Why the **** can people with 1bil speed still hit me? Am I missing something here?

Your dex is only 2.1b, so why would someone with 1b speed not be able to hit you? You would need a huge amount more dex over their speed for you to be completely unhittable. The difference in stats also makes less of a difference the higher those numbers go. You could also have been hit with a dex reducing temp. 

Kayla's answer does a great job of explaining why, but in case you want to know the actual values that would make you particularly hard to hit at that level here is a guide that explains hit chance based on the ratio between your Dexterity and your opponents Speed:

Try looking at the table at the very top.

Your defence sucks..

lol yeah those pesky noobs with only 1 bil speed amirite

Exactly ^

May want to rehab as well.  

So basically dex is pointless? 

It’s not pointless. But you can’t just have ‘more’ of it than their speed. You need to have a great deal more to cut down their hit chance. Same with defense. Just having more than someone’s strength won’t mitigate all their damage.

How do you have 5b stats and dont know this lol

You defense needs to be about 10-12 x the strength of your opponent for the damage to be mitigated.

Similarly, if your dex and my speed are equal I'll have about 50% chance of hitting you. Ever seen the graph with a decreasing gradient but the slope never becomes flat?

You can never achieve a 100% miss rate. It can climb as high as 99.9Xx %

Dex is still sex. But always get some def to back it up. Stat boosters and temps help too.

You have no merits in stats life or I guess weapon mastery?

 

Literally these 3 things mean your attacking ability is like 60%. 

So people with 40% less stats than you should beat you most of the time  

Almost half your stats And I can win. Balance it out, lacking defence hurts

Any recommendations on what to do? :O  Other than balancing out stats?

Dex rocks!  lol

1.rehab

2. get best gear you can get

3. get best weapons you can get

4.get the best mods you can get

5. missions, missions and more missions

6. get at least a billion in defense will help alot

7. better ammo is always nice to have handy, (mission credits or stock bonus)

 

What are the things that I can currently do in terms of buying them? So what can I buy in terms of best weapons/gear? Mods = missions right?

Also thanks for the tips guys! Everyone who posted here with helpful tips should have gotten a little gift from me. :)

The best armor right this minute is Combat Gear for Pants, Gloves, and Boots, either Flexible Body Armor (higher defense rating) or Full Body Armor (better coverage), and either Welding Helmets (which block most Temporary Weapons aside from smoke-based ones) or Combat Helmets (which have the best defense). From what I have seen/read, most people strongly prefer Welding Helmets as the elimination of many types of Temps greatly helps in fights. As for the chest piece, most people I know prefer Full Body Armor for the coverage, but the market seems to disagree.

Weapons are a bit harder, as the best guns depend at least partially dependent on what mods you have available for them (which are purchased with Mission Credits, yes). In general though, Armalite is considered a good high-tier gear (Gold AK-47 is very good, but they're also 20b+). For melee weapons many people seem to prefer Diamond Bladed Knives, at least until you can afford the likes of Dual Samurai Swords. I'm not sure how much money you have to work with, so if it's not effectively infinite a Diamond Bladed Knife and a Motorcycle Helmet are fairly good alternatives to Dual Samurai Swords and a Welding Helmet.
