Did you get any WP?
If not, you've hit the SP cap.
After hitting the cap, you earn SP only for the WP you earned in battle, and even then you have a limit of 1000 SP you can earn. If you don't do anything, you don't get WP until the reset. |

It resets every Wednesday, I think (I'd have to check).
But if you're playing and not earning WPs, you're not actually doing anything, so you shouldn't really be getting any reward for that. You're already earning passive SP just for having a character. |

So you've spent two days AFKing, and it stopped earning you SP, so you don't want to "play" any more when you're not actually playing anyway?
If that's what really happened, cool story. Can I have your stuff? |

i bet others make the skill point cap in a day If you enjoy simply playing for the sake of playing, then there's your point. You still get the small amounts of SP, and you also get the normal amount of ISK and salvage. And it's the way it is because of those people who'd hit the SP cap in a day. Not quite as fair to people who actually have to go to school/uni/work and don't have quite as much time to play as them. i like to make some progress while im playing
You're in New Eden. Salvage and ISK are progress. Without gear, you're not making the best use of your SP investments. |

Just get in with a good corp that can teach you all the basics and you'll be a Tad bit safer from the pubstomps by running with a squad, as long as that squad is more experienced than you. Also with uprising I think you'll find public matches less challenging. im perfectly able to kill pubstompers on my own...just the fact they will have 4 times the health i have and this stupid skill cap
Not many - even the pubstompers - will have more than double the health of a well-fitted new player, but they often also have about 150% damage on top of the added health, which makes it feel like you're weaker than you are. You're using something that looks and sounds like the same gun, but doesn't hit as hard, while they also have more health to work with.
And yes, progress is slow, but it still only takes a couple of weeks to get to a reasonable level of durability and destructive capabilities, and while there's still a lot more you can improve, you should be on a better level to handle the tougher high-level opponents as well as the guys who are only there from grinding.
Also, sorry for starting off so rude. I'm a fan of the harsher end of EVE Online (even though I don't play) and DUST. I like a lot of the harsher elements, and sometimes (especially when I'm not in the best of health, like tonight) I let my manners slip more than they probably should. |

Patience, good sir.
You CAN be useful with your lower SP and less experience, and you WILL get there. There isn't a hard limit on how high someone's SP can go, but there's a limit where it stops providing direct advantage. Training into different elements in the game will give you advantages for certain scenarios, but if you have only a million SP and spend it all on buffing your Assault suits and ARs, and someone else has 5 million SP invested in Shotgun Scouts, if that 5 million SP guy runs an Assault with an AR, they won't have much - if any - advantage over you, because that's not where they invested their skills. SOME of the passives will help, but most of their skills will be irrelevant, and those which are relevant are things you'll have some SP in as well. |
