If I were you I would scout items for your character. It all depends on how you play your style.

Yet, outfit your character.

And remember, buy in bulk unless you can spend the AURUM and buy the BPO (Blue Print Original) of the Militia items so you donGÇÖt need to spend ISK on buying more. Word of Advice: BPOs are for Militia Equipment not for Militia Weapons or Militia Vehicles. You will notice if it is BPO by the blue frame around the picture of the item.

Once you get your dropsuit set you are ready for combat GÇôWRONG!

SKILLS:
When I first started I jumped right into the midst of combat. KITTEN it, I am goddamn RAMBO! I thought to myself as I whipped my Assault Rifle and pumped slugs into a group of strawberries. Several things occurred in that precise moment. 1. I realized that either my targets where all KITTEN-ing Chosen from the Matrix and dodging my bullets or my gun was purposefully created to spray bullets in a pattern to outline my targetsGÇª apparently in order to instill fear GÇôI guess.
2. Once the strawberries realized I was there they decided I need air-holes in order to make my suit quicker.
3. They failed to realize that I should probably get out of my suit before they installed air-holes with their rounds.

After many clones and many defeats I realized that I needed to acquire ranks in skill to better develop my character. Skillpoints are acquired through fighting battles and can be spent in order to raise skills or open new skills. This can be done via the Neocom and SKILLS page or via the MARKET.
I cannot tell you what skills would be best for your style of play, yet I can tell you that you should consider what path you would like to your training. Also Note: that some skills are unavailable to purchase or even view until you acquire other skills (usually they relate).

Thus this information should aid you before you drop from the MCC.

Great Stuff as always Jofur, looking forward to your next post xD (Kinda miss the Old speech pattern but i digress) I'd like to draw something to your attention though. In your post where I have underlined above. It's a little difficult to understand your meaning here and i fear new players may be confused. Either that or YOU are confused but i doubt it. 1.) You CAN purchase BPO Weapons from the Marketplace. 2.) What you, Jofur, are stating that using said weapons is generally not a good idea as it is far more advantageous to use Basic Weaponry because it's cheap, yet more effective by a large margin than the Militia BPO's and you will find yourself having an easier time if you use them. Did I get that right? Keep the faith.

Did I get that right? Keep the faith. I vouch for the 'I am confused' because I have yet come upon BPO weapons. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough. I only saw BPO for Equipment. Thus, I do apologize if I confused anyone. Being cheap for the new player, in my own personal opinion, is very advantageous. I only want newbies (like myself) to pick up cheap-O Militia weapons (if they can find it in BPO form all the better) prior to them spending great amounts of ISK on better quality weapons and finding themselves getting killed and poor within a few combat rounds. d(^_^d ) I suffered DUST poverty for a while and it wasn't pretty. It's under the Militia Tab. Millitia > Weapons
