Hi everyone
I decided yesterday to try and master commando to see if it's any fun. I was looking for some pointers on this profession. If you could give me some info on the following questions it would be great.
1. What weapon should i use to achieve max damage. Flame, Launcher pistol, or acid rifle. I currently am a master pistoler but will be using those skill point as i go up the commando tree. I figured i should use Fan shot as much as possible with the launcher pistol, what do you think?
2. Whats the best hunting ground for commandos. I perfer caves rather that missions, so where do you suggest i hunt?
3. Are any of the commando special attacks broken (pistoler is broken all over the place).
4. Is commando fun because i dont want to grind i want to enjoy my gameplay.
Thx

1. Since you already have pistoleer, using your pistoleer skills with the launcher pistol is a good idea. The only viable commando weapon is the flamethrower, and whether you simply do 0040 commando or master, doesn't mean much of a difference.
2. When you get flamer III/IV, I suggest getting a 3-4k HAM droid. It can tank creatures long enough for you to flamecone them. Lotta fun as well
3. All our specials are "working", but half of them are for the acid rifle which is a inferior weapon to the flamethrower.
4. The fun part about being commando is that you can lay waste to most creatures running about in the wilds, with the exception of the super tough ones such as krayts/kimos.
The highend dungeons aren't much fun when you notice the little use your flamethrower is, though.

what he said.
Flamer (unless you're a MP) is the only weapon we have. There's nothing really "good" about us except for that

I mastered commando and dropped it less than a week later. Not for grinding, but for the fact that only 1 line of the skill tree is worth anything.

Get some good kinetic armor and buffs. Go to Dantooine and get some quenker missions. Use your launcher pistol, target the lair and spam fanshot. You'll master Commando in no time.

A1: If you're still a master pistoleer when you're done, possibly the LP. You're correct in your musings over fanshot as well... that'll help you get up in commando exponentially. 
Once you loose those skills though, the only real option you'll have is the FT, which has massive (non-AP) damage, with slow delay.

A3: Any attack affiliated with the Heavy Acid Rifle is next to pointless. As a 0-0-4-0 pistoleer (or higher) you're better off, by far,using the DX2.
A4: If you like flashy explosions *particularly if you fanshot with the LP 
) then you'll have a blast with the profession.
