The commando correspondent seems very pleased with the secrets of the combat balance and the GCW revamp. I am intrigued
I haven't been a commando since November- when flame throwers ruled pvp. This was before incredible defenses, consistant 2400 buffs, and consistant high resistant armor came into being. Master Commando was never worth the skill points....but soon it appears that it will be.
There appear to be some changes that will be coming to Jedi that will make it less of an option to use asmy GCW character. The two options availabe are 1. NERF them or 2. Take them out of the civil war. It seems more likely that Jedi will remain powerful but out of the civil war.... The devs hinted atDarth Vadercoming to kill them. This combined with the developer statements about making rangedcombat viable means that players will be able to live the Star Wars GCW fantasy of blasters, guns, etc.

If only I had his trust.
and knowledge.
unfortunately SWG is dead to me.
I dont know much the developers can do to make it fun again.
even if the entire combat was revamped and it was a true MMO again.
Its SOE and all they've done is let me down in the past /:
*sighs and moves on with life*

Wow, if Vader came out in public I could just see this happening:
Aboard a nearby star destroyer, Vader is speaking with the Emperor:
Emperor: LUUKE' SKY-w'ALKER must not become a Jedi.
Darth Vader: If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally.
Emperor: Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
Darth Vader: He will join us or die, my master.
Meanwhile, in Coronet:
LUUKE' SKY-w'ALKER: HAHA I PWNZ U ALL WIT SABERTHROW AND FORCERUN3!!!11!
Darth Vader appears!
Darth Vader: You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.

yeah, buffs destroy any chance of a commando being bad ass right now, but the real kiker is the fact that we have no defense, hope that changes!

Im going to respectfully disagree with you here - buffs do not destroy any chance of a commando being badass at the moment. In my opinion, they only exacerbate existing problems with our profession of choice. If some of our base shortcomings and problems were addressed, buffs would not be an issue for us.
Examples:
Armor Piercing, or rather the lack of it on the flamethrower. If the FT had at least AP1 a lot of our problems would be solved.
Targetted pool attacks. We cannot target a single pool on our target, ie no health shot, no action shot, no mind shot, no scatter shot. Our attacks are random, and that hurts us badly in pvp.
Lack of defenses (as you wrote above).
Lack of accuracy.
Short range on our specials. Some guy with a stick has more reach than our flamethrower which forces us into melee range, in turn eliminating any advantages a ranged profession has.
And the list goes on, but its been said before so I wont go into any more detail.
Instead of nerfing buffs, perhaps the devs could improve our skills a bit to make us competitive.

I just wanna say I completely agree with u on the issues, I was just stating my biggest problems with it as of right now. Mostly cuz im lazy and dont wanna type it all, but also because I dont know enough about the technical part of PvP (making me very bad at it I might add haha I know i am, im trying to get the hang of it still and im on month 9 haha) so some things about the commandos problems I dont entirely understand.
But yes u are correct JHH, those and many other things, plague our profession. I'm sorry for not being more specific, just didnt think it was necessary hehe 
Anyway, didnt mean to be ignorant of the facts, and for this i apologize

LUUKE' SKY-w'ALKER is (was? havent seen him in a while) a real person on Kettemoor, along with 50 billion other characters with leet-dood speak mixed case variants of the original starwars names. A lot of them speak like that too, which is sad because Kettemoor is supposed to be the roleplaying server. Nothing like trying to RP when someone named LUUKE' SKY-w'ALKER comes up to you and starts begging for credits in mixed case sms-speak.
My personal favorites were Chewbaccarat (variation on Burt Baccarat) the Entertainer, Gweedo, and Princes' Lay-me.
