To say I don't understand this game is an understatement. So:
1. Dropsuits need to be purchased. With the exception of the starter builds (and even starter builds if you try to remove / add something), everything loses one item, every single time you die. That's why i'm constantly hearing "don't buy overly expensive gear". But does this apply to the actual dropsuits themselves or not? Do I need to be stocking X amount of whatever suit i'm using? As well as X amount of gear on said suit?
2. Blueprint items (look to be exclusively militia type gear?) are the exception to the "losing one" rule above. Correct? What about featured suits (that have icons that look like blueprint items?) or AUR bought gear?
3. I'm coming out of Academy (if that's the term for it?) matches with between 2k - 5k SP. Is this normal? It's saying I need 300+k of SP to get something to level 3
4. If I partake in the "second tab" (can't remember the actual name) battles in the battlefinder, will I be unable to join acadamy battles again?
5. Looking on my skills / planning skills, I keep seeing multiplyers. What do these reflect? (don't say multiplication)
6. I'm seeing a lot of talk about LAV's and HGV's and the like and haven't got a clue what they mean. Is there a jargon buster kicking around?
7. How do I / is it possible to swap characters without quitting the game?
8. Are there any training corps out there that cover stuff THIS basic? And how would one join said training corps?
I honestly feel like a right numpty here.
That's pretty much all I got for now. No doubt i'll have more to add once I get home and actually get to play the game and become confused again.
As always, help is appreciated. |

You guys all rule. Seriously. You should be MODs or something. This has helped no end.
Apologies for killing the quote machine btw :P
I haven't added any further questions yet because the internet is down at home, so can't play, but the answers i've received have been clear and concise with examples. I couldn't have asked for more. Well... maybe pretty pictures...
Thanks guys |

Okay guys, Virgin actually came through for once so I got to blitz a couple of hours of matches! With the information provided above, a lot of the game has clicked into place. Thankyou so much!
So, to continue:
1. Multipliers again; what is this base value? I get that it's x2 & x4 of something, but what?
2. What is the relevance of the star map? Does it do anything at this point?
3. I've been booted out of academy properly now - got the four games to choose from none of which are academy - but what's the red dot on the left of mercenary matches significant for? And should I actually attempt to participate in them yet?
4. When is a good time to actively set up alts?
5. I've been eyeing up those lovely sounding drop ships (especially the logi ones!), but at what point should I be looking at vehicle setups? Think this would tie in to number 4?
6. I've been picking up the odd weapon in salvage that's too high spec for me right now. Can I sell it at all?
7. I'm seeing balance now, where once there was chaos. You have vehicles / suits that either have a higher armour or a higher shield and can apply mods (or whatever they're called?) to make up the difference. Correct? Is this the definition of "speccing into it"?
8. I've tried to access something earlier that took me to an EVE login that asked for my username? I don't recall ever having set one up and it's not accepting my Dust details. Do I have to sign up for EVE?
Once again, sorry for killing the quote machine and Thankyou for any and all replies. |
