Anyone got tips for starting a Force?

I just started a FOmarl last night. Sexy little thing I might add

Anyway, I have heard that Forces are really good at advanced levels, but are hard as hell to get to that point. I'm starting to believe it.

The only technique I started with was Foie. It was very powerful, doing 30+ on each hit. However, I soon was running very very low on fluids, and monofluids didn't seem to show up as often just to spite me.

The cane does next to no damage at all, so it sucks to use it. Thanksfully FOmarls can use some weapons, but their ATA and ATP is very low. I can only use the Handgun because I took a General/Arm from my HUmar so I could equip it. I still can't even equip a saber!

So I've been using the handgun as much as possible. But it's really because I'm so low on fluids. If I had Ryuker (anyone got a spare?) and enough slots so I could use it, I'd be in much better shape. That way I could pipe back as I'm getting low, and see the nurse. Tedius, yes. But it saves on my fluids.

That brings me to my next point. I want to raise a mag with good mind, something that fluids tend to raise. But I can't do that, because then I won't have any for myself. I don't have more than 2 as it is. I find myself stocking up on every item I can grab to sell it and buy fluids. This is a pain.

Anyone have any tips on what to do as a low-level Force? I can make it through Forest pretty easily. I haven't bothered fighting the Dragon yet. But I'm not struggling too much, assuming I have fluids to keep myself going. Problem is those damn fluids.

The tip that works for any character that I learned from Nemesis (comes here, you may know him) is that hit every enemy once and have a higher level character kill them. You gain the same amount of experience as you would killing it yourself, and you don't risk death. You say the forces are only better at higher levels, then this technique is for you.

I have a little force that I use and now I'm at lvl 20.

I was playing offline. I could play online in a n00b room, but I generally play my HUmar online.

Well, get hold of a spinner if you can and equip it on the force. Then go into a normal to hard level room, and hit everything before the big guys kill it. It might be a bit rude, but it is DAMN effective.
