Main thing i've noticed is that as your skills get better and you learn more you do better I'd say starting out try hacking stuff shoot the mcc jump in turrets try taking shots from far away with the scope even if you get a few hacks/assists/shots on mcc you get some exp also i'd say train a few things up a lvl or 2 at 1st before trying to specialize a bit better weapons/armor/shields you will start lasting longer and killing more and just use militia till you know what you are doing

Amarr Heavy: But a few sniper rounds. . .

I like the rest of this posts but this is incorrect, anyone in the non-militia heavy suits takes more than an entire clip of even the prototype sniper to kill.

Those descriptions of the suits are there to make them sound interesting and outline weaknesses and strengths, a weakness of any heavy suit is facing snipers.

A non-militia heavy takes more than a clip of anything short of a forge gun, or an HMG to take down.

If you are a sniper and a non-militia or militia heavy wanders into your sights, it is a very easy target, and possibly an easy kill depending on how long he sticks around. You can maximize your damage against him by getting head shots if you are good, from what I can tell headshots do more than 100% extra damage to drop suits. So comparatively a sniper only needs to shoot a few rounds compared to the close to a hundred someone with an AR would have to use on average to take one down.

It will take you a lot less bullets to take down a amarr heavy suit with a proto sniper than pretty much any other light weapon in the game, barring swarm launchers because they are broken pos.

A few is subjective/situational in a quantitative sense. =) I hope this post cleared up the "few sniper rounds" for anyone thinking it was incorrect.

Then it should only take 4 or 5 to take down a non militia suit, as it stands right now the militia one has just around 100 less hp than the advanced or proto suits can't remember which one. Which isn't much for a proto sniper to get through.

And do not fear because in the next build militia heavy suits will only have 600 armor. =)

As for proto's and heavies I think they deserve to be able to take 4-5 sniper shots, you have to dump more SP into just drop suit command and amarr heavy suit than you do to get gallente scout suit to IV, sniper operation to V and sniper proficiency to IV combined, and thats just to wear the damn suit.

I think I'll bump this one back to the front page.

Bumping for all the new players that will be joining us soon. So that if they're interested in where the game universe came from and is going they can find a decent version here instead of having to search.

smack back to the top of the threads u go!!!

(bump)

So, there have been a lot of people in this thread stating that we has mercs shouldn't really give a crap about the political climate/history/etc of New Eden. The thing is, we should. We can directly impact and influence the future of New Eden by our actions. We can scheme, plan, and cause our own wars that end up benefiting us in the end. Who wouldn't want that?
