Send Delta to fix everything at 12:15

This should be more common. Send Delta down to fix TComms and power, then brief the other 3 squads and send then down normally.

All the mongo, metabu---- regulars who need to click on sprites are perfect for the kind of lone wolf task. Everything will be fixed before the rest of the marines get here and also the survivor's will actually get to live.

An added benefit is that it really rustles with the hive early game. The xenos start getting confused and will eventually be picked off by the over-stimulated Deltards looking for their next dopamine fix.

So yeah, should do this more.

It was a neat tactic, I agree. I don't think it should happen every round, though

As a deltard I enjoy being able to get into the action quicker and not bumble around for quite as long as everyone else. Sometimes the RO even gives us a free pass to speed up the line so we can get prepared in time. In my opinion it can even sometimes result in an eventual xeno loss on some maps because they just aren't prepared for marines to show up so early, at worst they'll have some T2's milling around.

That being said yeah probably shouldn't do it EVERY round.

I dunno, it depends a lot on WHO you send down.

I been NCO of Delta quite a few times as of late, and I gotta say, they are hard to control sometimes. It is easy for a squad to suddenly scatter all over the place if they see a SINGLE xeno, and the moment the fighting starts to pick up, I had many times where I was alone with just a few loyal followers, while the rest fucked off without so much as a peep.

If you got a good, coordinated squad that is willing to keep together when shit hits the fan, then yeah, having a forward team might be dandy.

Its not bad, they got power and tcomms up.

Than fucked off right away, which you sort of expect most of the time.

We still won the round tho so I aint got no real complaints.

I did this the other day, with bravo and Delta, and having them land LZ2, Breach into Viro, set up a fortified position in bravo, and then going throught he caves to blow into TComms. We accidentally blew a survivor up but hey I bet they weren't expecting that.
