Not enough to cover my losses it seems

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.

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

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

Are you sure? Because that would seem to defeat the purpose of making militia items cost ISK. It would also create a third and very odd classification of gear, Non-BPO items that when grouped together become BPO.

But is it poor execution on my part or is it the game mechanics in and of themselves? I don't see any other Close Quarters Scouts out on the field anymore - the be completely honest and I think there's a reason O_o;

Okay. Look I'm gonna make this simple. It's on the player themselves. Simple as that. Stop making excuses for everything. Avoiding? No. I have answered this twice now. You say well some people won't have this or that option. Well the truth is that you can always purchase the AUR, or look at the player market to purchase AUR or BPO iterms for your ISK. In the end ISK will always be more valuable then AUR, and players want more and more ISK. If you are having issues look at yourself, and what you are doing wrong. Also the 'Dragonfly' which I have spent over a hundred hours using alone is a good dropsuit, but like any piece of equipment or gear it is only as good as the player behind wielding it.

[Player skill > Passive character skills > equipment & gear]

Also the 'Skinweave' dropsuits are a fantastic dropsuit especially early on, and for most combat incursions. It's on the player though in the end. The real difference between higher tier dropsuits is slots, PG (Power Grid) and CPU (Central Processing Unit) power output. Again all which can be manipulated by passive skills.

Just be thankful that CCP was kind enough to give everyone pre-loaded infinite loadouts for your character classification which to fall back on. Because, I doubt I'd have been that kind.

Now if you want to discuss whether or not the ISK also has a degredation effect this build like skil points, then discuss that. Otherwise this whole thread boils down to a "you the player" sort of problem. Is that harsh? Maybe, but then again so is New Eden, and the EVE universe. Balance your assets, and plan, plan, plan. If you are not five steps ahead on what you need or want to do then you are three steps back too far, and this game will devour you.

My Assault fit uses 50 of:
Militia Sheld Regen
Militia Shield Boost
Militia Assault Rifle
Militia Sub Machine Gun
Militia Locus Grenade
Militia Nanohive
Militia Armor Regen

lost 3 one game. cost to restock: over half the ISK reward

Of course you don't see the CQC Scout. The majority of the maps are hilly plains (oxymoron). One team on one side, one on the other, and you have hills in-between. You don't go using CQC suits when you're fighting long range maps. You do use CQC suits when you're in a building, or Close Quarters.

starter gear is what's best to use when your low on ISK. if you delete em, well you just won't be able to get in when you run out

though it does suck that milita gear isn't infinite anymore. but it makes sense, they need some kind of income right?

mostly the only way you can get by is being selective in how you spend ISK

i know you can, he just wanted to find out what happens after deleting em, and i'm just saying after that, all you have is exhaustible stuff. and when they exhaust, thats it
