You know, because of your guys horrible accuracy, I'll keep him around for comic effect. And to panic when the time calls for it.

Awww, that's no fun.

[Phantom]

Naw, he died already. Okay I'm kidding about everything, mission just started.

[breadbocks]

Always aim for the ground with HE.

[Phantom]

Woah, before I go any further, should I know anything about this?

[Tarran]

Not really. I think it may just be part of an old sunken ship. Nothing really special about it.

Also, I see you've equipped my guy with a Torpedo Launcher. About time.

It kind of looks like a Giant Plane, actually...
I'm staying outside of that thing.

[MaximumZero]

I wanna go investigate! Send as many of me as you have!

[breadbocks]

WAit.... You got Tasoths before Lobstermans?

[Phantom]

WAit.... You got Tasoths before Lobstermans?

I still don't know, but the presence of a scout brings something more...
Foreboding.

EDIT: Ah, just Aquatoid- WAIT AQUATOIDS!? I MUST CAPTURE THEIR COMMANDER!

[Heron TSG]

Gerald didn't do anything! Yay promotion!

[Phantom]

Actually he shot the first Gill Man of the war, or as I like to call them, Ugly Green Thong Wearing Men.

Spoiler: Update 5 (click to show/hide)

The Mission Where A British Man Passes
February 1st, 2040
Despite lack of new report, this day was still moderately interesting.




We had an increase in funding, which came to as a surprise to most of us, considering we wasted half of X-Com to capture 1 meager Alien Scout.

Code: [Select]

Attending: All on roster.
We also had to clear out another USO that a Barracuda shot down, even though it outran it 4 times. It was small and crewed by Aquatoids. Another day at the market.




We had a few new recruits too. Including a pleasant Englishman known as Virgil Remmington, who nearly made General Foley and General Phantom pass out from reading his recruitment form. Tarran also obtained his lovely Torpedo Launcher.




Tarran: Why do I have to go out first all the time!?
Virgil: Because you have the blunderbuss, good chap, now go out there and give them hell!
Tarran: When you die, I'll be very happy.




Tarran: Uh, guys, what is this? Command?
Gen. Phantom: Oh that was just a plane shot down by a UFO in the First Alien War. Apparently it was destroyed before one of our interceptors could destroy the UFO attacking it. _{It also carried my brother, incompetent Interceptors...}




Gerald: I swear I see something moving in there.
Ghost: Yeah, I think we should just capture the USO instead of a rusting piece of plane, Gerald.




Tarran: Wait! Ah crap my Torpedo blew it's corpse up.




Virgil: What!? This pitiful pistol does worse than my flintlock!




Max: Yet there is no kill like overkill.




Ghost: Gah, these guns are crap again.




Max: Nope, nothing to blow up. Call me later if there is something.




Henri: Bah, what is this!? They insult my abilities!




Virgil: Aha! The illusive Sea Dwarf!




Virgil: Oh god, fare_{well chaps.}
Tarran: YEEEES!



Henri: Richard! How did you get there?
Richard: Ran from an Alien.
Henri: Well...




Henri: Catch this!




Richard: Thanks!




Richard: Eat this, midget!




It was a relatively good break from the other missions.

[MaximumZero]

Overkill is the only kind of acceptable kill.

[Sheb]

Can I join?

Name: Sebastian Worms
Weapons: 'nade, 'nade and more 'nade. Also a couple Stun Rob for throwing.
Bio: Sebastian liked throwing stuff since his earliest childhood. He threw pens, paper, food, and toys. As he grew up, he started hurling stones and balls, as well as the occasional midget. Now, he's very happy to have found a job where he can exploit his natural talent for throwing.

[Azzuro]

Also, any suggestions for research, anyone?

In my (admittedly limited) experience, you should go for sonic weapons and rush to the Oscillator first, making diversions for Sonic Pulser and/or Mag Nav -> Transmission Resolver if they come up. Unlike in EU, the Sonic Oscillator requires all three weapons (and three clips) to be researched first, which takes long than you think. Sonic Pulsers are useful for indirect kills in the early game, where almost all your aquanauts can't hit the broad side of a barn. Transmission Resolvers are essential for detection of USOs, always a priority.
