DUST Search - Getting destroyed and am losing patience

Okay so I am currently running the Frontline starter fit. I have about 600 of them now. The *AUR* ones with the combat rifle for Minmatar.

I just got my core skills to 5 and that's that.

I am SO sick and tired of getting killed by Proto this and proto that. Mainly Breaches and HMGs. I ALMOST ALWAYS get them down to about 50 armour in my starter fit. And I know if I had equal gear, I would be destroying these people. It's so dis satisfying when you get killed to someone that is more SP than you in an FPS.

I literally am losing my patience and I don't want to quit but it sucks because my KDA has dropped so much this last week since I got out of the academy where people are equal geared. I had about a 6.15 KDR which has not dropped to 1.6 and dropping still fast. Which is ruining my chances of ever getting into a PC corp.

I have no idea what to do and even getting to an advanced level suit and modules takes so long.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am considering buying the APEX Nomad suit tomorrow which hopefully will help even just a little. But I just don't know what to do. So many new players quit because of this reason but there must be something I can do to compete on a fair level.

To compete on a fair level you are going to need to put in the time to level up your character just like everyone else. I would suggest instead of spending Aurum on better suits you should spend it on Passive Boosters so you can earn SP quicker. When I first started playing I didn't go to the Academy you mentioned; I simply jumped into Public Matches without a squad, got completely destroyed by the other team, and began strategizing on how to win. Stick with your teammates. You can be a solo player in this game just fine but it is almost impossible to be a lonewolf unless you are a stealthy cloacked person with a shotgun. I have always viewed new players, myself included when I first started, as interns whose job is to get the veterans their coffee, assist with kills, and pick up scrap kills when there are some. I remember when I first started playing I would finish a bunch of matches with less the five kills, about a dozen deaths, but with 20 to 30 assists.

KD/R means nothing in Dust. That is bullshit unless you are a logi who spends their time in the match repairing peoples armor. All relative stats measure a persons contribution in the match. KDR will not matter ONLY if your team is unable to run out of clones. I have lost matches (Domination, Skirmish, and Ambush) that my team would have won had it not been for some pathetic assholes whose lack of care towards their KDR resulted in the depletion of the clone reserves.
