And just to give some people more ideas, here are my two most used commando fits.

Commando A/1 Series
Scrambler Rifle
CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle
Wirykomi Triage Hive
Basic Shield Energizer
Basic Armor Plate

This is my frontline Commando suit. No need for armor reps when you are carrying the 70 hp/s Wirykomis with you, and also great for supporting fellow Commandos in the squad. Shield energizer helps get my shields up to as high as possible in the limited downtime between engagements on the frontlines. The combination of weapons allows me to effectively cover medium and short range engagements very flexibly with either choice.

Commando A/1 Series
CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle
ELM-7 Laser Rifle
Quantum Active Scanner
Basic Light Damage Amplifier
Enhanced Armor Repairer

This is my perimeter patrol Commando, working the outer objectives. Obviously any patrol job is only made better by the use of active scanners, so there's that. I don't get as much armor as I am not subject to as much enemy firepower, and in exchange I get to carry a passive armor repairer. Also since I usually have more time between engagements I opt out of the energizer in favor of a damage mod. The combination of weapons gives me a wider range to effectively assault my targets, from medium-far to up close and personal. This comes with the trade off of less flexibility, as each weapon as a very specific role in the fit.

Fire of Prometheus DUST University Ivy League 2758	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:12:00 - [1] - Quote First off, I have posted this in the D-Uni forums for our members, but due to general interest, I'm going to open up this program to the rest of the community. I haven't said anything to my superiors in the Uni so if I'm all of a sudden booted.....is is probably why NOTICE: SAVE THE COMMANDO!!!! So I've been thinking about this idea for awhile now and think its time to present it to the rest of the Uni. So my idea: The ARC program. What does ARC mean? -Advanced Recon Commando.....kinda catchy right? Why would I want to join this? -Because you have the commando suit and want to become one of the best commandos in the game! What is the purpose of this "program"? -It's designed to show players how to effectively utilize the commando suit. Right now, the suit is rather gimped when in use rolling solo. But in a squad, it can be the difference between taking an objective, or losing one. It will help players utilize the suit to its max effectiveness in both squad ops and solo ops. What do I need to join? -all you need is at least the basic commando frame and be willing to learn/use the commando suit. Who should I contact if I want to help out or join? -well right now it's just me but I have a few players in mind who are (IMO) slightly better at using the commando than me and as such would be great teachers on this class. When will this program be? -that's the best part, it'll be whenever you want it to be! I was thinking of setting up weekly 102 classes (we squad and go into a match) aswell as the occasional 101 class/lecture. If the number of people interested suits this than I was thinking about trying to get a full squad of commandos going whenever enough people are on. I will post more information in the following days as I sort all the logistical issues out.

Fire of Prometheus DUST University Ivy League 2758	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:13:00 - [2] - Quote Q & A notes: Did a basic overview of the commando suit. -A variation of the heavy suit. -carries 2 light weapons (ie an assault rifle and a sniper), 1 equipment slot at basic level. -can be a force to reckon with, however it cannot take an assault suit in a 1v1 situation. -slow moving, large hitbox. Went over some BASIC fittings & tips for fittings. -use weapons that complement each other. (Make 1 weapon do +Dmg to shields and then the other weapon do +Dmg to armour. Ie scrambler rifle and mass driver) -use weapons that can counteract each other. (1 long range weapon and 1 short/mid range weapon. Ie assault rifle and sniper) -I personally recommend using a "compact nanohive" as this can heal you and resupply you with ammo. -sniper & swarm launcher is a good combo for long range suppression of vehicles and infantry. Tactics for squad ops: -bring up the rear of the squad. -lay down suppressive fire/cover fire for squad mates. -thin out the ranks of incoming enemies. -if you have a swarm launcher, you should be the one destroying enemy vehicles. Tactics for solo ops: -keep your distance from the frontlines -if you do decides to move in, avoid CQC situations and stick to places with lots of cover (hills work fine on open plains) -stick with the majority of your team (unless you are being pub stomped.......in wich case, do as you wish without losing to much isk :p) I will edit this post as more/new tactics reveal themselves Proud member of the Commando 6 <3 Commando AK.0
Fire of Prometheus DUST University Ivy League 2758	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:14:00 - [3] - Quote I thought I would do something fun with this post and create: "Fire's commando Fit of the week" These fits will simply be ideas for you to try when using the commando suit. You can swap the weapons on them or completely change the fit :) Feel free to post your favourite commando fit and I'll add it into this post. So without further ado, my first fit of the week: Commando A-1 GEK-38 Assault rifle NT-511 sniper rifle Compact nanohive Next fit: Commando A-1 CRD-9 Assault Scrambelr Rifle Basic Mass Driver Compact Nanohive New fit :D "Hunter" Commando A-1 Toxin AR (or any other AR) Shotgun Scanner Tips: when using this suit, it's most effective to flank the enemy and then take them out. I recommend practicing using a scout suit with a shotgun to familiarize yourself with how to effectively flank and shotgun your enemy. Fits from T'orq: Commando A-1 Gek-38 Assault Rifle Exo-5 Mass Driver K-2 Nanohive Or If you want to run cheap: Commando A-1 Scrambler Rifle/Assault Rifle Mass driver Nanohive More from T'orq :p Commando A/1 Rail Rifle Mass Driver/Assault Rifle/Scrambler Rifle Remote Explosive "Orion" Commando AK.0 Kaalakiota Rail Rifle Duvolle assault rifle Basic (or flux) active scanner (basic is all you really need :p) Enhanced light damage mod. Enhanced shield extender Enhanced armour repair Commando A-1 Scrambler rifle Assault Rail rifle Compact nanohive (or scanner) NOTE: I haven't tried this fit yet but I have a feeling it's pretty effective :p) Another from Thanjac :) Commando A/1 Scrambler Rifle Combat Rifle K-2 Nanohive Enjoy :) Proud member of the Commando 6 <3 Commando AK.0
Fire of Prometheus DUST University Ivy League 2758	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:15:00 - [4] - Quote Alright this is the "events" post. To promote awareness, imma start an event night that will run every Saturday around 0:00-1:00 eve time. Here's how it'll work. We will have a "commando night" were everyone uses commando suits, everyone will squad up and go and play 1 domination. player with the highest WP/death ratio will win an isk award. Entrance is 50k isk per player and you must be a part of the channel "ARC Program D-Uni" in order to enter. All entrances will be sent to my alt "Sir Arthur Moneybags" and held until a winner is determined. If we have 6+ players, the winner from each squad will move on to a secondary match were they will be in a squad with all the winners from the other squads and they will play another domination and the player with highest kills will win all the isk that was sent to my alt. First event is Saturday (6 days from now), hope to see you all there!!! EDIT: to clarify things, there is no equipment restrictions (any proto gear can be used.....seeing as the average life span of a commando is literally 15 seconds, it would be a waste of isk to run proto more than once) Proud member of the Commando 6 <3 Commando AK.0

Wurm FOOD The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 18	Posted - 2014.01.11 00:21:00 - [6] - Quote One of my favourite solo fits is: Commando A-1 Scrambler rifle/rifle of your choice Shotgun Compact Nanohive This fit is decent for CQC and medium ranged combat (depending on the rifle you fit) and is relatively self-sufficient. Alternatively, you could fit a sniper rifle instead of the shotgun if you prefer medium/long ranged combat. If you are running in a squad with other commando's then you may want to organise your equipment around each other so you have a larger variety of options. In regards to skill allocation, core skills are very important to a dedicated commando. The armour and shield upgrades help with survival and electronics/engineering let you fit better gear if you get higher tier suits. Member of the Commando 6 All hail the Commando ak.0
