I did some research on skills, type of weapons and so on, but the fact remains that it's really difficult to even break someone's shield, and i die almost instantly when my enemy starts firing.
I'm sure i'm doing something wrong, but i cant find out how to improve my chances. And now that i cant enter academy battles, my ISK income was reduced to 1/4 and obtaining better equipment is getting difficult.
Any tips?
Salutations, LordLaguz. Okay, um, brace yourself for what I am about to suggest: Yes, you are likely doing it wrong.
But it's okay. Battle Academy means well, but doesn't teach you what New players need to learn about fighting in Dust.
You've gotten lots of advice from players around you, and you will continue to get the same advice (not quite the kind of advice I am about to contribute ), and their advice had good intentions, but is only helping you get shot, squashed, and feel victimized.
There is a Chat Channel IN THE GAME. Type LEARNING COALITION in the chat search menu, and join that channel. They are NOT some corp asking for you to join. The are vet players who take players into "classroom squads" and practice fittings and techniques that protect you in combat.
Protection of yourself was the first thing you (EVERYONE who wants to get clever in Dust fights) needed to know. Vets used to tell me, forget trying to unlock suits and guns! They said:
1--"First spend your SP unlocking the SKILLS that increase the protective properties of the free starter suits you were given, while you practice ways to run in your starter suit on a Dust map without getting shot at" (takes LOTS of practice, but that's what you have to do first)
2--"THEN, begin using SP to develop the Dropsuit+modules that you feel will protect you while you're doing your job". (This means unlocking the modules to completely fit out that suit---no SP spent on fancy guns yet)
3--"THEN, at the last stage, is when you start using SP to find the weapon you like the most for your work"
This weird sequence is needed because in Dust, players who rely on better fighting habits, have better chances than those players trying to rely on a higher suit and weapon.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
