This can't be emphasized enough. +1

Just gonna say Dust isn't really a solo player game unless you scout...you just gotta put your sp in the right places and join my corp....

You're doing well for a newcomer. Having low SP is frustrating as hell, but if you stick it out you'll find it's well worth the effort. I would say that you chose a poor suit in Caldari and that you'd be doing somewhat better if you'd gone with another, but such a statement would be shortsighted. Dust is constantly evolving, and suits on the bottom of the pile have a tendency to work their way to the top.

Hang in there, merc. It gets better fast. o7

Expecting something useful from a new player; left disappointed as it was a bitter vet posting.

Good luck going solo. I would highly recommend finding chats to join and people to squad with however, this is a team game.

Learning Coalition

A chat for players to meet vets and sq up, learn mire about tge game. 07, maybe we can squad when I return

You could sit in the learning coalition for a week straight and not see a single squad advertised or a person LFS. It's sad.

That's not my experience when I jump on an alt. There are squads going on in there.

BARAGAMOS, I would like to have you in my Corp, Immortal Guides. It is a new player training Corp, which has been around for almost two years now. We try to help new players learn the game and become more successful more quickly.

I am interested in you joining because I think we could provide you a better expiriance than the NPC Corp you are currently in, and because you strike me as the type of person who will want to help other new players and pass on what you have learned.

I hope that's the case, but as with D-Uni I haven't seen them in game in months. Perhaps that has to do with matchmaking. But before I joined NF I hung out in those chats to see if I wanted to give back and help newbros. I tried starting squads and I tried LFSing and I never once got either. I inquired with those in the chat and they confirmed that nobody ever squads up in those channels.

Not to take away from your post, but I'd be more than happy to recommend players to you if you guys are active.

Do you guys qsync FW or anything like that? If so, I'd love to merge some vets with your newbros and try to help them get some LP.

Learning Coalition chat has not been used for forming squads as much since I created the Learning Alliance, but I still find squads there or pick up squad members there on occasion.

Learning Coalition chat tends to be used more for asking questions about the game, or discussing game mechanics.

Good to know, I did not realise this...not that I should as a vet, I assume you update your guys on which channels to use in recruitment threads or in-game chat then, seeing as I only see that one chat every now and then.

Immortal Guides does not have a recruitment channel. As a new player training Corp the only applications we reject are from people with names which constitute hate speech, so there is no need to interview people before accepting their app. If they want to get to know us before joining, they can do so in Learning Coalition chat, as I try to get all my members to join Learning Coalition chat.

I also try to encurage my members to ask questions in Learning Coalition chat so that new players who are not in the Corp can also see their question and the resulting answers, in order to learn from them. But if they ask in Corp chat, I will answer there instead.

I also invite new players to Learning Coalition chat who have not yet joined my Corp, or who have already joined another player Corporation, as it is still the best place for them to ask questions and get advice about the game.

Oh, and I also encourage Vets to join Learning Coalition if they are interesting in helping new players.
