You sit on militia gear till you have the basic skills leveled and then you can actually take people down. Once that has happened start buying stuff but be very careful about how and where you use it. Aim for some high level salvage you want to use and use that. first.; Gear is not meant to be a crutch to lean on, just a little extra wind in your sails.
Militia Gear is the money maker gear. |

Ive got 2 mil isk in the bank, a stock of 5 HAVs/Dropships, use only militia gear and make 150 k isk a match. Are you all not using Militia Up links, nano hives, injectors and repair guns? They make bank. |

I like the price increase, makes using the bit of proto gear I have feel real special and an event. If you lose your expensive gear to say dropping into a contested objective and insta die I'd say thats a personal issue. You didnt have to sucide an objective covered in 150 k isk; if there is a high chance of death in the future run militia then every kill you make is like dipping your balls on that A-hole in adv./proto gears face. |

Even prototype gear should be managable even if it is not every round. People will not skill for bread and butter stuff (non rare isk gear) they can't have fun in. There is empire, pirate, and faction warfare gear for Sunday best . Who says prototype should be manageable? Keeping people poor makes mercenary contracts with bigger payoffs more important. If people can just play random fights and they get enough money to run around in top-tier stuff almost all the time, then who would care about doing contracts? What incentive would there be to try and make a bunch of ISK fighting for an EVE corp? The only way to make mercenary work attractive is to make ISK valuable. The way to make ISK valuable is to prevent people from easily having all of it that they want. High prices and low payouts for regular missions ensures that, once doing contracts comes in, people will really want to do them, and they'll really want to win at them, because then they can afford to run around in expensive stuff for a while. Because the alternative is DUST becomes a job to play in a fun way. ISK IS easy to get, especially once the game is live. Good gear should be time or AUR to find, earn, trade for, etc. Stuff you merely unlock should always be accessible. I'm telling you now, before the wipe, the best players in the game were going broke using prototype gear. That doesn't make any sense, and will delete the incentive to skill up in the first place. And that incentive drives the AUR market, aka the long term viability of the game. There can be unaffordable gear, but if that is the same gear that is the reward for leveling up the economy is broken.
It actually makes the gear more valuable as you can pull out the big guns when you want/need to but keeps everyone in a lower tier gear most of the time. You dont have to be math genius to see the relationship.
Its no longer constant proto on proto brutality.
Militia Gear is decent again. |

Nothing has been truly confirmed for launch if it isnt in the beta and even then its subject to change. But they have release pic of drones and talked about it a bit.

Relax guys. The prices are steep, but I think once we get to use Proto gear (no-one is on 8mil sp. I hope), we'll see it dominate. I had mad stats... and I will again.
If it's purely PvP pickup stuff, IMHO the current prices are too high. But only a bit. Advanced should be the dominant suit in most games. tony i officialy give up on trying to understand you. you go from talking nothing but shite about this game to being an advocate for it bro you got some forum bipolarity going on.
Or he changed his mind, its not the end of the world to have a new perspective. |
