The primary differentiating feature of the Tadpole versus the Alamo is landing capability. The Tadpole has the ability to land in any unobstructed, open-air area, drastically increasing the deployment flexibility of any marine force that choses to use it over the Alamo. This comes with the downside of defense, as a the Tadpole can quickly be overrun if caught out of position, as well as the downside of size. Being a small vessel, it can be tricky to load a substantial amount of cargo onboard, and the ship will quickly get cluttered if over capacity.

The controls are accessed through the central console. Transit is performed similarly to the Alamo, with the caveat that the Tadpole doesn't go directly to the ground. After a transit phase, and Tadpole will wait in low atmosphere, designated by the surrounding clouds. From here, using the console will bring up the landing interface. After selecting a landing point and touching down, the Tad can be sent back into low atmosphere to reposition, or sent back to the ship from low atmosphere.

Anyone with access to Alamo cockpit can also operate the Tadpole. It has two slots for mounted turrets on the front, and one slot for mounted machinegun in the center. The TAD can land anywhere where the is no "hard roof" - like near Alamo, or near all plasma drills, but caves are (mostly) unavailable.

== Tadpole Equipment ==

* Two slots for turrets on the front.
* One rear slot for mounted guns.
* One medical dispenser on the wall, containing:
** Russian red pill bottle
** Ointment, gauze, splints
** Advanced kits, HF2
** Can take and refill most MarineMed autoinjectors
** Can refill anesthetic

==Landing the Tadpole ==
The Tadpole can land in any unobstructed, open-air position. When using the landing interface, accessible by using the central console in low-orbit, you will see a birds-eye view of the battlefield, and an outline of the Tadpole in the center of the screen. If the entire outline is green, you have a viable landing area; if any tiles are red, they are obstructed, and the Tadpole cannot land in that position. You can rotate the landing outline using the rotate button at the top of your HUD (smaller side is your nose). Once a landing field has been selected, the outline will turn blue, indicating that the Tadpole will arrive there shortly.

== TAD tips ==

* Although instead of turrets, CAS weapons can be installed on TAD, they won't be able to shoot.
* Mounted machinegun has IFF and also able to turn 180 degrees.
* Useful to always have some first-aid kits, along with food. Marines will thank you.
