I agree that it's well thought out and presented. I do have some serious concerns over just flat increases to commando base HP though as I feel it might push the suit into being too cost efficient for its slot numbers, instead I'd give more slots (probably matching the sentinel slot totals).

I would like to see some serious tweaking to commando shield delays and recharge values as with their low slot totals, low recharge and high delays there's next to *nothing* that can be done to modify the suit other than "fit more hp/dmg". If complex armor repairers weren't consistently one of the (if not the) best module(s) in the game, a lot more people would likely be quite vocal about how upsetting their low slot totals and poor base stats are. In essence commando's are largely pidgeon-holed into fitting AS MUCH DAMAGE as possible & complex armor reps, this is fairly universal across commando suits.

I'd like to point out that in the last patch commando's actually got something of an ewar nerf and this is problematic - essentially commandos can *only* scan sentinels and can be scanned by everything else when previously they had a chance to pick up assaults on passive scans.

Also, min needs to lose that swarm 'bonus', god I hate that thing.

In summary - Increasing hp won't fix the issues with shield recharge and recovery, I'd favor more slots in addition to much needed shield tweaks. Commando's didn't deserve the ewar nerf they got handed and it should be undone. Minmando 'swarm bonus' is still pushing it into undeserved popularity as an 'av suit' where people get into high places and cannot be dislodged, part of problem with swarm launcher, part of problem with suit.

Pokey, didn't we, and by that I mean you, roll up some spreadsheets the last time this kind of thread came about? Might be worth dredging up and seeing if anything still looks palatable to the player base.

Just as a clarification, my proposals above are exclusive, I was not suggesting implementing both.
