What equipment would be best for a Commando?
Ammo hives would naturally be good to supply the CR and swarms with ammo (cover up their weaknesses of bursting out so many rounds/few carried rounds).
What about REs? Would you gimp your ammo pool then?

Because the Commando works in a sort of area-of-denial/perimeter patrol style, I tend to stick with the active scanner. I used to run it with a Wirkykomi triage hive which made the suit very good at defense, but it was getting very costly.

If you are planning on running swarm launchers, a nanohive is practically a requirement.

CR eats ammo like a beast too... one should probably start out with hives then. :) Nanocircuitry is one of the most usefull equipment skills since you get reps, ammo supply and needles from it. X-3 Nanohive resupplies ammo very fast, for a lower fitting cost as well.

Caldari/Amarr commando could be nice as well. But Minmatar seems more like a swiss army knife to me (this is why I want to spec into commando).

Looks like a fat awesome terminator. How can anyone resist that?

Check out post #288 on page 15, what do you think about those proto fits I came up with for each race?

That Minmatar heavy definitely looks pretty cool, but the Gallente heavy probably looks the scariest.

Fastest speed, fast reload speed good for both CR and swarms, DMG bonus to both AV and Infantry weapon (CR is very very good mid/short range, where you will be most of the time). CR has low fitting costs, which is awesome (commando bit gimped on those stats TBH). What equipment would be best for a Commando? Ammo hives would naturally be good to supply the CR and swarms with ammo (cover up their weaknesses of bursting out so many rounds/few carried rounds). What about REs?

That Minmatar heavy definitely looks pretty cool, but the Gallente heavy probably looks the scariest. Good fits, mainly based around the scanner, but I like em! Kind of sad most fits can only use advanced weaponry. But with Proficiency 4, theres not a big diff between them in practice I guess. Imagine the minmatar commando with 2 kincats.. hahaha people would soil their pants seeing that beast run uber fast.

Shield 312 Armor 375 ..is a good balance between shield and armor. This fitting should be called RAMBO. It should cost something like 16M SP I think (Assuming only 1 equipment unlocked).
Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1063	Posted - 2014.01.21 10:50:00 - [5] - Quote Another cool role (not one I am interested in playing) is caldari commando with sniper and RR. Roughly: Range amplifier. Damage amplifier. Shield Recharger. Kinetic cat. whatever in last slot (regulator?) Nanohive. You will be a supressor from long range. Either by following behind your squad with RR or finding a sniper position and supporting from ultra range.

That's part of the fun of Commandos though, so many possibilities. I see the frame to be equivalent to the heavy assault in Planetside 2: http://planetside.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Assault Weapons:Light Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers, Specialized Weaponry, Shotguns, Submachine Guns Special Abilities: Shields, Anti-Vehicle Grenade, Concussion Grenade, C4 Its pretty much the "Light AV" role, but it can fill other roles too. Would love to spec MD, Swarms, CR on the Commando mk.0. MD is kind of situational, but if you also carry a CR you-¦re gonna be able to quickly adapt to the situation when entering city environments (for example) and spam the crap out of indoor objectives.

Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1093	Posted - 2014.01.26 09:07:00 - [9] - Quote I have been thinking some and this question came up: Will the commando just be a gimicky suit in 1.8 still, if you compare it to the other suits, eg scouts or assaults? I mean, a caldari assault with magsec SMG + swarm will probably be very versatile as well. And be able to perform the role of anti infantry/anti vehicle suit.
Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1094	Posted - 2014.01.26 15:33:00 - [10] - Quote They might not be gimicky, but they have been for some time. Its like the plasma cannon, it does not perform its role better than other weapons. If no respec is given I might go: Caldari Commando with RR and plasma cannon. - Plasma cannon jack of all trades (AV, room clearing, killing infantry) master of none. Only gotta spec into the commando suit in this case! If respec is given I might go: Minmatar Commando with CR, Swarms and possibly MD. :-) Still feels kind of gimped being in a heavy suit with only 700 EHP (no mods) when movement speed is so slow. But yeah... who knows what will happen to TTK at this stage...

I did gank some heavy with my ADV suit, and scouts are DEAD if they are stupid enough to come close to me (and I dont screw up). How many of you plate tank it, and how many of you speed tank it? Edit: Wow, breach shotty with the reload bonus and some points in shotty reload skills make it faster than the breach RoF (60 RPM). Does this mean you can shoot, reload, shoot, reload, shoot?! I have to test this. xD Alt#1 Scout gk.0 - ScR, CR, RR, PLC, SMG Alt#2 Madrugar - Ion Cannon Alt#3 Commando gk.0 - Shotgun, AR

Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 2226	Posted - 2014.04.14 06:23:00 - [23] - Quote I have been playing quite some galmando this weekend. Its a mediocre suit, definately not one of the worst in the game, neither one of the best. I think this is due to the AR not being on the same level as RR, CR and ScR. It still kills stuff, but a STD CR would do better than my ADV Breach AR. Shotgun is very situational, I think its not viable to use it as a main weapon on commandos. Too hard to close the distance when you are in a heavy frame. Given the right situation, it can be of great help. For example when you know someone is behind cover, there is a great opportunity to charge in and gank. Or when someone gets too close. Does anyone else feel that the 10% damage buff at commando 5 is a little bit lacking? Perhaps a 15% dmg bonus at level 5 would be in order? I mean, we do in fact trade HP and mobility for this bonus...

Assaults are the most versatile soldiers (should be predominant), logis and scouts are (or are suppose to be) supportive units. in this thoughts commando will be great with 15% damage at lvl 5 or one slot (high or low) more. Yes, its probably the "bump" that is needed to make commandos competitive.
