That's all I used, itdidn'treally take melong either. The hardest part was the AP points.

I tried the launcher pistol a little bit when i first got novice commando. I quickly found flamethrower to get me more xp per hour though. I would've probably tried some other weapons if I had found any for sale, but now I'm glad I didn't. Flamethrower is all you need.

I used the Flamethrower usually for levelling up in Commando. I sometimes used the Launcher Pistol with Chest Shot when I wanted to see some explosions, though.

The LP is simply awesome, but of course I have the BH pistol line that helps. Nothing like using a LP and actually setting someone on fire (torso shot). 
I only have the flame line which I think is the only functioning line. I was master commando, then I went MBH, I got bored of dying so I tried some hybrid combos. I have found BH 4340/commando 0040 to be the most fun, rewarding, and dangerous combo Ive played. I love taking down turrets and I really love hunting jedi and seeing their responses when I attack them. Nothing like having a stalker title and jedi not expecting BH/commando power. I use dizzy, then posture change,(they start flopping) then I use a couple torso shot with my LP so they cant see anything because of the clouds of smoke, I quickly run in and flame single 2 them. Then run back and keep my distance and spamming torso if they are not already dead, lol. Great fun!

Lol, FT all the way! I'm not master yet, but all the LP does is:
1. Give me Lag
2. Make me blind
3. Make my group flame me to stop

I used the FT to master the entire profession, myself (with a few bits of experience resulting from HPBC's here and there.)
If I were to try and do it again though, I'd use nothing but fanshot with the LP, given the pistol skills I have right now.

I used FT the whole way.
Just ran quenker missions, after I got flame 4 It only took me 1 shot per quenker kill 70% of the time.. and like 3 shots for each lair.

To add some text to the previous mis-printed topic:
I know we all play around with LP and HAR until we figure out they are useless, some of us may even throw a grenade or two for cxp, but my question is how many of us only went past Shock Trooper in order to get flamecone2 ad the flamethrower "perks".

I'm 2 boxes away from Master, but I have used the FT pretty much exclusively and intend to do so up to Master.

I dont think you really needed to ask, but if this catches the developers' eyes and they say, "well we gotta fix that" then good. Of course, what they'll do is nerf the FT so it's about as effective as the HAR.
Of course I used the flamethrower for the whole thing-Stright up the flamethrower column and then the rest just fell into place like right and left. I've used the HAR once when attacking an ATST with 100% flame resist. Other than that, NOT ONCE. I don't even bother with grenades. I bought some of the top grenades to see how they did once I hit master. Why should I bother with them? I do more damage at that same range with my non-depleting flamethrower.
I am and hope to stay a Master Commando, flurry galaxy. I've started dabbling with TKA though. I really enjoy beating the crap out of stormtroopers with my vibraknuckler. And I'm nearly as effective at melee range as a novice TKA as I am as a Master Commando. That really isn't right. Please make us what a commando should be!

I used nothing but FT since the day they upped the stats from the 50-200 5.5 Range. Took me about 3 months to Master Commando, what with being a casual player and not grinding at all. Managed to get the last Acid Rifle box by killing the Squill Cave on Tat though, FT is great there.
