I have just opened a program that I've been running for the Uni to the public.
The A.R.C. program
Quick over view: a program that anyone who is interested in Commandos can join, I will be running squads regularly, and will have some teachers to help answer any questions :)
That is the thread in the rookie training grounds and I will be more than happy to answer any questions either in this thread or the thread above :)
Hope to see you there :)

Do you have sentinels?
If so, it's only 50k sp to go basic commando, so you can at least give it a shot

Post this again when 1.8 (or whatever it will be called at Fanfest) drops. If my unallocated skill points goes into eight digits speccing into Commandos might be worth a try.
Glad to see Dust Uni is still active in Dust. This place needs that kind of organization.

Agreed, I haven't seen many active D-Uni members on the forums, but I decided to expand my little project to the general public (gauging by the support/interest in my numerous commando threads)

Well Im not really interested in playing as an Amarr heavy in general, the low speed really bugs me
Now a Cal or Minnie commando I could get behind

Meh, I don't mind the speed, it is a heavy after all, besides, with the commando, your dual weapons more than make up for the lack of speed

Same here. If one is going to be slow they might as well go Sentinel. Besides both of those Races have good Light Weapon options so a CR & MD or RR & SR are very appealing. Too bad the SP investment from a cold-start are so astronomical.

True, and quite honestly, I don't recommend going commando until you have at least specced into basic gear for at least 2 other roles (assault and scout for example)

Sage advice indeed. Anything non-Medium Frame goes through so many ups and downs. Whereas a proper rifle and slayer suit has always had a place in Dust.

Speaking of the Basic Commando, what is the cost efficiency and tactical usefulness of that suit verses the Advanced Commando? I never bothered going for anything above the basic Dren Sentinel because the returns on SP & ISK invested are terrible.

Ummm, I've managed to pretty well with a basic commando, basically (haha no pun intended) fit the basic ommando with basic weapons and equipment, the suit will cost roughly 11-13 k isk.....it takes some getting used to and definitely requires some adjustment of tactics.

My brother's account is a heavy with an ADV commando, and he sometimes lets me use his account.
Can I join the A.R.C.?

Alright, I'll tell him about it.
Now if only he could be bothered to use the forums for once instead of relying on me to get all of his info...

Standard commando is a throw away suit; fit it cheap and don't expect to survive multiple engagements. It gets much better as your core skills increase, however.
The advanced is nice. Rep and recharger modules allow the suit to function like any other; hit, fade and recover as you would with an assault. Still a bit pricey for my (admittedly cheap) tastes.
The proto is a joke. Three times the cost of the advanced for a measly extra slot, and it's a high to boot...on an Amarr frame? What? Crazy. Its only saving grace is that you can buy them dirt cheap from the Amarr loyalty store, and that they look pretty pimp. But that's it.
Dedicated Commando.
So it's a good job KDR doesn't bother me, really.

Haha true, but with the proto commando, you can dual wield proto weapons :D
On a side note, are you open to helping out as a mentor/teacher of the program?

Definitely interested, of course. I still want to get a Commando Registry going similar to the Scout Registry, show them who's really got it bad. But then I realized there's probably only around 10 people in the entire community who actively use the Commando suit.
A couple things regarding to some comments,
1) Contrary to popular belief, you can get some great use from a standard commando fit.
2) I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment if they think the other racial commandos are going to be really fast. They're be faster, but not by much. Probably still get passed up by logis in a foot race.

Can do, Fire, can do. I think the suit itself is pretty straightforward to run in game with. The learning, so to speak, is in co-ordinating fits within a commando squad. With that many light weapon options I honestly think you can pull off something pretty spectacular with a tightly run squad. Still want to take a swarm commando squad into Ambush and alpha strike six tanks off the map ;)

Indeed, that was one of the motifs for going public with this program....amongst other things :p
Would you be interested In mentoring/teaching?
