So I went proto commando cause I thought "YOLO why not?"

Well here's why not:

The PROTO commando Has the same # of slots as a MLT heavy (the equipment slot on commando replaces the nade slot on the heavy)

It is an amarr suit, yet has more high slots than low (seriously why?) fix: give it 1 more low slot across all tiers.

It needs a slight pg/CPU buff at the proto level (not a lot, maybe like 5 pg and 15 CPU)

And for the love of all that is good!!!!! Give it at least a 15hp/sec shield recharge rate, my proto commando takes 40 seconds to go from 0 shields to full (403 shields)

Ccp please fix the commando, there is a reason why there is literally only 7 proto commandos in existence.

EDIT: I just realized the PROTO commando has the exact same # of slots as a MLT heavy

EDIT#2: this sums up nicely what is happening (excerpt from post #52)

It's not meant to fill two battlefield roles at once, it's meant for area defense...

I've gone through this a thousand times, so I won't tell ALL the tales of my Commando-Stomping ways, but basically... I held off a rather small position, by myself, using a GEK, K5, and Compact Nanohive. If someone had gotten close enough to me while I wasn't paying attention, I would've died immediately (There was no way out of the box I was in). Instead, I had a Sica, and about 5 different medium suits trying to charge my position so they could stop being annoyed with me. I killed them all (Even if they spawned back in), and my teammates eventually pushed them out of the city.

Later in the match, in a defensive firefight, I was killed by a sniper. That was my only death. I went 17/1.

The next match, I stood on top of a small perch (Building at B on Manus Peak, super short building), and killed anything that came near the objective. Using same equipment. Shotty tried to come up and kill me, Shotgunned in the face. Anything else got an AR. Even stole a kill from a squadmate who proceeded to say "That's it, I'm petitioning CCP to get you a nerf". For the entire 3+ matches where I killed everything/everyone, he was saying "Stop killing things, you're going to trick people into thinking it's good, and then they'll quit the game because they were lied to, you need a nerf".

So yea. Also, IN THE DESC. it says it's made for area defense. Don't try to kill people, try to get them to back off. However, if you can kill them, good on you.

Also, reason for a couple Commando stats is just for logic's sake (Although I'm not saying I like it).

Basically, all of the suits electronic power was shifted into the arms of the dropsuit, to allow it to carry more weapons. This is why:
-It has low HP, there's less power directed to the shield generators/rechargers/etc.
-High melee damage. If you have carry 2 Light Weapons, you can probably hit like a truck.
-Low CPU/PG. Because the Amarr are morons (No offense), they redirected the Core power to the arms, just to make it stronger. It backfired on them.

Agreed, ccp could have done a better way of implementing the commando role, however I doubt they will change the commandos "frame size" were a simple buff would do.
