Mixed Crew

In 'Terror from the Deep', some of the various alien races will band together in various situations, such as Tasoth with Gillmen.

For example, the Gillmen may hold an Alien Colony, but a few Lobstermen on the same map may render most long-range weapons useless, or a single Tasoth in a control tower may provide the hosts with a Molecular Control advantage.

A mixed crew classification means that there will be a mixture of all aliens. It will be primarily a Tasoth crew, with additional supporting aliens from any of the other crew types and their respective terror units. A mixed crew can also bring terror units that are normally only found on sea-based USO recovery and alien installation assault missions onto land-based missions. For example, Xarquids can sometimes be found on shipping lane missions.

If you missed capturing an alien, such as the Deep One or Calcinite and have gone without the technologies that they provide for many months, these aliens will often make a reappearance in mixed crew land based missions, allowing you another chance to capture them.
