Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 141	Posted - 2013.07.05 09:03:00 - [1] - Quote Since Uprising 1.2 I enjoyed reading how once again CCP is able to come up with what sounds like another useless suit. Honestly I didn't need the forums to figure that out, just reading on the dev blog that they would sacrifice module slots while at the same time giving them a bonus towards modules all but assured me CCP had no clue what they were doing. Still, I started using the 3x week to skill into them and finally played a few rounds in it. I'm running the standard Commando suit with a laser rifle and assault scrambler rifle. First I was shocked how with this I wasn't able to fit pretty much any equipment piece. Still I roled with it, equipped basic nanoinjectors since I had no other choice there. Once in combat it seemed kind of silly, I could go with my medium frame assault suit and get more eHP, more movement speed, more CPU/PG to have a useful equipment and armor repairers, and a smaller hitbox. It seems like a ton of sacrificing for just one extra weapon. However for whatever reason I am drawn to it. The LR/ASR combo is pretty fun and works well (relatively, considering how poorly the suit is designed). Long range/mid range seems better than mid range/short range since the heavy can't strafe at all in close encounters. I'm planning on skilling up to the advanced version and just hope CCP fixes the bonuses/mod slots/cpu/pg/the entire suit. So onto the main part, I'm betting the suit can be somewhat useful with a squad of other commandos, perhaps a couple with repair tools (since we don't even get a mod slot for an armor repairer at standard) and one with a nanoinjector since CCP thought this suit was going to be so good that it's about double in price compared to other suits. If you're up for it, join the "Commando" chat channel.

I have a fit for that with a militia swarm launcher. I'm in a role playing corp and I'm a little hesitant to skill into other racial weapons when I know as soon as they add say the Amarr anti-vehicle light weapon I'll likely never touch swarms again (unless it turns out as bad as the Gallente Plasma Cannon). I am really enjoying the laser rifle and assault scrambler combo. I know a lot of people complain about the laser rifle post-Uprising but I haven't been effected by it, I kill with it just as well now as I did then. It's great now having the ability to shoot laser beams to my hearts content and still have a weapon available if things get a bit nasty.

Actually, i have 3 commando fits ; - GEK 38 / Swarm Launcher - GEK 38 / SCR rifle - Sniper Rifle / Swarm Launcher I thinking on adding few more roles : - Shotgun / MD - MD / Swarm Launcher But i need to spec into MD and Shotgun 1st.
Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 141	Posted - 2013.07.05 09:25:00 - [5] - Quote I haven't tried a shotgun fit yet, I like it with the Black Eagle suit but that's on a scout. I have a feeling shotgun/assault rifle wouldn't be so good on a large slow moving target. As far as a mass driver combo, I haven't tried them since the update but I've used flaylocks for awhile and seems to pretty much get the same job done, so you don't even need the commando suit for that. But this is just speculation, I haven't actually tried those fits.

That is the potential of the Commando suit...you can aim to became a Weapons Specialist, and have an answer for any tactical situation.

Then form a squad of these guys with the right mix of weapons and some repair tools and you could have a very deadly squad.

It will be interesting to see... i'll join you later in the "Commando" channel.

It would make some of the slower reloading weapons pretty good. I know I already bashed on this Plasma Cannon in this thread, but if you give it the -25% reload time along with the -15% from the actual skill, and it's 3.5 second reload turns into around 1.9 seconds, which is pretty big especially considering you have to reload after each shot. May turn it into a worthwhile weapon.
