Had some time over lunch. Wowza! I gots a lot of learning to do. Played two games in solos. Saw many players, all looked like newbies, all were friendly. But I got straight up laser beamed by the smallest drone ever both games.

That's part of what I love. They're not hard to deal with once you get the hang of it, but they are still always a danger and can never just be ignored.

Craft a Fero. It's the best early game gun by a mile. It's a single shot rifle, but it hits like a truck. It two shots the drones, if you hit the props. It one shots both variants of the the little roller ball enemies.

The other thing to keep in mind is that shields aren't like Halo or Destiny shields. They're not just a second health bar--they only reduce damage taken. I think light shields are like 40% damage reduction, so the shields take damage but a lot of it still bleeds through into your health.
