I brought these two points up in the thread on the in concept forum, and I think that as a community, we should push for them extremely hard. The commando should be providedwith two additional weapons, and since the developers are going to be redesigning the combat system in the not so disant future, now is the time in which we should push for them.
First, the heavy acid rifle needs to go, as nobody here likes it even if it were working. This gun should be replaced by a very high dps repeating beam rifle. It should have a unique damage type, such as cold damage, which would compliment the flamethrower. This should be our bread and butter weapon, our all purpose asault weapon of choice. We are master marksmen, and elite soldiers, it's about time we recieve something that goes in line with this.
Two, the E-web repeating mounted blaster. The potential for tactical pvp encounters would be incredibly enhanced if master commandos were given the ability to set up and use the E-web. It would be in essance a mini turret, that would take up to 10 seconds or so for a commando to set up, undisturbed. It should be devastating with a firing arch of say 120 degrees, but if outflanked, the commando should be a sitting duck, perhaps even being able to be used by an enemy master commando if the original commando is taken out. Perhaps even a specialised droid could be used to help hasten the construction of this weapon.
I encourage the community to push these ideas hard, as if we're ever going to get items such as these, now is the time to push hard for them.

Well, I've been a proponent of this idea from the very beginning, so you've got my support.

I agree with the stationary gun idea and nerfing the HAR, however (and this is highly opinionated) Commandos are now known for their flamethrowers and I think that should remain our bread and butter weapon (maybe I don't understand you right)! I've grown to love my flamethrower its the most fun I've had in the game, after dabbling in many professions I know want to master commando for one reason FLAMETHROWER!!!!

It's part of the big change dealie they're doing. Combat redesign will be taking place in the march-april timeframe.
The things about the new repeater that I really think would be cool though would be that it would be made our new standard by choice - ie. it's just as fun as, if not even morefun to use than the flamethrower, depending on personal preference. Do you like light damage hitting really, really fast, or do you like it up front with a DoT?
Pesonally, I like automatics, so the choice would be simple.
