I also suppose I feel squishy because I run strictly Minmatar Commando...coming from brick-tanked Gallente suits it feels a little rough.

You do need to keep into mind the racial bonuses and limitations. I run Minmando, and while the basic is squishy at around 600 hp, you get bonuses to the CR, MD, and other projectile/explosive weapons. It's being debated whether the Swarms also apply under the bonus. You also get better speed, and stamina regen is a beast.

I run this strictly, and I'm having absolute fun flanking (the Minmatar-version suit's purpose). Keep into mind that you won't win a stand-up fight with Amarr or Gallente Commandos, which I've made the mistake of doing. Flank and get the drop on them.

BTW, can I be added to the list? I have CR to 5 and MD to 3; Minmatar Commando to 1.

Yeah it's just a very different playstyle from the head-on assault style I used to run with my brick-tanked Gallente suits.

As I get more and more used to it I'm coming into my own. I have both the MD and CR to prof 1, and Minmatar Commando to 3...just wait till you level up your suits and weapons some more, the damage bonus is spectacular.

I just have to remember that I'm a flanker now, not a head-on kind of guy.

There was no path to flank him; the outcroppings ensured he wouldn't be flanked. Many lives were lost that day...the one time I got behind him his driver ripped me to shreds.
