Dear Cirno,

>>1) Why the hell do TFTD Aquanauts suck much more than the rookies you get in UFO Defense?

Because it is underater, duh!


>>My standard build from UFO doesn't really work (all rookies get HE autocannons/rocket launchers because fuck aiming, splash damage is king)

Yep, this does not work anymore. Using the UFO builds in TFTD will not work they nerfed the cheese builds.

You have to just use basic rifles and tazers and deal with it, rush research to gauss weapons ASAP.

Otherwise as far as game mechanics go everything should be identical almost identical just your rookies suck more and enemies are better.

Another thing is capture live aliens ASAP you need them to unlock the invisibly and secretly locked research trees.

Yes research is locked without the game telling you so you cannot rush to the best guns immediately. You need to research alien corpses and live aliens first.

Also if you go to a gillman terror mission CAPTURE A LIVE DEEP ONE or else the higher research cannot be unlocked and Gill men stop appearing later aso you are locked out of research for the rest of the game.

Research a deep one corpse then a live deep one ASAP.

>>Only had Aquatoids and Gillmen show up so far, so I'm probably in for a world of hurt when the game gets serious.
Oh you bet!
