You’re all wrong. (except feyne). if you're just in it for the xp to get to master fast go to dath and get GIANT baz nitch lairs. Giants because giant baz nitchs are vulnerable to heat (no other baz nitchs are) and give you 4.9k xp pre kill. If you get in a full group you can get 199 difficulty giant baz nitch lairs (they go for 11k-12k) that you can get 70k xp off easy.
Uhm, max commando heavy weapons XP is roughly 3K.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. XP is capped around 5k (can be a bit higher with group bonuses) in general. The XP is awarded based on % dmg/weapon. If you kill a 5k XP mob using only a flamethrower, you will get 5k XP. XP is not capped based on the weapon. If you use two weapons, however, the XP will be divided up. 40% pistol dmg + 60% FT dmg = 2k pistol XP, 3k FT XP

Well I wish I had read this part of the forum for some places to go to get XP, I found my own spots that helped out though. I started the Commando profession after dropping BH so I had some left over HW and Combat XP that let me get a jump on things. Here is what I did to make MC.
Two ways you can do this, I did it 50-50. You can make money and XP or just go for the XP. I started by going to Dantooine and getting into a solo group and then taking the 27k Janta/Mokk missions. The difficulty was only 99 per mission and Mokks drop pretty quick. Each Mokk will give you 3k HW XP and around 300 combat xp. Only drawback on these is they all attack at once most times and are in a group of at least 4, most I saw was 6, so good Kinetic Armor, either some good Comp or Ubese will do, and I also buffed up. My buffs lasted around 3.5 hours on average and per buff I could walk away with about 450k worth of credits and some decent XP.
Another good placeI found that was easy for me was the Sennex cave on Tatooine, part of the Hermit Quest, I went there after getting Flame Cone 1. If you can get to this cave while there is no one there or maybe 1 or 2 others you can make some really fast xp. I wrapped up Acid Rifle 3/4 in under 2 hours, my total xp for that time was a little over 500k HW and around 50k combat. Again with good high resist comp and a buff if you are the only one there be ready for a fight. The mobs stack it may only look like 1 or 2 in a group but when you hit them with flame cone 1 they will spread out and circle you. Turns out there is around 8 or so in each group. Which is fine because the spawn rate is fast and they drop easy, I got around 1.2 to 3k per kill.
That is how I went about getting my Master Commando Tag. I am not saying my way is the best or the fastest way, I am just trying to give you guys still grinding some ideas to use. It only took me about 3 days to make MC and I think I could have done it quicker but at times I let some lower level guildmates tag along so they could get some XP and cash while I was on Dantooine. But that worked good for me and I hope it will help some of you guys as well.

Commando has always looked fun, I know the class has it's issues, but all classes do. It'll be fun going up the commando tree.

As a master commando i think its a pretty good profession, if you are smart with it you can be deadly. Like most people don't realize being a master commando isn't the last step its the half way point if you want to become a real amazing pvp character or just a good npc fighter. As a commando you need to use what is left of those skill pts you got and throw them into other things that can help you out in a fight. Basically what i am saying is go after some defense trees in the tka and fencer professions, use all the skill pts you got. Now if you do that you will be able to hold up against most pvp players and don't forget that buff, food, drinks, and a nice rocket launcher, aside one good flamethrower. If you get those items you might just beat most players or npcs you battle.
