me to so far.
I bought the Commando mk.0, 2 complex shield extenders, 2 complex kinetic catalyzers. Not sure if I bought the wrong suit or not but it's impossible for me to stick a top of the line mass driver and assault rifle because the PG is too low on the suit, it's 55 so I guess I'll have use some of the crappier guns for the time being or remove at least one catalyzer from the low slot, might just use some kind of a PG upgrade, I should be set, thanks a lot. |

I honestly don't get how you guys play this game, I'm great at FPS games but after a couple of games of Dust I already realize why I stopped playing. Investing massive skill points into something like the mass driver but a machine gun out damages me and kills me despite the opponent having 400 less health, it's ridiculous. My suits cost 150k each but you only make a few 100k per mission, the ISK runs out quick lol. |

My suits cost 150k each but you only make a few 100k per mission, the ISK runs out quick lol. Mass driver is a great anti scout weapon and it does have a greater range then a HMG. But with a mass driver I get as many assists as kills. They are a support and suppression weapon. You migh want to upgrade to a plasma cannon for sheer stopping power.
It's probably the most useless grenade launcher I've used in any game. Earlier I saw a guy in a heavy suit shooting at a teammate with his back at me, he had 30% health left, his shields were gone, he was strafing back and forth, I shot the best mass driver available 4 times right alongside his legs, 4 hits to kill him off splash damage at 30% is ridiculous 
I may as well be running around with a sniper rifle in close combat since the only time the mass driver does any real damage is from a direct impact. I have already lost 5 million ISK after dying so much, seems pretty pointless. Will probably quit and move on by tomorrow. |
