I'm rocking, but I think I need some advice again.

Well, so far I've been rocking hard tasty abs all around Bori doing missions. Made it to level 11 and almost level 12.

However, I needeth some advice. While I am rocking I have a decent gun, newbie armor, and a very pathetic lack of implants. Now, I was okay with this till my level 7 friend killed a level 11 beastie faster then I can due to his buffness. What did this tell me? I need to buff up and rock Tenacious D style.

So, I have 800k credits to burn (saving 200k) and need to find a way to improve my wimpy non implanted soldier. Any recommedations?

Also, as a side note what should my skills and abilities be if I am a assault rifle (energy assault rifle) using soldier? I've been boosting up Rang init, energy ranged, assault rifle, burst, and fling shot along with run speed and another one or two skills and my abilities are 39 str, 39 stam, 39 agility, 22 sense, 22 int, 39 psy, and nano I haven't touched.

edit: oh yeah, and should I train in heavy weapons or leave that alone if I am going to use assault rifles as my main guns? does heavy weapons come in handy later on with big assault rifles?

Good god, 800k at lvl 11??
the world economy really IS outta whack these days.
(Back in MY day...)
I never had that kinda resources. ^_^

Heavy Weapons = Grenade Launchers and the like. Assult Rifs will always use that skill. ^_^

I suggest maxing out the ones you already have. Take a peek at some of the nanos your profession can use, and raise the appropriate Nano'esq skills. The Soldier doesn't get many, so you won't have to deversify very much.
Look at soldier nanos that buff your damage, attack skills, and defences.
Look at General buffs that will, increase your gun skills, Stats (for equiping stuff), and general aiding.
Also, I think it's the Comp Lit. skill... (It's been a while, and I'm off world), the one that allows you to equip a better belt. You want that high so you can equip the largest slotted bet possable. That way other classes (such as doctors) can buff you up.

I'll let someone else handle the topic of implants. ^_^ That was never my strong point. I was always leveling to fast to really concentrate on low lvl implants for to long. ^_^ So, unless anyone has any pointers, I can just suggest one thing--

-- Browse the store implants section. Look for implants that will raise your Hit Points, and your Assult Rifle skill (maybe even flingshot and burst ^_^, if you use those). Additionally armor protection is neat, but more HP is important, ^_^
