First. Scopes on Assault rifles. I see them but not sure how to use them. Is this a glitch? Or some rifles dont have them and some do. Which ones?

The tactical assault rifles have scopes on them, on the other variants the scope is just a decoration.

2nd. This is technical question. I have a militia sniper rifle and a Sniper rifle. They both do same dmg. But sniper has 5 shots in chamber. Then I bought a NT-511T Sniper Rifle. The only difference from that and a Sniper rifle. Is, 9.6 dmg. But the cost is over 6,000 isk. But the sniper is just under 2,500 isk. Not sure on exact numbers. What I am asking is. Is it worth 4k more isk for 9.6 more dmg? Shouldnt there be more dmg or other increase stats?! I thought an upgrade was ment to feel like an upgrade. I barely see a difference at all. Wait. I feel the difference when I die 10 times in a match. Specially with my first tier scout suit that cost like 7,000 isk.

There is more to a sniper rifle than just it's damage, like lower scope sway, faster rate of fire, less recoil and a higher meta-level(although no one knows exactly what it does).

3rd. How do I salvage? I have items I dont want and wish to get rid of em but not waste the isk I spent on it. Is there a way? or has it not yet been implemented?

The only way you can get salvage is after matches, and they are always random drops. At the moment you can not get rid of them

4th.. Will we be able to send isk to other ppl? Or can we do that now? if so, how?

You can indirectly send ISK to your corp mates through the donations function. You donate the money you want your friend have to the corp, then ask the director/CEO to give the ISK to your friend. If your friend is in another corp, too bad. CCP is planning on implementing player trade at some point though.

5th. Is there anything on the other side of those two doors in the merc quarters? or will there ever be? if so, what? And can I make a suggestion? Make it possible to group up in a big corp building with other members in your corp and have stuff to do while chilling in the corp quarters. That would be fun to do if I didnt want to do a match that moment and also be able to mengle with other members in my corp.

In EVE the door on the wall would lead to the hangar, where your ship would be stored. The other door behind the corner leads to the station interior, where we can interact with other players SoonTM

6th. How am I suppose to get that many SP?! My sniper rifle upgrade is at lvl 4 and to get it to lvl 5 I need 300,000 SP! I get like on average about, 3k sp. I do about 4 - 7 matches a day. How am I suppose to upgrade all those things? There must be a way that doesnt involve hours and hours of mind numbing grinding? I thought we can all agree thats one thing ppl hate about mmos....

Get some active and passive boosters, they should help you remove some of the time needed to get the things you want, but you will still have to grind a lot.

7th. Is there a way to get exact stat info in game on stats? I see this does that but not sure what THAT does. If anyone knows what I mean. please help. By stats I mean. on suits, weapons, equipment, and vehicles. What is meta lvl? also if its higher does that mean weapons do more crits?? can weapons crit??

No, weapons do not do crit damage, and no one really knows what meta level means on different items. If you want to get exact stats on different items, press Triangle when you are browsing them on the market

8th and final question. This is more of a request. Can when I hit an enemy. Have numbers in a neat and orderly fashion be displayed on my screen to help with stats. and Data collection. Like the distance between my fun and the object Im looking in a scope is. Or weapon dmg on a target appear and float away slowly fading. I really want to know how far an object is when I look at it on my scope. Also want to be able to see the dmg I am doing to the target. As well as TELL IF I AM HITTING THEM!!! Its hard to tell if I hit them or not. Of course this could be turned off in the options menu. DMG numbers I mean. The distance thing should be on all the time but in a small little box to the right of where your dot is in the center of screen.

Go to the Feedback and Suggestions forum if you want to implement damage numbers. And as far as I know you get a big red X on your crosshair to indicate that you hit an enemy. As for range indicators, I have sometimes seen the range on enemies when I've pointed my crosshair at them, but at best it is unreliable since it doesn't seem to work on really long distances.

Thank you for reading this and answering any of the questions I asked.
