My strategy was just getting buffed and mastering the flamethrower tree. Once you have that...you can pawn any mob. I did most of my leveling in the Squill Cave. My timing most have been good since I never had to really complete with anyone.......especially TKM's.

Use the Launcher Pistol with your previous pistol specials until you have at least the second box in flamethrower (killing rontos, pickets, macklocks) then you can whip out your flamethrower and forget you've ever even heard of a launcher pistol. Proceed to burn everything in sight.

use the LP till you get flame 3 - that is when it is truly accurate. Get buffed, grab some comp if you can and head to dant mining outpost. get mind and doc buffs and out you go - 5k quencker missions. I mastered commando on quenckers alone this time around. Dont get greedy and go for higher paying quenck missions - the relics and the savages will eat ya up - they spit lol. Hope it helps.

Another good tactic is to park yourself infront of a lair. Andwith yourflame thrower use the special Point Blank Area 1.
This will both damage the lairand any creatures with in a 6-10 meter range around you.
This works great with about any ranged weapon, I usedthat speciala lot leveling up marksman and getting my first 3 boxes in commando on the Test Center.
And then basically run some missions, and kill everything you see going to the missions and coming back to town. And you will make master commando in no time.

I'll give you my non grinder version of levelling commando, its a lot more fun, and very good for the casual player.
Every server I've seen, the area South of Coronet is full of vendors. I just pulled standard destroy missions from the mission terminal outside of the starport South, walked to them killing all the trash around the city, destroyed the lair, walked back to the terms, killing everything I see and repeating. Doing this I got familiar with the vendors, finding some nice armour/weapons vendors and even the small trash gives you over 100 heavy weapons and the corresponding combat XP. Its pretty easy to kill at least 10 critters out and 10 critters back. 1000 XP per trip extra at the very least. Find a Master CH and get a non CH mount. Carrion spats on Corellia are CL 10. With a mount you are now grouped for the XP bonus and can fire your weapons as you move.
If you can find a nice creature resource this is even better. Especially if the wooly hide is good. I picked off my first million on a good wooly hide spawn and killed all the durnis, paralopes and crazed durnis I could find.
Not as glamorous as the fully buffed trip to Dant killing armoured rats. But perfect for the player that cant string 3 hours of play time consecutively.

Solid advise there deedabug. I'm a bit different as I switch at Flame2, but use some sort of tank pet (usually a droid). Also I usually pick up some temp scout skills to run away if things go south and also to make some credits on the side selling hides to armorsmiths and meat to docs. Medic is nice as well.
Buffing, armor, and grouping with tank classes works ok as well...but watch out if you cone and get the attention of several MOBs.
NOT FUN!
