I only run militia or T1 suits/gear/mods/equipment. Weapons are a different story.
I have higher tier mods and equipment but I rarely use them anymore because I was hemorraging ISK. It was a hard lession to learn because I'm stubborn. And I, like Pent'noir stated, suck at this game. My suggestion is this: figure out what your best role is and buy the BPO's for that. Run that for awhile and build up your bank account. I understand this is supposed to be free to play (which it is) and not a pay to win game (which it isn't). But having BPO's helps A LOT. When you run almost free every match it's really hard to run out of ISK... I said hard, not impossible... |

Descretion is the better part of valor. Pick your battles.
If you run your best gear all the time, which is dumb, but don't have the skill to stay alive, there is no one hit kill/uber defense set up vs. everything, and you burn through all your best gear, which it sounds like your doing, than you are doing it wrong. This is a game about choices and consequences. Your complaining that the pay out for ISK is too low to run the best stuff your qualified to run all the time, really? If your not going to take the advice of the numerous people who have posted in the thread you started than here is the best advice I can give you:
HTFU, adapt, get good, and don't use what you can't afford to lose.
The upper tier isn't out of reach. Save your sp and specialize in something. Max it out and move on to some other skill that complements your play style and match a fitting to it, don't force a fitting into a role and/or situation it or you can't handle. That may require running and/or hiding. Wash, rinse and repeat. If you want to run in and kill things then you spent a bunch of SP on sniper rifles for nothing...
I break out my best gear in critical situation or if I think I got a shot at one of the top players. That's it. And don't forget, a good player wearing all militia gear can take out a bad player wearing all proto. And teams generally trump the lone wolf. Find some squad mates. Take the advice these people have given you and try it out. It does work. It took me awhile to figure that out. This isn't Mundane Warfare or Checkers of Duty. You die in the chess game here there is consequenses other than your kdr... or will be after release...
Btw - I've seen you in game a few times. You're not bad from what I remember. Take the advice in your thread and you'll get better returns on your sp/isk investments faster. And have some patience. |

Going to also add, don't forget about the SP cap. Once you start having some good matches for you, don't compare yourself to other players much, you will start to find that your SP gains start to drop. Thats where the booster come in. The active, so I've been told, also raises, or is suppose to raise, the weekly cap. Whether it does or not, it does help with gaining SP. The passive booster bumps your down time SP earning from 1 SP every 4 seconds to 1 SP every 3 seconds. Doesn't seem like much but over the course of a week or two it adds up quick. But both of them cost real money so, play what you can afford. You don't really need them tbh, but they do help in reaching those higher tier skills faster.
Good hunting. |
