I played Eve Online quite a bit so long ago so I am kinda familiar with the concept of this game. Whats the best race, class, modules, weapons etc? I like to be stealthy and kill people. Also any advice to start off would be appreciated. I haven't spend my unollocated sp yet.

General Tso's Alliance 3052	Posted - 2015.03.01 16:27:00 - [4] - Quote Stick with the starter suits and use militia to get a taste of the different weapons, suits, etc. Use a drop uplink when you start out then switch to a rep tool or hive. Join a new player friendly corp or at least one that you enjoy being with. Don't follow FOTM, just use what ever you like and enjoy using. Use www.protofits.com (Dust's fitting tool) to plan your suit and skill progression. Stick with it. It has almost as bad of a learning curve as Eve, and definitely more steep than other FPSs. But it's entirely worth it imo. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

Use the other two slots to test different things. Delete them after you send everything to your main character. If they finish the academy try a few public games. Stay out of FW. You will only hurt your team by being there.
PurseLuv Krullefor Organization Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2015.03.01 16:49:00 - [7] - Quote whoooo you guys are sooo awesome! Lots of advice :) too much for my head! Uhmm I just don't know where to start actually. Especially where to invest my sp. I don't want to make a mistake and regret it -_- Also, what corp would accept a newbie? :(

There are many instances you'd be better off with a noob who wants to play, rather than a vet who's sick of being stomped and just wants a few faction points from the comfort of the MCC.

Uhmm I just don't know where to start actually. Especially where to invest my sp. I don't want to make a mistake and regret it -_- That's why I said to use other characters. All weapons have militia variants that require no skill investment. Start by making a character you want to keep. Then make 2 throw aways. Play the 2 and toss em. I was serious about staying in the academy as long as you can. You are just a number to most of these scrubs.

It's not an argument I want to have here. Newbs don't belong in FW. There's hundreds of threads you can derail. Why hurt this guy?

Uhmm I just don't know where to start actually. Especially where to invest my sp. I don't want to make a mistake and regret it -_- Also, what corp would accept a newbie? :( Start by getting your passive armor and/or shield skill to 3. I can't stress how many times I see people in the same gear as me gear who's total hp is lower than mine without any armor plates/shield extenders. After that I suggest testing out different suits before commiting sp to plates or extenders. If you want stealth, dampening in the electronics tree helps you get under enemy scans and radar, but I would hold off on that till you know exactly what you want. Death is going to be a perpetual state of being for awhile until you get a feel for the maps and get your skills up. Enjoy the academy while you can, but know that what you encounter in there is not what you'll encounter once you graduate. Academy is a puppy kennel, everything else is a wolves den. Free your mind, break your shackles..... In other words....stop being a gorram metasheeple.

Use militia gear for a month while u save up sp and isk, then decide your favourite suit and guns and skill into it. As you gain more skill points you can expand out and get more weapons and suits. Skill Dropsuit Core Upgrades, Electronics, Engineering, armour upgrades, and shield upgrades first. They will help you most. Also, joint a corp, (hint Maybe mine) It will help you Gassault Calogi and more. Respec Pending. `- Open Beta Vet - 37.5 mil sp - - Director of Corrosive Synergy -`

I don't intend on playing this very much unless I like it. I use to play a lot of Halo and Call of Duty but they have gotten soooooo boring after the years. There's like so much information here to qoute everyone! But I have read all the advice and I am grateful for the help! <3 So skill into core upgrades, electronics, engineering, armor upgrades and shield upgrades first... Keep trying out starter fits to save isk and accumulate sp... Don't join Duna... unless this is some sort of a mean joke??? I donno start by getting my armor and shield upgrades to 3... Join postapo wastelander's corp... you guys are nice for wanting me... I can't really say i'll be any help though -_- until I get better Survival first, kills 2nd... In all honesty, this is quite overwhelming but I will try my best to follow everyone's advice!! TY
One Eyed King Nos Nothi 8136	Posted - 2015.03.01 18:25:00 - [28] - Quote Dust is overwhelming. Lots of info and its always changing. Duna is a joke, but he kind of makes himself a joke. He gets new people, charges a significant tax rate to subsidize his tank fetish, puts them in directors roles because he knows they won't know the ins and outs of navigating corp roles so they can escape, and then they think they are trapped in this crap corp named after the most well known KDR ***** in the game. That being said, I didn't feel I was officially part of the game until I got an invite from him. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.
