ok i have a few things.
1.) Grenades and Heavy weps. If they cant do any thing with them such as better mods or stat effects. The least I would like to see be done is either up the Number per stack from 5 to 20-30 in grenades and 30 to 55-100 in heavy wepons. Or drastily reduce there build cost!
2.) The Flame Thrower This was our one trick poney. And you shot him. So it would be great to either have a better Dot or a much lower delay time between specials.
Those would be what would make most commandos happy off the top of my head. Now let me be a lil more greedy with the following!
3.) HAR, all I can say is Wah! Lets upgrade this puppy so its not just a low jack Flame Thrower with no dot and less damage. There are other Lower Costing professions that have better acid wepons,so lets get on the ball with this wepon no?
4.) I remember reading something about us sapose to be the hard hitters? Lets back that up and don't give me that innitial damage crap cuz with armor we are out hit by so many others.
I could go on for a while but I think these are what would realy help us out 
please post your thoughts. (o and this is not a angry post just what I see we realy need at least one if not all of these till the CR)

I dont want to be negative but we have not only beat the dead horse, but have revisted it on a daily basis for the past couple of months. Frankly, it is starting to smell. 
I am not saying that your points are not true, because they are very true. These are items that have been needing to be addressed for a long time now. The only problem is that we know the problems and have no idea if any of the DEVs do. Sure we sent in a list of topics that need to be addressed before the CR and that is a step in the right direction. But for now, we are left to "wait and see."
I see the same posts day in and day out on these forums. I swear I have answered the same questions up to 3 times a day. We have nothing more to discuss. We know our issues. We know what must be done. It just needs to be implemented. When that is going to happen....

Skeptic,
I have been a commando for onlya couple days now. But i have seen the pattern of your posts as well. Your doing more harm to your profession then you know. If your not happy being a commando. Go try out one of the other 32 professions. One will make you happy. If you want to be the super PvPer go Master Rifler/Combat Medic. Wabt to be a PvE tank go TKM. Want love from the devs on a daily basis go jedi. But if you continue down this path every day your going to make theCommando forumnothing more then a flaming forum like BH and Jedi. And i think we have plenty of those to read.

OK.
What the heck is wrong with SOE. I can not make any demands because demands are never met. Unless I could hijack all there servers and hold them for ransom to get any fixes. But then they would say I am sorry we do not negotiate with terrorists or something then send out a game wide message saying "sorry for the inconvience but if we go down it is not our fault yadda yadda" They would in fact welcome this. Cuz then they can say not our fault and just blow it off.
As For commando. COME ON
WE ARE NOW THE MOST SKILL POINT COMBAT USED PROFESSION! At least make us feel that way!
Or do what they did for Bh and lower us by not needing unarmed cuz we don't need it, THen get rid of carbines cuz we dont use that or specials, and get rid of the master marksmen. And then we will be almost fighting at the level you think we are at maybe if you drop another tree of prerequ some where.
COME ON ALL READY youve had a year to make this better and done nothing. ACT ALL READY!

You really have some issues. Im an ex-Master Ranger twice. After I finish master commando i will probaly go back to master ranger/master ch. You want to talk about skill point intensive. As a novice commando i have done more damage then i did as any other class. It just comes slower.
Besides your just dying for the corresponded or devs to come in here to tell you your wrong. Your so starved for attention

Well I actually wasnt singling Skeptic out. There are many people that post similiar threads and are just trying to show what needs to be done. Nothing wrong with it and he posted well. His ideas were listed and organized. All I was saying was that we have been there and done that. They have had the ideas for long enough, it is time to act.

While commando definitely has its problems, I love being one. Sure, I'm not going to be great in PvP with commando alone (I'm going MFencer for PvP), it is a great PvE profession and a lot of fun. It definitely has bugs that need to be worked out, but it is the fact that it is fun that counts.

To make us at least viable, especially in PvP we need 1 major thing...More speed to our FT's...if we got +25 at least added to our FlameThrower Speed that would take us up to +70...and faster speed will translate into less of a delay post special...it will also bring us up to being comparable to other professions...not perfect, but a quick fix that would go a long way...
Beyond that I'm pushing for Grenade fixes (no damage to the user) and a bit of an HAR Revamp while we wait for the Combat Revamp...
Haven't heard back anything official on any of our suggestions, but hopefully we'll hear something soon or at least some plans for what we might get with or before Publish 10...

Agreed. I also think improved accuracy would help a lot. I was about to post a bit on Grenades. Fixing them would really add to the profession; definitely making it more, well, commando-like. Also, being able to use certain melee weapons would be very cool.
