I keep on missing you guys. ULTIMATE SAD FACE.
srsly, I run early morning UK time until my days off, then I might be able to catch you. Until then, let me give you all some insight into my experiences as a commando.
The most important point is that it's flexibility is both the best and worst thing about it. On the one hand, you are a true wild card of a suit. I run everything from laser rifles and shotguns to plasma cannons and combat rifle combos, and in that respect a commando is King of choosing his engagement type, if not his engagement range. On the flip side, the sheer amount of sp required to make the suit even remotely viable (let's urr stay away from the word "competitive" for a bit hehe) is astronomical; I'm at 5.5mil, and I can use the commando and nothing else. I have one weapon maxed to 5, everything else is all over the place. A lack of focus on my part, to be sure, but it's an easy pitfall with this suit, because it molds itself around your play style more than any other. I've tried a little bit of everything and found that most of it can work. But the core skills you need to get that suit up and running are crazy. Shields, armour, engineering; get it all to four at the bare minimum. You'll need it.
As mentioned in an earlier post, find your favourite play style and wrap the suit around it with your weapon choices. My gun game is average at best, but I have a head for trajectories and timing and primal need to make **** explode quite spectacularly, so I run a PLC and combat rifle on a cheap standard suit. Most importantly though are the uplinks; I can fit an advanced one on a standard frame and use them with intent. They are weapon in of themselves, and my commando takes on the role of shaping an assault by flanking with uplinks and harassing vehicles away from my blueberries. I'm not afraid to go CQC but I always aim to have the drop on my enemy when I do. Play a commando? Use your brain, it's a hell of a module.
I'd post more but I need to test something first in game :)
Dedicated Commando.
So it's a good job KDR doesn't bother me, really.
