Unfortunately your problem of not being able to kill anyone will remain until you can run better gear and have more SP.
BUT
as other people have said, if you run in a squad you'll be able to contribute in other ways and are more likely to enjoy some success. There is a squad finder in-game - jump in a squad, let people know you're new and sooner rather than later you'll find some people willing to let you tag along.

Yet, here comes the tissue brigade saying, "add me as contact"
Tsk tsk tsk. Wanna quote that? Cause otherwise I'm inclined to believe you have reading comprehension issues. I'm willing to bet 100 million ISK this isn't a new player. As Krixus pointed out, he downloaded the game yesterday and somehow spent months spending SP. There's no way to prove if he's an alt, but this is very obvious.
Where does OP say the spent months gaining SP? The only mention of months and SP I can find is this:
Outside of spending months of getting shot to hell all day long to gain the skill points necessary to be able to kill one person with a clip instead of shooting the clip into there back then when you reload then turn around you and flick you so you die.
... spent months doing x activity... Implies it has happened - Past tense
... spending months doing x activity... Implies it will happen - Future tense
You can send the 100m to this toon. tia.

Ah OK I see where you're coming from now. Not a new player as in not new to Dust. I effed up. Can't prove that either way without devhax.
And I agree that the timing is suspicious. It's not me but if it's someone else then I'm with you - that's not the way to work this sort of thing out. I think I should also say that I respect your position of not just believing someone when they make a statement like 'stat modifiers are killing NPE', especially when they only have assumptions to back it up.
Speaking of assumptions, I'm working on some actual numbers to try to find out if what I think is right. I don't have much yet, but I do have a start. Daily new character creation is at 3x the daily logins. That is, for every character that logs in during the day, three are created. That could be alts, but man that's a lot.
