This has got to be one of the most disappointing Dust 514 moments for me. For some reason, I never seem to notice the "ORBITAL AVAILABLE" message when I get one as squad leader. Sometimes it just completely flies my mind that they exist. Once, I forgot to use 2 and it was not pretty.

Other times I'll forget I have it until the end of the match because I'm focusing on fighting, by which time there's no where left to drop it with a large amount of enemies. At that point, it's either wait even longer, or drop it on one or two random guys. Either way, no one is happy. Responses range from no one saying anything to being reminded to being berated. I don't think I'll ever remember 100% of the time to launch Orbitals without some big, red, pulsating symbol in the corner driving me mad.

Anyone else forget? Am I alone in my plight of being Commander McForgetful? Oops

It's even more annoying when you get 2500+ WP on your own and aren't already in a squad (-________-)

Most of the time when I forget, it's because I've only died once or twice, usually before I've gotten an Orbital and at the end of the match when I do something stupid.

Then, you duck between a crate to set another one up and end up tagging a random blueberry near a greenberry and end up having to leave it like that to defend yourself.
