Just played my best game so far..7(+2) to 4..yeah. Liking the Rail Rifle right now :) got a good, high spot, good team..won, of course. I play Ambush mostly as Domination is just "proto tank stomp". Which is fine, make an investment immortal and I'll run like a girl :p (no misogyny intended, just matter of words)

So..I turned off voice mostly because of the stereotypical 8 year olds complaining about all the noobs, doing my mother(she'd kill ya, fyi), and people thinking they beatbox like a rapper..those kids need to go back to school..but, should I even be looking for a squad? I HATE voice..everyone is annoying. I enjoy scanning on my logi suit, in addition to repping, so I'd be a decent support..but my headset is a USB headset that might only work on PC. I can't plug it into the controller..

So, no voice, hate listening to annoying people, but I play a support "role". Should I even bother? Do people even want those who can't talk, so long as they listen?

I hate losing. I'm doing much better than my previous topic months ago, at least. Much better. Got Minmatar Logistic, kinda liking the repairing and nano hives..enjoying the scanner most of all, but if it's a logi role item I won't train for the suit. Logi/=/combat, imho. At least Minmatar seems..limited in "combat logi".

OS? what you mean by OS?

And, how do I even find a squad? Does Dust have an "LFG" system?

orbital support. Basically, when your squad gets 5000 war points the squad leader gets to call in a big explosion that kills people. You can find a squad using the squad finder ( its right under the battle finder) or you can type lfs in a chat channel. Some good chat channels are DevHangout, Heavy/Logi Funzone, The learning coallition. If someone types rf2 it means they have room for two people in their squad. Type x and you will get an invite.

yeah man always squad up, shared scans are one of the top reasons. people who DEMAND voice chat are usually really scrubby, ignore them, or let them boot you.

Warbarges cost 5k WP? Wow.

And, thanks. My PS3 locked up during a game, was doing good..AV grenades are nice choice for a frame lacking "Real" AV..I found out..

And, I suppose I know it as "OMS". Off map support..which might mean capsuleer bombardments, not NPC fired attacks

I'll try it out tomorrow. So long as I get more WP and therefore more SP, I'm content. SP is my biggest issue; I'm squeaking by on low level stuff, playing my role as best I can..but always lacking something.

if you're trying to get more sp I strongly advise using uplinks or a repair tool. Those two are hands down the easiest way to get sp quick.

As I play Minmatar logi, I DO use the repair tool..that thing is even mroe finicky than the Planetisde 2 repair/healing guns :( I hate it..

And I play..around..200 WP. I do no damage; most people are heavies or cloaky shotgunner that I hate...but, they spent SP in their fields, therefore, I'm not allowed to complain.

what do you mean by finicky? Also, if as a min logi your only getting 200 wp a game you're doing something wrong. Try getting a better rep tool and stick with your team more. Join Heavy/Logi funzone, you can find a lot of very good heavies to squad up with there.

Due to tight SP, I use the basic Repair Tool. First non-militia one.."Standard" I think they're considered? No adjective on it.

i try to repair, I do, but the trigger on the controller kinda sucks for the repair tool. I can hold it down hard and it won't do anything. If you let up from healing a target, you MUST wait a bit before you can actually activate it again..sometimes it goes to someone next to your target, whether or not they are moving..it's actually not me for once D: it's the repair tool..

and, heavies? I have maybe ONE every other game on my team..but enemy spams them.

You don't have to do damage if you play min logi you have 4 equipment slots that are wp cash cows lol. First grab some mil dropships and some decent uplinks and start the match with those placing uplink in the normal places. Then go in for support using your rep tool and hives to hold the point I would also advise some remote explosives for that last slot allowing you to hold a door should your heavy drop or kill guys hacking the point after a wipe allowing your team more time to return.

uplinks x 2 500 wp
rep tool 200 wp
hives 100 wp
Remotes 200 wp
Total 1k wp
These numbers are conservative well placed uplinks and remotes will make for a much higher score.

I would also suggest restricting your match type to domination so you can have some consistency with logi play style.
I added this wanted to make sure you caught it.

Headset is USB? Plug into controller? Wuh? Plug the headset into the front of PS3.

you can get a bluetooth headset on amazon for 5$ for 10$ from wallmart if they carry the right ones.

Bluetooth? Most Bluetooth headsets are like $70+ where I live. Five bucks maybe gets the bluetooth dongle on one end :p I do need to replace the PC headset, so, I'll take your advice. Usage on both PC and PS3? Smart.

Also, WalMart doent differentiate between cell phone "headsets" and "normal headsets". Doubt it would work; cell phones have bluetooth built in, so no dongle to plug into the ps3..meh. I'll look around though.

I have had no issues with what I have got it from walmart for 10$ its wireless bluetooth so it doesn't take up a slot on the ps3 I would imagine ill sit on it well before it dies lol.

Get into a squad with adults. Most teenagers suck to squad with as well.

Stay away from the dudes that live by the creed that goes like this...

" It's not just a game. It's my life!"

Yeah. Those guys aren't too fun.
