New page

A '''Technician''' is one of the middle tier [[Alien Ranks]] and is exculsive to Terror From the Deep. It is directly equivalent to the [[Engineer (Alien Rank)|Engineer Alien Rank]] in ''Enemy Unknown''. Their role is to keep the [[Alien Subs]] operational, and are often found near the [[Ion Beam Accelerators]]. It is for this reason that they are the crew members most likely to die when the Alien Sub is downed by an X-Com interception craft.

In combat a Technician has slightly superior fighting skills to a [[Soldier (Alien Rank)|Soldier]], and Aquatoid Technicians are capable of making (relatively) weak M.C. attacks. Tasoths never use Technicians.

==Deployment==
Notes:
* Only Lobster Men deploy Technicians on their Cruisers. Aquatoids and Gillmen will use Medics or Squad leaders instead.
* Gillmen and Lobster Men don't use Medics, and will deploy an equivalent number of additional Technicians or Squad Leaders instead.
* Tasoths never use Technicians; they will be replaced by Soldiers on Tasoth subs.
* None of the above has been taken into account in the following table.
