Fast attack ships are the first UFO you encounter that can destroy [[Hoverbike_(Apocalypse)|Hoverbikes]] in one hit. Fortunately they will rarely hit any Hoverbike and your losses can be kept minimal if you keep them at a decent distance. They are also the first UFO with an armor rating that seriously hampers the power of conventional weapons. The [[40mm_Auto_Cannon_(Apocalypse)|40mm Auto Cannon]] will harmlessly bounce off of most armor facings, and [[Bolter_4000_Laser_Gun_(Apocalypse)|Bolter Lasers]] will struggle to scratch the UFO. Despite the ship's incredibly fast speed you can still hit it with missiles, and a combination of stronger terran weapons will take it down with little trouble. |
