I got a question.
What skills/abilities should I focus my IP on?
It seems that by the time I get done w/ body abilities and body dev. and Weapons, (Assault, burst) I hardly have any left for Nano and speed and such. I know I'm supposed to hit cap, but I'd like to know when I can start pumping IP into my neglected areas.
TY for the help.

IP usage
if you are just lvling to 220, then I would always max base abilities, then your weapon abilities, like Full Auto, and AR, maybe max treatment, and comp lit...but take your time on comp lit, then nano skills I don't buff more than i need just to use current nanos, w/ MP buffs to my nano skills

Re: IP usage
Froob max level is 200. But there are lots of disadvantages to being froob 200. ask me in game lol.
IP distribution is part of the game and how u build your character, this is where the differnce is between 2 chars that are the same. Its down to personal play style.
You will NOT have enough ip to increase all the skills u want until u reach Title Level Cap. This will be around lvl 130-150, when u have spare ip.
These are some guildlines for u:
Abilities: http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/4145/0 ... 212vm4.png
Always MAX these skills, and treatment skill. This will allow u to put in higher ql implants to boost your other skills.
Body: http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/7761 ... 653ez1.png
perfect. Just max body dev and increase your nano pool slighlty so u have enough HP and nano to cast.
Melee: None (I'm a Soldier)
great. perfect.
Misc. Weapons: http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/4386 ... 045fc2.png
You may want to increase Sharp objects skill for a special item called Kizzermole Gumboils, they are used as an extra attack, skill is 300 i think.
Grenade, same as above, ucan buy grenades from shop that do an area attack, not very usefull but good for kiting lots of mobs. This is up to u.
Ranged: http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/9092/scrn0003hd7.png
increase the skills needed for your wepon. nothing else. (picture would not load for me btw)
Speed: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/4132/scrn0004tn1.png
great. max ranged init (speed at which u fire your wepon)
max evades, mainly Evade-clsc (close combat), dodge, less important at low level Duck-exp. Depending on what u want to do (pvp or missions) max nano resist or increase atleast. not too important for missions unless u find yourself rooted all the time.
runspeed... im a fixer, MAX IT!!!!! runaway when in trouble lol
Trade & Repair: http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/6210/scrn0005my0.png
pic not load. but Comp lit increase slightly so u can fit better ncu chips, easily done with implants. dont bother wiht other tradeskills, u are soldier not tradeskiller (engy, trader,fixer)
Nano & Aiding: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5523/scrn0006wl0.png
only increase so that u can cast your nanos at current level. u do not need to max these skills. so u use a bit of planning and check what nanos and the max skill requirements are. but max treatment and first aid. so that u can heal yourself
Spying: http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/5421/scrn0007mb8.png
break and entry/ trap disarm are important if u are going to be doing lots of missions to open doors, diffuse traps. so if u go mission and the door is locked and u cant open it, increase these skills. perception is required for a few items, not too important at your current level. but u will prolly increase later.

u will need to increase vehicle air when u get a yalm. u can also get a ground vehicle which is alot less ip called a Kodiak ( and cheeper). these are easily increased with implants. map navi, only increase slighklty so that u can upload maps and machines, use implants instead of wasting ip. this skill can NOT be reset, so dont waste ip on it.
hope this advice helps, u doing fine by the looks of it

Main abilities: max: stamina, strength, agility others should always be 70% or more
Body dev: always maxed Nanopool: depending on what nanos you're using but keep it on 70% and it should be ok
Melee: nothing
Misc. Weapong: you should not waste IP there (for kizzermoles you can just use implants for them without using IP)
Ranged: Ok, you should reset a few IMO and decide which weapon you are going to use. As froob there arent many IP Reset's and you might want to save them
Div9 / BBI or Hellspinner are the best options that you have atm. I have got BBI's somewhere. You can twink the ql200 one at level 125 (it costs only 2m which is very cheap for an "endgame - or almost endgame weapon", and they are easier to find and cheaper than Div9's also, those skills will help you if you get expansions someday.
Speed: Ranged init, Nano init (you dont really need it), Nano resist (you dont need it for PvM). Evades: (Dodge, Clsc, Duck exp) max them when you can - they're useful. If you get rooted you can use free movements (you can find them on First Aid terminals - same as kit aids (they are color back and they need 1st aid skill + Computer Literacy)
Trade & Repair: Only Computer Literacy for Belt, NCU chips, and better prices at shops when buying/selling.
Nano & Aiding: you need them for this buffs:
MM - AC, DMG, Heal
BM - HP, Heal
PM - Stats, Weapon Skills
MC - AC, HP, DMG, Shield
TS - Shield
SI - Stats, Weapon Skills
1st Aid: its personal but I would keep it 50% or less
Treatment: only raise it when you get better implants - Dont waste IP, there are many buffs/items that you can use to get implants on.
The most important buff are: Stats (Like riot control, offensive streamroller, total focus, etc) Weapon skills: they increase your weapon skills (at higher lvl you can only get those nanos from dynas). Shield: for RRFE/TMS which is the most important as a soldier. Others are not that important
Spying: B&E about 40% so you can open mission chest's. Trap disarm you dont need it... if you find a trap just sit and heal and you'll be fine
Navigation: VA when you get a yalm. Map Navig for PF Map upgrades but be careful with it, you cant reset it.
If you want advice from a froob you can ask Trenchbroom ingame, he was froob for a long time. He was also the best froob soldier that I knew of, but he got expansions 8) Hitemhard is another froob soldier, he is wesome aswell, plays another character but I forgot his name. My froob soldier is retired, I got him to lvl 115ish only.
