You can buy more slots with platinum, and debatably it's not that expensive. Platinum is obtained via real-money or from trading with other players; people will often give you plat for prime parts and specific mods.

Ah yes, I know, but I do not really feel like spending any more real money on Warframe after buying Valkyr.
I did not know people pay platinum for mods and stuff, though. I am used to people being very careful with spending real-money-currencies in F2P games. What kind of mods do people buy? Primed mods? T4 mods?
I don't know if I have anything that's valuable or not, which I suppose in itself indicates I probably don't (otherwise I'd likely know).

It depends. Maxed out rank 10 mods normally go for a decent bit. New mods, or limited/exclusive mods are worth something, and then there's primed chamber, the mod worth 4k+ plat. New mods are obviously worth a decent bit too. Prime parts (i.e. BPs, receivers, barrels, blades, etc) generally go for something, even if it's not very much.

Oh, and when should I start going Void? It's like the endgame, right? I have a fair few keys for T1, T2, T3 and T4 alike, but I have not used any of them as it would be pretty embarassing to go there and be oneshotted.

Void is no more endgame than pluto is. T4 is harder than the rest, obviously, but it's still not that bad once you get well modded weapons.

If you're selling prime parts, sets go for more than individual parts.
As for T4, it can mean 2 things. Tower 4, or tier 4. Tower 4 is a specific thing. Tier 4 is any mission with level 35+ enemies. Tier 4 is the endgame content.
I - Enemy level 10-20 II - Enemy level 20-30 III - Enemy levels 30-40 IV - Enemy levels 30-40, 300% enemy damage boost, with chance to spawn Corrupted Vor.
So compare that to the level ranges of the missions you've been doing to see if you can handle them.
You can generally speaking do tier one void missions fairly early on. Tower 1 / Tower 2 Captures are basically what I use to farm for credits if I need a quick boost to them, as they give 10k-19k each, and you can go through them very quickly, especially with the right frames. Naturally, for defense missions (and probably survival missions) I recommend having a full team at all times, and for tier 4, a somewhat min-maxed team is probably preferable depending on player skill (skilled players can get away with more than unskilled ones).

soma > boltor if nothing has changed between the two. Some however is a higher MR requirement if that matters, and also NEEDS crit chance + damage, so generally it takes more levels to become useful

Boltor is an overall solid weapon. The Boltor Prime is an overall amazing weapon. This is primarily due to their innate high base damage and decent damage type.
However, in a coordinated group running 4x Corrosive Projection, the Soma wins out. Modded correctly for critical hits, the Soma's slash obliterates just about everything in the Void.
This is also one of the reasons people tend to prefer the Dread over the Paris Prime. They're both great weapons, but when modded and built around, the Dread outperforms the Paris Prime.

Regardless, the Boltor and Soma are both great weapons and will carry you through much of the game. Nab the Boltor Prime when you can and you'll rarely look back.

Comparing the two is like comparing the brakk and vaylok. Brakk and boltor have way higher burst dps, but the soma and vaylok are better ranged weapons.
The soma has lower burst and sustained dps but is a crit weapon, which balances it out. The boltor is a high dps close range killer. It's opinion at the end of the day.

Does it? Pretty sure with crit mods soma beats boltor hands down (not talking about primes)

The standard Boltor build does 38k burst and 20k sustained.
The standard soma build does 26k burst and 18k sustained.
They're both used for different things. Boltors murder grineer better than somas, and somas murder infested better than boltors.
A boltor has flight speed, a soma is hitscan.
At the end of the day, they're both ass good as each other. If you prefer sheer numbers, go for the boltor.
Something you might also consider is the Tiberon, which has better burst damage than the boltor prime and almost as good sustain.
If you like burstfire weapons, that's the best one in warframe.

That's assuming you actually hit anything with the boltor, though. You'l waste fewer shots with tiberon even given its burst nature.

Hm, thought the soma did more, but I haven't paid much attention to the various nerfs and buffs of most weapons (love the grinlok/latron P)

Burst weapons tend to fall off much quicker though. You'll rarely see a burst rifle last as long as a boltorP/somaP in a T4. Because damage coupled with utility is better than sheer damage.
Actually, I rarely see any of the three in T4 regardless. Most people just don't have them.

I've made over 1000p without spending a penny. Farm loki prime systems, they're worth 50p. I sold my ash sets for 150p each, when I had 3. I sold my boar prime for 100p when it got taken out of rotation. It all adds up.
I suppose. I've never been big on trading, but I do have a lot of prime parts stocked up... even after getting Prisma Tetra.

Lack of shields? Why do I care? I'm Valkyr. I thrive under lack of shields.
Also, more valkyr players need to learn to use warcry and paralyze.

WRONG! Paralysis stuns enemies regardless of if you have shields, it just doesn't do direct damage if you don't have shields. I noticed NUMEROUS times that I was doing stealth damage and stealth attacks to stunned enemies after using the shout. It is not as powerful of a stun as radial blind but it is more than enough to make a noticable difference if used occasionally, and with efficiency mods, it's incredibly cheap to use.
