Created a build and fitting for guys starting out with the game. It is a shield tanking assault rifle assault which costs 565950 SP:
Fitting
1x Militia Minmatar Medium Suit OR 1x Militia Caldari Medium Suit
2x Enhanced Shield Extenders
1x Basic Armor Plate
1x GEK Assault rifle
1x Militia Grenade
1x Militia Nanohive
Skills
Dropsuit Upgrades 2
Dropsuit Armor Upgrades 1
Armor Plating 1
Dropsuit Core Upgrades 1
Dropsuit Electronics 1
Dropsuit Engineering 1
Dropsuit Shield Upgrades 1
Shield Extension 3
Weaponry 3
Light Weapon Operation 1
Assault Rifle Operation 3
This should give you:
- Good speed (even though you have an armor plate).
- Good tank (461 EHP for militia caldari medium, 416 with militia minmatar medium).
- Good gank with level 3 in AR.
- Some basic resupply with nanohive.
- Grenades to start practicing cooking.
You can then continue to build on this toward caldari/minmatar assault or logistics suit if you so prefer. |

Well, I dont know why you would want to repair armor on a shield suit. But sure, that could work.
Probably better to just replace the armor plate(s) with a shield regulator in that case.
But for new players increasing the survivability is prime, regen is only a luxury IMO.
I wanted to add, if you-¦re new to the game and read this thread. Feel free to contact me ingame and I will try to help create a good fitting with the corresponding skills going for any basic class you desire, using militia/standard gear. |

Thing is, caldari/minmatar dropsuits get only extra low slots going from MLT to STD. This does not help a shield tanker with low skill points a lot. The MLT class of dropsuits are also EXTREMELY cheap, which is why I did not recommend going into anything more than MLT. Shield extenders are more worth putting the money on. Also, for new guys, specing into a specific dropsuit should maybe be done at a later stage, when you exactly know what to play.
About the assault rifle, sure, going STD level is good enough (im using the toxin AR and it is fking awesome, since I did not spec into AR at all).
Could recommend going for the SMG instead of the AR. This weapon is however crippled by range, and requires more tactical coordination and retreat than a AR.
Would not recommend the scrambler rifle to start with. It is however quite good at the standard level if you can use the charge shot and one hit kill people.
dropsuit modules (extenders, plates) and core skills are IMO a higher priority than anything else when you are new, I cannot stress this more!
Also, do not spec into the weapon dmg mods until you have a good tank. You will not gain much from these unless you have over 5 million SP. |

You remember that caldari suits have a quite good shield regen, right? :) You do not need regen mods on that one. A armor plates gives the new players a buffer to regen the shield, and practice what you mentioned above, and is thereby the better option. |

Shield upgrades only apply to suit.
Edit: People seem to forget that you get 5% shield module efficiency when specing into shield modules.
the scaling of shield modules are (without mods): 1x 1.5x 3x of the basic shield module
if you have LVL 3 in shield extension this scaling becomes: 1.15x 1.725x
with lvl 5 in shield extension: 1.25x 1.875x 3.75x |

Of course, there are millions of ways of doing this.
I tried applying the OP build on my brother, when he tried the game out, and it is working out all right. He is now soon in ADV suit with 3 ADV shield extenders. He can take out most protos with his GEK, since hes a skilled player. |

Im not an EVE player :-)
But I used to craft templates in Dark Age of Camelot which are similar in some sense to dropsuits. I am also an engineer, which kind of explains why I find these things fun to do.
Couldn-¦t agree more about the merc pack. They can potentially lay out a very good base for you to grow on.
EDIT: Also, im not a newberry. Started playing in open beta. Made this thread for guys just starting out. |
