Somebody forgot to apply the camouflage texture to those Gallente Neo suits, if you go to buy one they look exactly like the prototype ISK variant.

People tell me the high end missile turrets are nice, and that if you zoom in and aren't moving the flight path has something more to do with where you're pointing, but I don't believe them. Use Rail or Hybrid Turrets is my advice.

It doesn't really even do much to prevent AWOXing, because you need to know who the spy is before the round starts.

It'd be cool if you could go and blow up rogue drone hives or pirate bases, surely those factions would have some interest in a thing on a planet. Depending on the art direction and match goals, it could be something really cool. Also aren't there those creepy dog things? Perfect pet for the "space badass" crowd.

They've already shown footage of rogue drone coop PvE stuff. I really wish they'd go ahead and add it in already. The worst part about DUST has to be the absolutely glacial pace of development.

If PvE is an isk fountain and you're allowed to transfer that isk to an eve pilot. It could help save the game. Either way I don't see the PvE being good.

Spot on with that description. They are really taking their time doing anything. With Eve they have 10 years of old code to deal with, which makes some of the changes/updates take a while to roll out completely. Dust is fresh out of beta (heh). I really wonder what they spend their time doing.

lol Their trailers are nothing but lies and bullshit, don't take anything you see in them as fact. Even their "gameplay" trailer which showed orbital bombardments was full of poo poo, and what was actually delivered was your standard, run of the mill precision strike available to all, not an actual orbital.

I wasn't even aware that they intend to have PvE elements. I guess I could see a thing where you buddy up and fight a drone hive with the possibility of finding rare limited-run blueprints to give you an edge in battle, or would that be reacted to negatively by the player-base since it would be "forcing players to PvE" in their PvP game?

Run your free suits. Also check out some of the guides in the OP about how to spend SP. It can be surprising how well you can do with just standard gear. If all else fails, grab your free car, and go run people over.

Also if you are going to use a keyboard and mouse read some of the tips to make it less horrible control wise.

They haven't talked about it in a while, but when they did they said they wanted drones to invade planets and take over districts and that players would have to fight the drone infestation to liberate the district. They also suggested some kind of Dark Souls element to it.

Be prepared to die. A lot. Free suits and cheap suits do not survive nearly as well as advanced and prototype, it's just how it is. You can still be pretty effective though, so don't worry about it too much.

Consider trying out the scout suits, the biggest difference you will notice is the strafe and movement speeds are slower than those other games. The scout suits are armor weak but close to the same speeds as most other FPS.

Man I logged in earlier today to do some AFKing and I was the only one in corp chat :(

How are shotgun scouts now? I had the best time running around Skim Junction in a Type B scout suit, murdering fools with a standard shotgun. Is that still viable? Scouts don't have the same radar radius anymore, which really sucks, but other than that how effective are they now?

Oh and I played around with the fitting tool for Minmatar scouts, and the proto fit only gets you about 430 HP. Yikes. Was it always this low?

Scouts rule. Yes, you're made of paper, but the lower scan profile will keep you off most peoples' radars and you have the agility to dodge and dance around people that are trying to shoot you.

The Gallente Scout skill gives you a bonus to scan radius, which probably puts it back to about the same as pre-Uprising when maxed. Minmatar moves a bit faster and have a melee bonus, but I find the Gallente to be a better balance.

I use the ADV shotgun (CRG-3) and usually take down PRO Medium/Assault suits in 2 good hits, 3 at most. Even the toughest Heavies can't take more than 5 or so, though you'll usually need either some assistance or creative use of cover to pull it off.
