I was rocking the Amarr LP one. For obvious reasons that doesn't work out so well.
It is a hilariously fun suit to use, though xD
Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.
Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!

Don't worry Lorhak these Jarhead wannabes don't understand the stark beauty of our treads, and the wonderful hum of engines.
They need to get on our level.

I have LvL 3 I don't know how it is for other commando players but last night while I was testing the AK.0 and A/1 I found that its barely like you have any shields at all, the benefits of shield are not present on the current commando thus all they really have seems to be a rather average armour value and a single enhanced repper......

Now fitting my ak.0 with an enhanced shield energizer, gets the recharge rate slightly above 15 per second, which is what the new Commandos in 1.8 will start out with. Feels much better.
Also with the crazy reload speed I've started firing all my weapons before I even see the enemy. If I know the enemy is around the corner, I start firing as I move out and aim completely from the hip, quickly reload, and continue. I've been having great success with the Commando ak.0 today, very happy with my investment.

Sighted Aero going Commando last night, unfortunately for me the first sighting involved a shot to my face Sorry Aero it was my cheap fit so no huge bounty payout, but hey it will make one suit a bit cheaper. Second match I saw you in we were both blue \o/ That was a far better match

Because I remember getting assaulted by a **** ton of scouts with nova knives and being scared out of my mind because I was the only one really defending the letter.
Last night I grinded 400k SP so played a lot of matches

Last night I grinded 400k SP so played a lot of matches Manus was the first one, when we were on the same team I think it was the Gal facility. And don't feel bad, Commando's are easier to spot than scouts Less Commando's out there so you stand out and I have a strange propensity for noticing people.
Nice sp grind I only managed just under 200k

I've noticed this too. It feels like 400 shield disappears faster than the 220ish my other suits

Standard commando logging in here. Going to use this week to move up into advanced gear finally (armor reps, here I come). I'm finally starting to top the boards for WPs again since making this character. Besides my REs I play pure Amarr with the Scrambler Rifle and Laser Rifle, so for obvious reasons, I cannot WAIT for 1.8 to hit.
That said, when it comes to normal heavies and sentinels, I stand no chance whatsoever, even when i get the drop on them. My stomach drops at the very thought of what the matari heavies are going to be like for me =_= |

Yeah, the shields are nice once. Otherwise? No regen and you might as well run a Frontline suit.

So I'm having a hard time again figuring out which equipment is best for Commando. At first I thought it was triage hives for that rep rate, but they take up so much fitting space. Then I thought scanners, but I can see just fine. Then normal hives to spray a ton of bullets, but found I wasn't dropping them most the time. Then tried remotes, rep tools, injectors, everything.
Right now I thinking perhaps stick with the good old reliable compact nanohive. Cheap ISK, cheap fitting, get me out of emergencies, nothing more.

Compact or scanner my friend, I use compact for more long ranged suits (I'll have time to plop one down if I need to) and scanner for frontline suits.....I'd rather know where the enemy is and adjust my plan accordingly than simply guessing

I would have to agree...compact or scanner, although I would lean toward scanner because basics are getting a low slot that can be used on an armor repair

And even with an armor rep in a low slot, the compact would still be good for getting those instant boosts of armor when in trouble.
That's what I'm leaning towards right now, going to give it a few more tries on my advanced an proto commando and see how things go.

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. |

Minmatar and Caldari Commandos sure will have a role
Min Com best AV
Cal Com best sniper (may actual make sniping relevant due to being able to switch to a RR)

If CCP do intend to change the way damage profficieny skills and damage mods work in a fundamental way (they have said as much) then the commando racial damage bonus might prove to be very strong indeed at maximum skill level. We shall have to see. I think the key thing to remember about the suit is that it can fulfill almost any combat focused role with the right weapon load out. The Minnie suit in particular might just make swarm launcher based AV viable once more now that we've got a fairly solid confirmation that the bonus works on them. Two light weapons have always allowed you to have an unprecedented ability to dictate the terms of the engagement or, on the flip side, to have the right gun for that moment when you're caught flat-footed. My current load out of CR/RR/uplinks on a standard suit just works so damn well. Lots of other good fits out there,though.
It is, at the very least, a fun suit to create.

So I'm finding nanite injectors work the best on my commando for two reasons. One, it encourages me to stay within groups instead of lone wolfing everything. Two, with two light weapons I am able to clear enemies off of wounded friendlies so I can revive them in a safe situation.

And be able to perform the role of anti infantry/anti vehicle suit. 10% damage to light weapons (of course, if you're using the right ones) doesn't sound very gimmicky. Can't wait to have a real edge over all the other suits.

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... |

Scout report on commandos Last night ran into a a group of Heavies, mix of Commando and Sentinels. The match was a little lopsidedGǪ as I only had one other team member (who I only saw once, not that they were doing nothing we both hit over 800wp)
But what was interesting was the sight of the Sentinel being Guardian Repped by a Commando. would have been interesting to see how effective it was, but I was running alpha damage so it was not something i could really analyze for effectiveness. It was kind of a cool sight, and I can see some potential there. If the Sentinel at the end of the leash goes down, you still have a solid fighting force in the Commando. Also the ability to switch between reaping and death dealing at a situational level is pretty flexible.
