I've now exhausted all of my suits and don't have the ISK to afford all militia gear - despite having a permanent Dragonfly suit and Submachine Gun.

After these last five suits I will be down to using the starter gear.

Anyone else having this issue?

Dude! I fail to understand how you loose so many suits and not have enough Isk to buy more! Are you going positive or negative in the games? I dont mean to be rude but if you dont have enough isk to buy militia stuff you probably want to find a corp that will train you!

Last build I went full on smg. That doesn't seem to fit with this build. I am adapting and trying a medium range fit.

You can easily recreate the starter fits. Just select the Assault - XXX suit when creating a new fit, instant starter fit.

Also: Dragonfly suit + Tox SMG are a valid fit. You should be able to earn a few ISK with that.

Not enough to cover my losses it seems

Officially out of suits and can't afford to restock

Officially out of suits and can't afford to restock

To answer all of your questions:

1.) The Dragonfly and Toxin suits are free - yes - but militia gear now costs per unit and the costs are rather high. My current fit is around 14,000 isk and I'm making around 90,000 - 120,000 isk a game.

2.) I am in a Corporation as can be seen beneath my name on the left, and just happen to be one of the primary squad leaders ^_^;;;

3.) I shouldn't have to get a hand-out from my corporation. What were to happen if I weren't in a corporation and were more of an introverted solo player?

4.) I don't intend to use Aurum for BPO items for two reasons. a.) because it seems pay-to-win. b.) I'm trying to simulate a player that would not normally have access to those things as not all players will invest in Aurum to play the game.

buy BPO militia gear if u got aur

EDIT: Deleted my starter gear to see what happens when I can't afford militia gear and have no starter suits. Beta testing like a pro xD

Edit: I'd imagine I would be a lot better off if I had went into one of my former specializations that I had used in previous builds as I had always had a kill-to-death ratio of above two-to-one. However, I am trying to simulate a player who isn't as skilled and thusly am going with the most difficult specialization this build has to offer which is the Close Quarters Scout build.

With this in mind, if a skilled player can't at least remain in the positives in both ISK and combat effectiveness, we can't honestly expect someone fresh to be able to do so - at this point the player would probably just quit but I've got a pretty obtuse resolve for trying to make it work xD

I have a closed quarter scout suit with a shotgun, and while he dies in seconds, he also is very fast. I can take out groups of up to three people with it, depending on how well prepared I am, how they are positioned, the terrain (and lady luck of course). But I don't use it exclusively. It all depends on the situation. But even with a 14000 ISK fit, you can die about 12 times in a match and still stay positive. Even I can do that with my scout alone, and I would not describe myself as the most skilled player (together with my horrible latency of up to 2s).

And as I said, you can ALWAYS recreate the starter fits, if you deleted them. There is never a situation where you can't play because you don't have the ISK to afford a fit, just like you always have a rookie ship in EVE.

And if the class you chose doesn't work for you, field something else. Even the stupidest player will get behind that, so you don't need to simulate someone who doesn't

your rally bad lol

& CCP wants to make money.... 200 Aurum out of the 40,000 I got and I am sitting on 5 million isk.....which will be eaten by attempt to go into dropships again.

I'm guessing your Logi guys weren't able to revive you.

Once I had 2 mil in the bank, I started using Basic gear that I had enough SP to unlock..... from there my ISK went up to the 250,000 mark, with a good squad leader, even with basic and dying a ton in games I still made money somehow.

What some folks don't realize is that your starter fits DO cost ISK now. .

Spend less isk until you get better skills, that's all there is to it. I'm far from a hardcore player and I had over 15 million isk at the end of the last build, and I'm sitting on 2 million right now. I mostly use the starter fits, or modified militia fits that cost me around 5000 isk per death. The only time I wind up spending most of my isk earned in a match replacing my losses is when I say **** it and go hog wild with laser rifles the whole match. Because lazorz are awesome.

2.) True about fielding something - BUT - you shouldn't -have- to do that. A player should be able to specialize in what they want, not what they have to.
