Even with how bad scouts are, the commando would still be better as a light frame. They got it right the first time with the Black Eagle. Scouts are useless.

I personally think the Commando Dropsuit should be like the Assault Dropsuit, except with a focus on durability rather than mobility, and giving up the Grenade for a second Light Weapon.

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. It's not the frame size I want the Commando Dropsuit to borrow from the Assault Dropsuit, it's everything else, and everything that isn't the same would be counterbalanced. Basically, the Assault and Commando would have an equal number of strengths against the other.
Mobility versus Durability Grenade versus Second Light Weapon
That would be a decent balance, but CCP had to gimp the Commando by giving it the lowest slot count of any dropsuit.
So, yeah... I'm not really sure why they did that. The loss of a grenade is bad enough, right?

Would you rather have a Light AV Weapon, or AV Grenades and a Sidearm of your choice?
If I had a Sniper Rifle, I'd probably go with the latter, but with an Assault Rifle I'd probably choose the former.

Yes, buff is needed. Also, I'm tired of all these people talking about making Commando into a Light Dropsuit. It makes more sense on a Heavy Frame.
For one, a running theme with Heavy Dropsuits is their excessive weapons capability. Most get a Heavy Weapon, but the Commando gets two Light Weapons, which is fair enough.
For two, Light Dropsuits don't really need the versatility that two Light Weapons provide. They're designed to be fast so they can choose which situations they get into. For example, a Light Dropsuit with a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle can easily get into the range they want, but a Heavy Dropsuit with the same weapons wouldn't be so lucky. Yes, Light Dropsuits do need a buff, but that's besides the point.
For three, I kind of like the way Commandos work now. I tried the Black Eagles Dropsuit and I didn't enjoy it. Let's face it, Light Dropsuits aren't really meant for combat, so giving them two Light Weapons doesn't help all that much.

There's almost no difference in effectiveness for me between the Advanced Commando and Proto Commando.

But I must disagree with you. Also I must inform you that you are wrong.
Not all dropsuits have the same number of slots, sadly, which they should.

Amarr, in general, have better Armor HP and more low slots.
Also, it's not uncommon to see Gallente ships using shield tanks.

(Note that I'm a super-noob in EVE. Not even past all the Advanced Tutorials, so Core Skills are at nothing. I got the Algos almost specifically for the drone capacity and guns.)
So yup. Null tank, 6+ drones, however many blasters, I think I'm good, considering that I'm not getting out of the carebear stuff for a while. What's your character name? :o
