If I were to say one thing as a negative, it was that despite taking the Menacing Laughter feat at 2nd level, I never actually had the opportunity to make use of it. The requirements to use it AND for it better than a straight Demoralize before you fire your weapon are pretty strict. You have to:
-Have two or more enemies in your gun’s AOE
-Have two or more enemies become suppressed by failing their save or being hit with Primary Target
-Have these enemies also be within 30 feet of yourself
-Not have already demoralized these enemies with your great intimidation score
I can definitely see situations where you’d use it, but with how things played out, I was a bit disappointed that I was never able to let out a maniacal cackle at the table.

I myself was a Bombard Soldier using a Stellar Cannon. With the heavy armor, high HP, and ability to reduce enemy attack rolls with the suppressed condition, the party had absolutely no trouble taking hits. Even in a severe encounter, it never really felt like we were in danger. It should be noted, though, that it was a fight against of group of Laser Dogs, so with the party's AOE options it was probably a lot easier to handle than a fight against a higher level boss with this class, which we didn't get to try out today.

Other than that, I found it very nice how free stat allocation felt. With constitution covering armor, carrying capacity, and intimidation, it felt like I was free to invest anywhere else without much issue. You could invest in dexterity for rolling attacks with primary target, strength for using melee weapons, or ignore those for mental stats since you can still blast AOEs using your class DC.
