Instead of PG/CPU, there will be a commando skill, bonus to fitting light weapons

can we also change commando damage bonuses to affect only that race's weapons?
so i can stop seeing all these minmandos with swarms and see more calmandos with them.

Until I read your last sentence, I was agreeing. But I thought you meant based on the existing racial skills, i.e. Minmando has damage bonus to projectile / explosive weapons, which means they *should* use swarms.

Or have I misunderstood which weapons the Minmando's current bonuses apply to? Last I looked, Swarm launchers were either explosive or projectile damage.

well the swarm launcher is caldari tech. HOWEVER just like the nova knives the caldari do not the bonus but the Minmatar gets the bonus.
this is what he was saying- every commando should only get bonuses to their tech.
CCP saw what would happen if you did this though. a caldari commando with a rail rifle/sniper rifle on a roof then you try to fly up there in a dropship just to get hit by swarm. even better with a 10% bonus with 3 complex light damage mods for a total boost of 27% to damage and that means even with shields which gets a natural -20% to swarms, your going to get wrecked before you get close.

Right but I would disagree with that when you consider the existing bonus - they would be in conflict with each other. If the AV bonus is gonna change suits I'll want my money back lol...it's the only reason I have Minmando. Inb4 don't hold your breath and HTFU.
