LMAO! OT here a bit...but I actually tried doing some space stuff on live a while back (I DID beta JTL and reported bugs). I got lost and freaked out! I hit some hotkey and got lost in the yacht. Never left the controlls before that. So I ran around my OWN ship...lost! I was trying to click on control panels, enter elevators, and got stuck. Finally I found the cockpit...and spent a while trying to figure out how to regain control.
I finally had to swallow some pride and sent a few /tells...embarrassing! Especially when they said "Click on the Captians chair...duh!". 
Don't tell anyone ok?

Commando isn't one of the professions that... *ahem*... pwn... people. Not like meleers or Riflemen (the one ranged profession people fear).
The Commando posters here aren't the run of the mill combat oriented players. I'll categorize us:
- Too much loyalty to their first elite profession. I fall into this category. Kind of like your first [...EDIT].
- The title of Commando, especially to newbs (not n00b, according to the titled thread), is an appealing one. Hmm... I fall into this one also.
- Players who go against the grain of FOTM templates. Commando isn't flavor of the month anymore. If anything, it is a Jedi grinding profession if you want to try using something derogatory. When I fight (and get killed in my ST armor) other players, when people see the Master Commando title up, there's no basis for anyone to say I'm a FOTM or temploiter.
- Players who like to see stuff go boom or go up in flames & smoke. The Launcher Pistol, Flamethrower, and some of our consumeables have cool effects and animations. Though the animations can be a tactical hazard for us. As for the Flamethrowers... that's for the Pyro's in our ranks.
- Players who relish in pain & suffering. Admit it, as Commandos, alot of incaps & deaths come our way. But some probably like this stuff.
A minor bonus... Heavy Infantry and Shock Trooper are cool titles. Great for Imperials in factional armor.
"If they can be fooled, they can be killed."

just to throw this out there- after EASing from marine corps infantry, i became a pilot, and then a flight instructor.
in SWG, im an RSF master Pilot.
sure, commandos can rule space, i actually like being able to actually kill something for once.

I do too fly a plane
Well, actually its a TIE Advanced.
Soon I will have a TIE Commmunicator (the name has been changed from Opressor due to the Emperor's "Kindler, Gentler Empire" campaign)
And Does the fact that the first profession I mastered a year ago was rifleman and have kept ever since make me a FOTM temploiter?
Once I found my rifleman/commando combination I became the happiest nonjedi in the game. I love this template. Sure, it sucks in PvP because I don't exploit rifleman enough, but there isn't a single thing in PvE that I fear. At least not when I am buffed with full armor... except maybe a SBD or NS protector. But I will chew on elders all day.

Rifleman=1 year
COmmando= 6 months
Pilot= 2 months
FS= PPSsHHh.. yah right

I dunno if I count or not.
I read the forum virtually every day, but don't find it important to post most times.
I admit being a Commando/TKM and watching my unarmedspin2 take out a mob twice as fast as flamecone2 vs a mob of virtually anything pretty depressing.
that's with a 2.8 speed 844max flamethrower vs a defacto standard 2.2 speed 144max give or take vk.

well, if you pop a snow cake (got to be the best food in the game, with brandy in a colse secound) and get a nice slice, 2.8 speed counts, then you'll be good to go. just make sure you kneel.
