You really expect to be able to make money driving a Sagaris or Surya every single match?
Advanced and Prototype dropsuits aren't meant to be used every single match, so infantry will need to "save up ISK" in Milita and Standard gear (and Milita gear won't be free soon). Likewise Advanced and Prototype tanks shouldn't be used every single match, so try using Milita and Standard tanks most of the time, and then bring out the big boys for the big battles.

Advanced gear is not meant to make isk. Oh that makes sense. If only the Sica could survive for 15 seconds out there against swarm launchers.
Yes, the tanks are underpowered right now. They'll get better. Oh, and the Sica and Soma aren't completely worthless in the hands of a great driver, even in their current state.

Please tell me where I said good players can't afford running Advanced/Prototype all the time right now. Of course they can when they're up against crap players. Don't expect them to be able to against an entire team of good players. |

Currently with no data, I do not believe the claim that a militia tank is not completely useless in the best of hands.
Like I said, the tanks are underpowered right now, but will get better. Therefore you can't really make money using them right now, Milita or Prototype. That doesn't mean they're completely worthless.
I was doing some testing in tanks a few days back. I was running in about 400k fits (Somas). I was playing by myself, so I only got some random gunners that were crap to be honest. I didn't find the tank worthless, and I'm not even that good at driving tanks.
Goliath Raven wrote:My understanding is that the only reason you would have to save up is if you were losing money.
And you don't think you would be losing ISK using nothing but Proto suits against a full team of good players? |
