Yes indeed, very nice tips. I started a new character and followed your directions.. I now have an amazing character compared to my previous starts. (Name: Valorgardian)
I have not sold my sunglasses yet, because they are well, cool, and It took alot of work to gain enough credits to buy them. I upgraded my pistols and man I manage to survive harder fights and thus gain more xp.
BTW My new char is at level 9 after about 4 hours, not bad considering 3 of those four hours were spent on Newbie isle collecting enough credits, and all the required parts.
If you catch me online I have a few 'novel' items found on newbie isle that you might have some use for. I don't remember the names but I have 4 power supples and a large group of CPU clusters or something along those lines.
Anyway, I like this game, but it really shines when you team up. Solo, is a pain and I can see how AT is having trouble getting past newbie isle. But hey, If he makes it past that and finds the joys of teamwork, then I think he'll be hooked.
Nuf said, Cheers!
