I have a WS on starsider (I know this isn't trade forum so don't worry) and wanted to get an oppinion from you veteran commando on what is the best grenades you have bought. My WS produced some sweet 2.9 speed 1147 min 2067 max dmg imperial detonators and is currently working on some thermal detonators. Just want to find out what is your best experience with grenades and if they should be used by novice commandos?

The largest damage outpout grenades are protons, which generally run around 3k unsliced and powered up I think. I can get them to 4k sliced and 4.5k sliced with powerups.
Imp dets at 2k are pretty good. Generally what I use, get them sliced and power up'd. That'll bring them to 3.5k I think.
Thermal dets are my personal favorite. Sadly, I forget the statistics on them. I think its around 2.5k to 3k sliced with power ups. I generally don't care about speed as grenade speed seems to have no actual effect on how quickly you can huck them. It's always around 7 seconds for me regardless of speed or type of grenade. With that in mind, I use my speed sliced grenades on PVE stuff and keep my damage sliced grenades for PvP.
And a novice commando can't use any of these grenades. I think all a novice can use is the C22 frag and maybe one other. Moving up the field tactics lines of commando, you get the following grenades in this order, one type per skill box:
Glop
Cryoban
Imperial Detonator
Thermal Detonator
And in the master commando box you get proton grenades.

Correction to the numbers in my earlier post:
My sliced and PU Proton Grenades are 5.2k @ 5.4 speed. Both my Imperial and Thermal Detonators run around at 3.5k max dam sliced with PUs.

I will be sure to do that thanks. If accuracy is a big deal I will start factoring that in instead of HAM cost.

hamcost doesn't matter...the fact that ideal range is in blast radius if you don't expirement for range/acc is

It was by me, you can read it here.
Amana, ask your WS to put a couple points into experimentation. Tell them you want the Ideal Range of your grenades to be around 18-20m. You'll like it, trust me.

Acc is one of the most important aspects of grenades... I'm on infinity and in the progress of doing tests for a very good ws by the name of maggie... she is a ws that makes ONLY commando stuff.. and puts all her efforts into making the very best commando weapons.
We should be posting our findings soon on this forum, but just as an exampleher current imp dents (after testing) have a ideal of 27Meters (yeap a nice distance.. well away from dmg radius) and that's at +24... this means.. that me at master commando.... with no other mods attacking (ie food, clothes (if they were to even work ) or CA/AA's) i am able to hit with them from a nice safe distance about 85% (PVE) and with one snowcake... that becomes 99.9% (as in i didn't miss when i had cake with these grenades in 15 throws) Ofcourse we are stilling testing.. and if your a commando on infinity.. plz contact me if you wana help.. or just need the wp for the shop
