So its gonna be meant to be like a halo/resistance type game. Where you're gonna have to aim for the head and put some shots into that person before they're going down.

that kind of disappoints me but still I cant step away from the fact that this game sounds awesome. How we're going to be influencing what goes in EVE. I guess I'll have to get used to it then.

I played a couple more matches and I literally got like 1 kill per match. 0_0. I'm still horrible at this game. I can't seem to kill the other person before they run away or they get me first.

What skills do i have to upgrade so i can kill people easier? And how many shots should it normally take to kill someone. One clip? I just wanna know if I'm missing all my shots lol.

From the sound of it, I think you might be haha. I find it odd you are only getting 1 kill per match, make sure you are doing the same thing they are when they kill you. Like move around, hit and run, strafe etc. There are skills that upgrade your weapon damage, increase reload speed, etc etc. Almost anything you can do in game there is a skill that modifies that action.

It is hard to say what YOU individually need. Id say if you want more survivability train up Mechanics to IV and Shield augmentation I think it is to IV whichever one you need to increase your shield hp.

Ever thought about getting a heavy suit with an HMG, Bamboo? Could be it's more your style, and your survivability will certainly go up a little bit.

The militia heavy dropsuit has no skill requirement I think so you only need to train up for the HMG (weaponry 3, heavy machine gun operation 1) and you're good to go. Perhaps it will be easier to hit people if you're spewing out 30 bullets per second... just saying.

And also I know i'm part of the guristas but is there a way to change that? Do different factions have different skills or something?

bumping this cause its needed.

This seems like a good place to post this as it may assist new players and more experianced players as well. I am pretty much a full on assault trooper that assist his buddies and throws down some nanohives for the heavies and such. I WANT to wear full proto, full complex armor/shield, and top of the line equipment BUT, that **** costs crazy amounts of cashe. Currently with just full proto and complex shield and armor repair I am at near 35k or so. With top end nanohives, grenades, ect ect I will easily hit 40k.

In a match I get anywhere between 60-120k, and 120k being a VERY lucky match. How does this work? I read that it depends on the other players dropsuits and stuff? Whats that about. I played a match with the full proto and such and ensured I didn't die, I did great, got like 20 kills a no deaths, hacked the **** out of everything, it was awesome. But when the match was over I barely got 70k? If I died 2 times I would have pretty much gained nothing...that kinda sucks? I want to be able to get in a tank and maybe try out a dropship, but im not going to do it if I can barely afford my damn suit. Do I just have to not use proto suits and proto gear?

How is everyone else doing on the money factor, any tips and such on how to increase money flow? I could really use some advice and assistance on this and I think everyone could benefit on some money tips.

*Doesn't see rule against bumping for sticky*
Bump!

What would you guys like me to touch on next? I have a copr/alliance post in the works but I would like some new player feedback on something that might be helpful to add =)

Well, at least the first 6 posts of this thread were not eye-bleedingly painful like the 10-post-wall-of-text Manifesto posted by James315 in the Eve forums about how miners are the scourge of New Eden.

There is a rule against bumping in the forum rules, but it is loosely enforced. But to be safe lets just talk instead.

I'll start.
HI!

Thank goodness this exists. I'm a complete noob and this universe is as daunting is as it is intriguing. Couple that with my lack of experience with FPS games, if it wasn't for the rich background and seemingly endless customization and development, I probably would be too intimidated to get involved.

As a beginner, I'm curious about if player organized teams form. If so, how can I go about joining such a group. If I were an experienced player, I surely wouldn't want to have dead weight like myself as a member. What's the best way to go about getting better? The few times I've tried my hand at online shooters, I couldn't survive long enough to even become accustomed to the controls.

Can't believe this thread hasn't reached sticky status yet.
