Caldari State

I've been playing for a bit but am stumped. I hate getting the 10 or so deaths when I run as infantry and the 4-6 deaths when trying to run as a tank (can't pilot dropships so I don't bother with them). So I've decided to turn to these forums for help.

I don't know how to keep my deaths low but also aid my team. This is what I've tried (as far as weapons and type):

Militia Assault Scrambler Rifle, Militia Minmatar Medium Armor, uplinks (did ok, still about 6-15 deaths)

Sniper rifle, uplink, Militia Min Light (can't keep targets in sight)

Forge gun, Militia Min heavy (get better k/d ratio with a typical 6/8)

Militia heavy gun, Mil Min heavy (decent with I think, just die before I can get in range and cover)


I have tried all the militia weapons and those four are what I've noticed I do ok with. My playstyle is that I like playing somekind of field support.

Tested supports:

Sniper Tank- haven't figured out how to more accurately hit infantry and get slammed by swarms

Infantry Tank- overwhelmed in tank v tank fight, swarm problem

Medic- seem to die before being able to reach downed teammate


The vehicles I seem to do ok with are:

HAVs- I can control them pretty good (if I couldn't that would be sad lol), can keep track of targets ok, swarms lay me out

LAVs- still working on control, outmanuever enemy vehicles & installations, swarms typically miss me, usually get terrible gunners

Vehicles I'm terrible with:

Dropships- Can't control them (even with the how to video I saw on youtube)


If anyone can give me some pointers or tips it would be greatly appreciative.

To further showcase my style: on most other shooter games, I usually use an lmg like the Saw. I like to kind of act as a suppression fire soldier.

I would think that Militia Amarr Heavy would be the best coming out.

Just realize you have to stick with a team, and stay out of the open, especially when by yourself.

Early on, just expect death.

I still die as much as you (a lot of it has to do with my role/play style).

Also remember there are other ways of support, like hacking, repairing wounded blueberries, laying hives and uplinks etc.

Long term, if support is really what your style is, consider the Logi suits, which are considered the primary support class.

Awesome. Was using starter Caldari suit and just got 14 kills and 6 deaths, killstreak of 7. Not bad tbh :)

The only problem I'm having is finding a weapon I'm ok with. One with a decent range, ok firing rate, and ok with fire surpression.

Why are you running militia fits? The bonuses suits give you make a lot of difference and standard weapons and modules save you fitting space.

Because he was advised to until he found something he actually wanted to skill into. It might come as a surprise, but the amount of depth and customisation thrown at people early on can be incredibly overwhelming and lead to them avoiding spending SP for fear of making mistakes.... or to them spending sp poorly because they think it's like other games where all you need to do is upgrade your gun.

I'm somewhat good on isk. SP is lacking atm but I can make do for now. (Get put into fights with protos so I go militia sniper since it's cheaper and I know I'll die quite often) (Killed 2 snipers about 2 times each and an infantry once in my last batttle for the night, with corp squad with 2 others, one being a sniper too)
