Well my contribution on this forum in the near future will be mostly advice, although I am sure that my guides continue to provide a useful resources for new players and players changing roles.

Not enough tank, I tried it before my second respec. Std gear only but in my experience unless you got the drop with a charged shot you just couldn't stay alive long enough in a firefight.

I happened to see Chank up on your list of grantees....are all the other spreadsheeters getting some love too? (ie me and hydraslav?)

At the very least hydraslav should be on your list seeing as his fitting tool is beyond impressive and represents multiple days worth of manhours.

Funny you should mention it because I just started experimenting with the Assault Scrambler Rifle/SMG combo. Assault Scrambler Rifle gives range, and strips shields, while I use Breach SMG with its increased armour damage to finish them when I get close enough. I picked up the Scrambler Rifle because I was tired of not having enough range to shoot across a street.

Now that said, I must admit that I have been using an Assault suit. I have found the fitting requirements too tight to fit a Drop uplink with the Assault Scrambler Rifle equipped, so if the fitting is that tight on an Assault suit I am unsure if I could make a decent Scout suit fit with the Scout suits that I have access to. I may give it a try, but I will have to delete an existing fit to make room for the new one.

I am working on my biggest guide yet:

Fox Guide: Frontline, a Medium Infantry manual

Here is my rough outline of section headings, and I am sure there are sections I am not thinking of.

- Using Cover
- Not being Sniper bait
- Use your Ears

- Communication
- Direction, Distance, and Position

- Cover me IGÇÖm Hacking
- Kill an Uplink, Stop an Army
- Targeting Priorities
- How to kill a Heavy
- Dealing with Enemy Tanks
- Suppression fire, Area denial
- Rapid Transport, Have LAV will Travel
- Air Transport, Using Dropships (clear LZ, get in, get out when pilot tells you)

- Keeping your Heavy alive
- Locating and calling Sniper Positions
- Protect your Tank

- When to Rep and when to Shoot.
- When to Stick-em, and when to let em die

This will just cover the basics, the rules of thumb when you are starting out. They can read the specialty guides to learn when it is appropriate to break those rules of thumb.

Tebu's Tankers guide

Hey not interested in the isk, not important for me. I put a lot of work into this, I'm just happy to help the nubs:) I will say, a lot of people have put a lot of time into their guides, the only important thing is a little appreciation for what they have done.

+1 to you my friend

Look can I apply for a grant?

I finally finished the first draft of my Frontline, Medium Frame Infantry guide. It came out to 18.5 pages in Word Perfect, which will probably translate into around 10 posts on the forum. I will probably have to reserve 15 posts to have room for future expansion. I guess I will have to include a linked index on something that big.

I still have to proof read it, so it probably wonGÇÖt show up on the forums until sometime next week.

Hey Bojo, been awhile. Contact me in game. I'll front the rest of RedBleach LeSanglant's grant. It's what got me into logi-ing waaaaay back in January 2012.
