And I'm not really sure how blueprints work or how to get them or what they are so if you could explain that too it would really help. I am just starting out and the game is a little complicated but I get the gist of a lot of it and I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how it all works by reading the forms and asking question.
Thanks for your help
CCP developed this game, its older brother EVE Online, and World of Darkness (in development).
CPU (I assume is still "central processing unit") in conjunction with PG (powergrid) is what limits your suit and vehicle module fitting capacity as well as the slot lay out.
There are some skills you would find useful on any dropsuit. The first thing you need to figure out is what type of clone mercenary you want to build. Once you know that, you should have a pretty good idea of which weapon and dropsuit you want to use. The best explanation I've found was that your dropsuit is like your house. You can skill into all these fancy modules if you want to, but if you're dropsuit can't fit it, you won't do yourself any good. Does that mean you should go straight to prototype suits and ignore everything else? No. I kept everything as level as I could. When I had standard dropsuits I could use standard and enhanced modules. When I had advanced dropsuits I could use enhanced and complex. Once I hit prototype, all modules were of the complex variety because of the order I increased my skills.
All suits will eventually need CPU/PG skills, either with reduced requirements or increasing the suit's total. I wouldn't focus on them right away, but adding a level to them here and there will benefit you and give you more breathing room with your fittings.
By blueprints I'm assuming you mean blueprint originals which are an infinite supply of a given module, weapon, equipment piece, or dropsuit. They're purchasable using AUR on the marketplace. A few different blueprint originals (BPO) are also available with the different mercenary packs you can get from PSN. These aren't to be confused with blueprint copies (BPC) which are finite.
Good luck in your endeavors. Never be too shy to ask questions.  |
