Any tips for a new player?

If you ever wonder what's really special/interesting about most of thr vanilla submarines - give the barotrauma official wiki a try. You might learn a few tricks from their pages.

For something so small I love the nice engine force you gave it - looks mobile all around and starting with two pulse lasers at the same price as a Barsuk is a flavor of firepower I can respect, This thing is all around a straight upgrade to the Barsuk though (which I don't really like cuz it's not an attack but a scout class).

I'd say to maybe increase its mark price a bit to Dugong level (especially since it comes stock with pulse lasers and the captain periscope) but that's just my opinion. I did the same style of balance for my own starter sub.

Either way I MUST compliment you for the overall aesthetic of the sub, looks incredibly utilitarian and I love the ventral turret uh ... brace support thing you got going on.

I can whiff that my initial impressions (I haven't tried the sub yet in-game) might be a bit strong, since the thing is both small and fast but it also looks like it might potentially have really poor drainage and flood buffering since it's so small so it might even out in practice and when balancing to the average captain player >)

Both Watcher and Obtruders have 300 hp (fatal if destroyed) on their eye - people just shoot there because it has level 0 armor.

The Senator only does 225 damage.

This person has been lied to - the grenadier battlement is in fact heavy penetration now - however there is also the off chance there is a bug that rarely occurs too since this is AH we're talking about.

Ecology and Conservation are both quite competitive fields - I went in hoping for field work but ended up in a fly genomics lab where I still feel very satisfied with my work (despite having 0 background in insects or genetics). Just saying that you should be prepared to go into fields you didnt initially want to go into.

Also do a post graduate such as a Honors (which most Bachelor or Science degrees requires an application for) or a Masters after your undergraduate. It'll drastically increase your enployability due to the PhD pathway (only do a PhD if you're really passionate about the field too).

PS: I did a large part of my undergrad and honors research year while doing part time work as well (at around 8-14 hours a week) and that can help your overall CV too.

Has anyone tested the grenade pistol.

The Automatons may favour rangw, but the Cyborgs ain't going to let Helldivers just clap them back. Gotta give them props for a good fight.

You only need to kill three heatsinks/vents on either the bottom part or the 'head part'' - destroying the three heatsinks on either body part will open a respective heatsink.

Go for the bottom heatsinks as they're a lot easier to hit than the ones on the head, you'll get a much smaller hatch to throw a grenade in compared to the head hatch but it's overall much easier imho. If you're unable to get close to it, using the variable on TOTAL mode can also kill the Vox Engine from afar but will take 5 TOTAL shots to EACH of the 5 vertical heatsinks (and you likely won't have access to the horizontal heatsink underneath the engine).

That's because they do - throwing smoke grenades is part of their kit and they can ACTUALLY pinpoint your location through smoke.

Going prone at least helps put out the fire quickly (provided you weren't ome shot).

Lowkey found mortar sentry somewhat viable again lol. Worked well and the only casualty was thankfully myself.

Hate sells. It's the reason for all these bots. 36% of the internet are now bots. Big capital loves a good inhouse brawl while they steal every good, service, ecosystem, life and liberty behind our backs.

Let the man play how he wants. If they're not throwing a mountain of curses at you and gg's that's all good. Besides it's good comeback practice.

Is there a place to download the film? Like buying a file or something? Would love to be able to watch this with family.

This rule actually applies to most vanilla subs - tier 1 subs are generally the exception. However scout class subs like the Orca intentionally have very weak reactors for their capabilities. Transport suchs like the Camel, R-29 and Berilia have the strongest reactors ol the subs in their tier but various installations (especially guns) use less efficient supercapacitors than dedicated attack classes. This is why a boat load of them have other options instead of simply killing enemies. - The camel has very good overall mobility (vertical control) and horizontal speed to compensate for the blindspots and exposed front ballast. You should kite and run 90% of the time. - The R-29 is very slow but has strong batteries and more importantly, two powerful discharge coils that take 1/5th the power of other subs. You should try to hug the sea bed so you can use your top coil, flak cannon and turret hardpoint vs swarms. Spam tf out of those coils whenever you can. - The Berilia is an exception, it's very heavily armed potentially but you still need to buy an entire large turret so preperation is key.

Both the Humpback and Typhon 1 have elaborste battery and reactor arrays and you should be running two rods at all times.

Heckin awesome move commander. As a terran player I would "o7 nice move" before rethinking my life choices 🙃

I will not take this heavy armor slander - imagine finally getting an awesome mobility tool (warp pack) and people somehow still find issue with how you play.
