I recently had an idea for a Drone strategy:
- You and some small combat caste go behind enemy line
- You weed, slash all APCs, break all lights, melt all doors, etc. to ensure a good escape route
- You weed and sticky resin some chokepoints Marines always use (Big Red security and medbay exits, LV road, etc.)
- The combat caste camps that chokepoint. When a lone Marine enters the sticky resin, they get murdered
- If they clear the sticky resin, replant it
With just two xenos you slow down any reinforcements or retreats considerably, plus give yourself plenty of opportunity to murder people behind enemy line. Bonus points - you have a Drone that can melt an entire FOB if it's ever left unattended. Also, since the Drones mature so fast now you will have an Elder / Ancient Drone doing this with their limitless plasma, plus it's a T1 strategy .

Re: Asshole Drone and friends
I see alot of this happening already and in the past, in teams and by themselves.
Max Dallas has been hit in the chest by the M40 HEDP grenade.
I will murder you Brittany Breeze
"It was a fantastic round. If the CO hadn't cryo'ed before the end I'd have bothered him to give at least two more medals. To PFC Max Dallas, who kept doing the path between the frontlines to FOB (the only place with medical aid) with a roller bed, and saved a lot of marines who'd have husked otherwise. And to Dr. Haley Altman, who after all medics were gone was fixing us time and again for hours straight. At the end there were over 10 patients around her either dead or in crit, and she just kept going."

Alternatively:
Be a drone
Go to fob
Single-handedly melt everything because Bravo left to go fight on the frontline.
Laugh as command is blamed for everything.

Re: Asshole Drone and friends
A great techic as a drone/carrier.
Get someone to put a single sticky resin in a doorway, hide out of visual and wait for a marine to step in and combat hug that standing still marine.

Re: Asshole Drone and friends
Better tactic: make a little spot to hid where marines can't see you as Carrier, wait for them to engage your sisters nearby, then run out and hug 2-3 people before returning to your hiding spot. Either the remaining marines charge in to try to kill you and you get another 1-2 hugged marines, they stay to help the others up and you can potentially run back out to hug another, or they panic and your sisters can kill a few before dragging the captures off.
