Additional Information
Geoscape=
In the air this ship represents a major threat to X-COM interceptors. It has a massively up gunned craft weapon for its size, at a weapon power of 40 it is capable of quickly destroying an Interceptor in only three shots, and is capable of striking a fighter at long range. Though its armour is nothing to write home about. Strategically, be wary of engaging this UFO with standard Interceptors, however the uparmoured Retailator should have little difficulty in surviving the initial assault to down a Fighter.
Fighters generally are deployed early on during Alien missions, and will generally land to conduct ground operations, which represent a less stressful opportunity to eliminate the UFO.
Battlescape
Despite its impressive firepower, the ship itself is very small, only slightly larger than the Medium Scout. It nonetheless operates an identical crew-number akin to a Medium Scout, approximately 9 to 12 Aliens should be expected.
This is a one-level ship, an octagon shape similar to a Medium Scout but with two small external wings attached, a single UFO Power Source is typically found inside one of the wings.
Most variations of the Fighter have a single entrance located by one of its external two wings, some rarer designs have two entrances located in both external wings. If the sole Power Source is destroyed during an interception, this can expose one of the external wings as an alternate entry point.
Inside the UFO there is are real areas for Aliens to hide for an ambush. However the density of internal automatic doors could allow an Alien to hide in the engine room, then sprint to the entrance to attack incoming soldiers.
There are 9 possible internal configurations.
