Everytime I see a xk.0 suit with a shotgun running around I just use a 8k isk cloaked shotgun scout to kill them. Because your suit is overkill, and you are wasting isk. If you are going to run a xk.0 suit then run a CR or ScR so you can join the FOTM assault scouts.
You haven't played PC ever, have you?
No, why would I? It only recently hasn't been plagued by isk farming and district locking.
If you must know, I consider myself to probably be one of the few legit characters when it comes to isk efficiency though I realize meta wise that is pointless. I've never farmed isk, not even on an alt, I've never taken isk from other players, and i've never spammed accounts to get dat 500k isk that people do. I'm at 60 mil isk at the moment and I'm literally trying to burn through my overstock of fits from 1.8 launch as we speak. I have a 1.37 kd/r which is not impressive to anyone, but I will add that's 1.37 kd/r on an omni soldier who pushes objectives and doesn't run from a fight... unless I joined it late, I just leave those as the isk payout will always be meh. I also run fun builds on my main because I'm not actually obsessed with pretending stats matter. I don't and have never had a single proto fitting so that positive kd/r though it may be scoffed at is a kd/r achieved primarily in militia and std gear. I have and can run about anything in adv though I rarely do and am actually working on unlocking std tank missles which will pretty much complete my ability to field anything.
I played this game because I like the fact that I can field pretty much whatever I can come up with and constantly have 30 fittings to play around with in my loadout. I have 30 because the game only let's me have 30 at a time. I have continuously fought against proto geared out players and I actively hunt them as I, even realizing it is futile because everyone exploits the isk system farming one way or another, enjoy making proto players run isk negative for the match. I play fps games because I like competition, not because I want to "feel" like I'm "good" at it. You can talk down to me all you want but I will never think anyone that runs proto is actually good at the game. I'm okay with people running proto that's just fine, in fact lately my biggest problem in matches has simply been the fact that as a typically solo player (Because I got tired of being bitched at with "Y don't u run proto, u bad bro?")I have often times run with players in proto squads and they rarely out perform me except when they bear tank a bunch of newberries. I'm often put into matchmaking with really bad players. I'm talking people that go 0/16. I never went 0/16 even when I first started this game and was fighting in my mlt gear against imperfect proto stomps.
At the end of the day, all I'm saying, and for what it's worth, you can spend a whole lot less isk and accomplish the same thing.
