Also I seems that sometimes I am able to shoot at the enemy and be able to damage them, but I not able to kill them. It would seem they have better armor or better weapons and end up killing me before I kill them. Even when I hipfire them I am not able to kill them. What would be the recommended skills that would be good to use for an assault build and what weapons would be good to use? I know I use an assault rifle and submachine gun. The rifle is at lvl 5 and the machine gun is at lvl 4. I can not upgrade the armor yet, since the armor is at lvl 2, or even add the upgrade rfile for lvl 5 to my dropsuit. Here is the skills and items I have for my character.

Grenadier lvl 1
Assault dropsuit lvl2
Dropsuit command lvl 1

Electronic lvl 3
Nanocurcuity lvl 1

engineering lvl 2
shield operation lvl 3

light weapon capacity lvl 1
light weapon sharpshooter lvl 3
Light weapon upgrade lvl 2

sidearm capacity lvl 2
sidearm sharpshooter lvl 3
sidearm upgrade lvl 2

Assault rilfe operation lvl 5
Assault rile profiency lvl 1
pistol operation lvl 1
submachine gun operation lvl 4
weaponary lvl 2

Armor upgrade lvl 1
mechanics lvl 1

Some of these were standard and some of them were ones I bought and started to add points to. Do you think this is too much? Any suggestions on which ones I would need to not use or ones I would need to use. I would think the sharpshooter would be one to use?

Dropsuit fitting:

Upgrade:
Basic sidearm damage modifier
militia shield extender
militia cardiac regulator
Basic armor plates

Weapons:

Gek-38 Assault rifle
m209 Assault submachine gun
locus grenade

Pick speed mods with shields, or armor mods with damage mods. The logic is that shields will replinish but are weaker in the game, so you need speed to keep you from getting direct fire. With armor, you can take the hit better, but since you move slower you need a higher damage output. For my basic assult, I have 2 x light weapon damage mods, plus armor plates and armor rep. You can use the remote armor rep tool as your equipment and put 2 x armor plates on if you want - that will give you more tank but you have to remember to repair the damage instead of it happening naturally.
