Huh? Well anyway... I see why this game is SO enticing to new players. Does it get old? Or am I just seeing it through the eyes of someone that dies 8 times a match!  Not all the time but you get it. Is it because I don't Squad or am not a squad leader? Is it my poor choice/setup of suits? So, i need help. What suit/weapon/mod should I go for? I think I would like to get a hang on this mass driver, and definitely get into drop ships. And I'm leaning more toward Amarr Logi and Scout. Now on another note, how the heck are people getting over 300k isk and 8-15k sp per battle(without boosters)? What are YOU guys using/doing to get that? I think half of that is my best now. I've seen that a good deal of you guys have had over 25-40k lifetime sp? How the heck are you doing it?? Anyone that will be kind and help out a noob would be appreciated. I may even get frISKy for the right amount of help.

Hi and Welcome to New Eden. A horrible place where everyone hates / kills eachother for eternity. Kind of like hell but cooler. (like literally, its cold out here).
So i'll try and answer some questions for you:
The amarr logi is pretty cool. You can Equip Mass Driver and a Good Sidearm (like Bolt Pistol or SMG) and that will get you good Combat ability, but still, a Logis EHP is pretty low so i recommend you have a vehicle close to flee or always stick together with friends.
I used the AMarr Logi For a while. What i did ( And got 2500-400WP per game) was call in a Drop ship and search for a good place to drop uplinks, Out OF the reach of ground infantry, placed uplinks and camped it (To protect them and Friendlies Spawning there).
I Used Uplinks (ADV FLux and PRO Gauged)+Nanohives only. (+Active scanner if i was in a city map)
Rail Rifle And AV Grenades to shoo away Assault Dropships XD.
So....Dropships ARE indeed Amarr Logis' Friend.
With this Uplink + Camp strategy going massive amounts of WP is easy if your Uplinks are in a good location.
Amarr scout su*ks because it fails at doing anything scout based. It has good precision but with 30 mts max range its just a waste. HAs no Profile dampening whatsoever. So Bad An Amarr Assault WIh 2 Dampeners will do a better job @ assassination. The Stamina Bonus is nice for a ''Game Start'' Suit. You know? to strap a couple of Kin cats and go around dropping links and taking objectives...bu thats pretty much it.
I would prefer, Gal Scout for an Armor Based Scout. (Less precision but still enough to pick up most MEd Frames and Heavy Frames and even some scouts, Good Dampening Bonus)
Dying 8 times in a match aint too bad, if you are playing Logi, or playing solo. I have been r**ped a lot worse than that.,...and im a ''vet''.
Finally, i recommend you Skill into RAIL RIFLES, if you are going to use the A.Logi+DS camp strategy since not always you will be able to kill enemies with the mass Drivers while on an elevated position. MAss Drivers are more for CQ encounters, where your GAL SCOUT would work best (SLayer type):
Fit a Cx PRofile dampener at least.
Mass Driver and Sidearm of preference.
I hope this helps
Playing as : Calscout + Amarr Assault
