The Bolt pistol is an alpha weapon, meaning it does a lot of damage all at once, but continuous damage really slowly. One of the best tactics I can think of for it is use your main weapon to chew through shield and some armor, then use the bolt pistol to finish them off (rail weaponry like the bolt pistol, Magsec, and rail rifle do slightly more damage to armor). It's also good against scouts or other low HP suit, but it can be trouble against say a full health heavy (or anything you can kill in 2-3 shots). It can be really good if used right.

Personally I like the SMG, but I think only the ion pistol is under performing as far as side arms go.

Militia vehicles and vehicle mods are pretty bad, at least compared to skilled up fits. It also doesn't help that people get a hard-on for killing vehicles and will almost always pull proto out to kill even a MLT tank. There are some changes coming to vehicles soon(tm) so I'd wait until those go through to see if you like it. If you want to keep tanking, be a bit more cautious when driving. Don't get caught in a bad place and always have a way to escape. If there are too many forgers or swarms, don't be afraid to recall.

Also, have your first like ;) Molon Labe's public chat is #Sand Castles if you want to throw an LFS (looking for squad) in.

I am a leaf on the wind, volcanic wind. There was a guy on team chat that said I'd be getting wasted alot. He said come to this forum and..... well I can't remember the rest. I got tips on fitting a suit. I hope it pays to get my races suits. How do I get good squads? I try squad finder but it's like not having a squad. Is the bolt pistol really godly? I feel like I got tricked. It only has 4 rounds. The pistol they give you has more ammo. How come they give you vehicles that are easy to destroy. Sometimes I can't even drive an inch. Should I start over?

Also if you want send invite to Horizons' edge. We are active in the evenings for eastern time zone in US and always ready to help a new player. Friendly squads and such. Just tell them I sent you I want to get my stats up a little before I apply to a corporation. I've heard some won't accept new people. I've saved 2 million so I can make one if I want. Do you have a public channel?
Obliv Shining Flame Amarr Empire 4	Posted - 2015.02.08 04:08:00 - [5] - Quote So I have been squading with guys from horizons edge. They are very helpful and invited me to join. I was wondering if anybody knows whether this is a good corp to join.

Except it's more like a thousand. Is there a place for role playing? I would like to keep a public journal. The immersion in this game is intense.
