You might as well start over from the beginning from learning; go all militia before deciding where to go; see what other players are doing and consider their builds.

If you haven't already, max your core skills if you plan on playing infantry. It may eat your sp up, but everything you build from there will be at its innatE best. Other than that how do you play? I would run some matches in mlt or even starter suits (which have changed) and observe, like Iron Puppy Butterknife said. See what's going on, try different weapons and suits without investment. See how you like to die best.

If you like being solo fit into a scout

being a support player? Logi is your guy (1 slot)

being a heavy is your taste? you can be a sent or commando

assualt? assault lol

Well lucky for you, all races, and suit sizes are available in militia. Buy a few light, medium, and heavy suits, and a few of each weapon and play around with them until you get a feel for them. Don't expect to be super effective at first, but take it slow and practice your aim, your awareness, learning maps and playstyles. Also, Dust University helps newer players, if they're still active? Quite a few vet players have been helping out lately too, hopefully they chime in on this thread with advice.

Many things have changed. We now have:

-Daily missions that grant SP, ISK, gear, hacked decryptor keys, strongboxes, and warbarge components

-Strongboxes that contain Officer and BPO gear

-2d Warbarge that gives players bonuses to passive SP, passive ISK, weapon damage bonuses, and an ability to create experimental weapons when upgraded

-Player rank that gives bonuses to SP, Isk, and increased payouts from selling gear

-The option to resell assets to clear your inventory

-Respecs which can be purchased for $20

-Several new maps and sockets

-An increasing balance to dropsuits, weapons, and modules

-The ability to jump high by equipping Myofibril Stimulants

-Cloak Fields for Scouts

-More stuff which I'm too lazy to remember right now

dont come back...... you will hate your self . if you do go rail rifle or scrambler and scouts with shotguns .knifes and remotes . youll fit right in .

Put your 13M SP into MN Assault and Combat Rifle.
