eh, i'm starting this build the same as i started last build... i ran my starter fits as long as i could. saved my isk, and leveled up as much as i could. sure, my kdr stunk for the first 2 weeks or so, but by the middle of the build i got the suits i wanted with the equipment i wanted, evened everything out, and was running a positive kdr and had 8M isk in the bank. if we wouldn't have gotten wiped i would be rolling pretty large right now. don't forget, if you got the skinwave suits... use them. they are basically militia suits, but they are free, so the load out doesn't cost much for some weapons and mods. heck, i got the toxin smg and 50 grenades and 50 shot guns for nothing.... so assault rifle (i got the aur from the merc pack, so i was using the killswitch ar for free), and some mods... not too much isk there. i might not be #1 killer, but circle holding and waste gunning in havs and drop ships pays the bills.
this game is about economics as much as it is about melting faces. budget, budget, budget. sure the proto stuff looks enticing, but is it worth the cost right now? my goal is to get to a level II suit and redo the load out i had last build. i had over 500hp in defense and was doing pretty well.
the main isk killer is skill books. that is why i'm running cheap and lean. saving my isk for books. once my books are bought, i sit on them until i have the right skills i want. after that... bring on the better load outs. i can live with a .50 kdr for a couple of weeks because i know in another week or so, i'm back to a 1+ kdr with enough isk in the bank to have enough fits to last me until next wipe... lol. oh, and did i mention i'm only a weekend warrior?
btw... in terms of proto gear... for assault suits anyway... you can buy almost 4 class A suits for the price of 1 proto suit. you can buy 3 gek 38 ARs for the price of 1 duvalli. if you look at the stats of this proto gear, the duvalli is not very comparable for price (only 3hp better?) and the proto assault suit (aside from the extra cpu, pg, and slots) is it really worth it? tbh, i'm waiting for the class B assault suit (shield is better), because i figure it's just like a class II but with better cpu, pg, and the extra slots... like how the class A is a class I with the better features. |

Dont forget guys, you still have to take into account the sale of goods yet to come into play, I have 18 vehicles and 25 suits and whole bunch of things that I dont need.
These alone will come to millions , I know, the 10 ships are 460K each. Give them a little time to implement the exchange good, which I sure hope they do.
you could also try setting yourself a buffer of ISK, use pure militia until you can keep a constant buffer of iso. Seems to work for me. On the previous build I would keep a buffer of 10 Million and 50 complete suits.
As were only 3 days into this build I have about 20 suits and 1 million ISK, which I dont use. Simple rule, Cant afford it, dont buy it. !
