One thing I regret about this game is that I never used the rail rifle and a few other which I did but not as much , thinking back on it I was more of a not use my top tier gear even at the end I was afraid to lose the gear sorry I know it's odd but yeah lol

I regret never using Nova Knives.

One thing I regret about this game is that I never used the rail rifle and a few other which I did but not as much , thinking back on it I was more of a not use my top tier gear even at the end I was afraid to lose the gear sorry I know it's odd but yeah lol

I was a ******* millionaire at the end and STILL only used standard-level gear... I was afraid to even use advanced!

On top of that, I had around 60+ mil SP and no proto suits unlocked... don't ask how.

Oh yes, they call this the too good to use or too awesome to use syndrome. I suffer from it too. This was/is especially true if it was something that stood out like an officer suit. Especially that rattati frog suit which you could see a mile away. I think I used one of those once. I killed a guy or two and made it to the next clone station to immediately change it. If I used it any longer than that I would had had a heart attack.

The main problem or problems with this mentality is that you dont enjoy the game and it actually makes you play worst. Towards the end of thd game I made a trade which made it so that I could use mostly proto gear until the game closed. About 2 month worth. My play became exponentially better because I was able to focus on just playing vs worrying about how much isk I lost or made. Huge difference on pkay style. It eas my son who actually though me that. Just go for it. As long as you get the kill it was ok even if you died. Made the game so much more enjoyable.

In regards to the rail rifle you may or may have not missed much depending on when you started tonpkay the game. Early on the rail rifle was a beast. I could go head to head in an advance logi suit against a heavy, walk strait towards him and still end up winning. It was insane but it was also very unfair. That rifle wpuld kill you on all ranges on all terrains. Then came the nerf and when that bat hit it hit it like it was a cheating husband or wife. The recoil made it stupid useless. Not even the caldari could use it. They over did that nerf. At the end they made it fair again as long as you use a caldari assault.

I had every weapaon skilled but then got the respec and skilled ALLLLLLLL gallente. At the end, I used all my officer and experimental weapons. I believe I still have like 3 bins, a few scotsmans, tins of kubos (both ion and plasma) and a lot more stuff

One thing I really do regret is never using the CalScout to its greatest extent. I remember one battle where someone was in a CalScout and routinely dispatching everyone in sight (including me) and I realised some time later that it was their speed that was doing it - they could move so fast, noone could touch them. That was actually something I would have loved to really get into, if I had had the time. In EvE my favourite ships are the Caldari interceptors, small ultra-fast frigates that can just run rings around almost anything else in the game (other than another interceptor). Same deal - small and fast wins the day, I just wish I had have tried that....

Caldari weren't the fastest scouts though. Minmatar were, and with all its Low Slots, Gal Scouts could come pretty close.

Caldari weren't slow like the Amarr, but they weren't speed demons either. I can't remember if they had the PG to pull off KinCats either.

For the longest time they were the best passive scanners though, and Shield Tankers of the Scouts.

I sometimes regret not switching corps more early on. I was a pretty diehard loyalist for my corp and stuck with it until after things totally fell to crap in PC. By then, it was too late as corps weren't really serious any more and DUST became just pointless Pub matches. I did have an incredible time with my corp but I sometimes feel like I still missed out on other great stuff in other corps.

Yes, I'm aware that Caldari weren't a lot of things. The thing about being dedicated Caldari was/is to stay with what you've got, skill as highly into it as possible and learn to work its advantages and within its limits. I have found for the brief times I've tried FOTM or "what's the best gear" that to skill into it takes ages anyway, and if I'm already fully skilled into one race, then I can derive all the benefits of that race or faction.

I know this didn't fit with a lot of the mentalities in Dust, who would rather always be seeking the best this or the fastest that or the strongest whatever else, but being a fully skilled Caldari means I can be a good all-rounder with emphasis on certain Caldari gear that I know works really well for me. Same for my Gallente merc. Same goes for EvE by the way, where I have a Caldari and a Gallente pilot as my two main characters, both of whom are very highly skilled pilots in their own race and some factions that work well with those races. My Caldari main, Nalianna, for instance, can fly every Caldari ship but the Leviathan, simply because the Titan skill costs 5.5Bill ISK!

I fully intended once I had fully trained my Caldari (and Gallente) mercs in their respective races, to start branching out and training the other races, as well, but sadly I never got to even fully train their own races before the end.... :(

Don't feel bad, except for my first week of DUST, I never really used ANY of the rifles at all. My preference was to use weapons that required a bit of timing to land a good shot. I strictly forged for quite a while, every fitting I had at one point was a forging suit. My fellow corp mates developed a tactic called the Rom Bomb. Which was basically flying a dropship into a highly contested area and dropping me into the mix to point blank Forge a few reds, then die, respawn on mobile CRU and repeat.

Eventually, my friend Jera 13 convinced me to try out the PLC on a medium suit. Immediately fell in love. The rest is history.

I regret the loss of Logistics vehicles, both then and in the potential pilot-less future of NOVA

Gone are my dreams of slowly spider tanking 'cross the land, searching far and wide.

I regret not getting an SSD for my PS3 so maybe I wouldn't slideshow and crash every time I tried to play a PC match. The few I played in, even though we got stomped and were complete slideshows, were a lot of fun.

Lol I do miss the slap fights we used to have lol. It was fun dropping out of a DS and HMG people that were to focused on shooting at the DS I've always wanted to find a group of people to stand on top of the DS with mass drivers and just bomb a given area

Hopefully one day our slap fights will re-commence.

I have done my share of dropship surfing. Specifically with a forge, sometimes those dang dropships would stay too far to reach. So I would get a lift from a steady pilot to take out those dropships that would rather practice their barrel rolls than get into the fight an actually do something productive for their team.

Toward the end i gotten more into DS i enjoyed having gunners and pulling people in and out of hot zones .... when ever they got the balls to get in
