What's the intended way of dealing with USOs until you get the Barracuda?
Last night I sent a Triton to raid a touched down USO(very small one)...then the touched down USO suddenly started moving and shot down my Triton...
It was April of the first year, when I had no access to Barracuda.
The only way to protect a Triton without Barracuda/Cormorant would be an escort of Seamaster, well at least it can be equipped with DUP...or save scum.
Players have to rush to Barracuda asap from the beginning, you might be able to unlock Barracuda in May/June if you rush, I totally ignore Cormorants btw.
I managed to finish the interrogation of a live cultist in March so Temple Mission should spawn in the next month.
and if I managed to finish researching Church Database in the same month then Blackbox Mission should spawn in the next month, May.
Creeper corpse unlocks Alien Containment facility, non-laser Cultist equipments unlock Stun Grenade, Live Cultist unlocks Temple Mission(in the next month after interroggation), Self-Propelled Projectile unlock Dart Gun with stun ammo, a live alien unlocks Stun ammo for Jet Harpoon, SORESO/Church Database unlocks Khimtar Crash Site(in the next month after the research of both databases), Heavy Aquatic Weapons unlock Torpedoes to deal with Xarquidos at the crash site, Khimtar Blackbox unlocks Barracuda, yay!
