Things commando needs:
Minor Speed and stamina increase.
Additional slot per tier.
Grenades, since it's often used as an AV platform and grenades are crucial to this.
Minor buff to suit precision. It's ok for them to be seen, but they go toe to toe with assaults more often than not so why be blind to them?
Additional durability, regen not hp. Don't want to step on sentinel toes.
In terms of bonuses, commandos used to have one that buffed any defensive module fitted. It allowed them to have decent durability without increasing the slot count. Well, in theory, anyway. It was only 10% maxed out. 25% maxed might be more substantial. I'm aware that in the list above I've mentioned a slot increase, but I reckon just the one extra per tier shouldn't make them the unstoppable "heavy assaults" that were the initial concern when CCP first introduced them.
Thoughts? And could really do with CPM and CCP feedback on what direction, if any, they want to take this suit. I'm aware that they might have bigger concerns to resolve right now, but a general idea of what and when would be really appreciated. Thanks.

I appreciate your enthusiasm Shinobi, and thanks for the support and suggestions Pokey. I'll edit the OP with them as they're totally sound and make perfect sense.
I've tried to strike up a dialogue about commandos before and they do get some solid ideas from other forum users, but nothing ever really comes of it after that. Which is a shame, because they're a tremendously fun suit to play but I wouldn't dare take one into a PC battle. It'd be a waste of suit. And that's what we're really missing here: competitive viability. To use one is to handicap yourself against other players running other suit classes that have been properly thought out (assaults not withstanding). They need what I've listed to just push them into the realm of "that looks quite nasty, I want to wreck face with it".

Gallente get bonuses on reps and adaptive hp/rep speed.
Amarr get bonuses on standard plate hp and movement penalty reduction.
Caldari get bonuses on shield extenders and rechargers.
Minmatar get bonuses on regulators and ferroscale.
Ah man that would be sweet.

The bonuses suggested were what the suit originally had; an efficiency bonus to all defensive modules equiped, and it was largely worthless becAUSE it only maxed out at 10% and, back then, an ADV commando had a whopping two slots to play with. The theory behind it, however, was sound; low slot count compared to other suits in order to limit it's fitting flexibility but high module efficiency to make certain tank and regen modules quite potent. It's a way of keeping the commando alive in combat without turning it into a fat assault.
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Pokey, 4% seems to be the sweet spot for module bonuses to me. Thanks for working all of that out man.
