Though if the enemy is moving, the orbital strike will hit where they were when it fires from your ship, so it doesn't track perfectly. Not sure if the Eagle will be more accurate since they release their payload right before impact

Could you jump onto an enemy and ragdoll drop a marker onto it?

The other day a small jumping bug instantly carried the gatling bombardment marker from where I threw it right into the middle of our team and I was very glad the ship targets the spot where it first lands.

Is the premium war pass you get with the upgrade a permanent thing or is it going to be like a subscription type model where you might not get access to future premium content

Super citizen gets the premium warbond, armour that looks cool, but has an equivalent in the main (free) warbond and a DDR minigame on the ship. All the guns are in the warbonds. You can easily buy the premium warbond by picking up money in game. In fact the free warbond lets you unlock currency very quickly. E: whoops it does come with the Knight SMG. I've never used it lol.

Against robots at least it can one shot any of the trash mobs (and the dude riding on the scout mech) in a single shot, not just a headshot or anything a body shot too, making it really good at clearing space around you if you're getting surrounded and need to run away. As a side arm it doesn't seem like it needs to be able to kill elites to still be good.

I've been kicked a small number of times and it's always been loading into bridge. I assume people are waiting for mates or don't want to play with randoms, but aren't away of the friends settings. I've never been kicked for non-meta loadouts or been kicked for a tk in a mission. People seem overall pretty chill in 7-9. I'm not sure if there are people in lower difficulties that have broken their brains on YouTube and demand specific loadouts.

i've used the mortar sentry quite a bit now and i'm having trouble imagining how placement would even make a difference with teamkilling. it's indirect fire, it's going to shoot your teammates no matter what. maybe i'm missing something

You're attempting to build a wall of fire that kills things before they get close enough that the mortar is dropping on both of you.

Fortified is my poo poo because you can get guns to be laser-accurate if you don't need to move a lot, and eating rockets won't always kill you which are by far the most 'oh bullshit' deaths I deal with.

I've been easing my way into bug missions on Veld, and just gave the flamethrower its first test-run (not least because I had a personal mission to kill 100 enemies with one). It's definitely got a learning curve, but I think I learned to respect it as a reasonable alternative to a heavy machinegun that has powerful (if dangerous) anti-armour and area-denial capabilities. Be interesting to see how high I can go up the difficulties with it as my main support weapon.

Mortars can work against robots, but absolutely not against bugs given how often you're fighting in close proximity with them.

A common loadout is flamethrower and jump pack for blitz/egg missions. If you use it a lot and get used to it you'll be good at using it too, which is more important than picking something "good" that you personally don't like using.

I enjoy scout armor because mobility is key and being able to outrun and reposition is huge and you can dictate the engagement range easier, denying most every enemy the ability to hit you. Also that radar is nice. Agains droids I like to use the Marksman rifle with it and headshot mofos. Add the recoilless rifle for anti-armor duties or the railgun and you got it made.

If heavy armour worked I'd be perfectly happy trudging through the middle of the map, but it doesn't so light armour is basically the only choice.

I like the look of the gold and black fancy armor and the 50% chance to not die has saved me about 50% of the time which is pretty huge.

Yeah that's the one armour worth going up a class for on style and substance points. I love the look of the heavy armour. There's one with cool bandoliers all over it. Looks very rough and ready.

So, in light of the battle for Veld, what are the particularly good anti-bug stratagems, particularly at mid and low tiers? I've been having decent luck with my old friends the Eagle airstrike and gatling turret, the minefield has had its uses, and (as mentioned) the flamethrower seems a pretty solid support weapon, but I'm open to experimentation and expanding my arsenal.

Just play around for sure! The things you list are great, additionally the cluster bombs, stalwart/LMG, gas orbital and napalm all have a place in bug war.
