Firestorm
General Information
The first X-COM craft engineered from Alien technology, "Firestorm" is a direct replacement for the standard combat craft Interceptor.
With a crew of one, "Firestorm" has been designed around the classic "Flying Saucer" concept, with a central propulsion unit identical to those found in UFOs.
As a fighter "Firestorm" is much faster than Interceptor, and is capable of travelling fast enough to keep up with the majority of UFOs. However, it is dogged by what many Commanders consider to be an abysmal range. Although it may be slower, the Interceptor can travel farther on a full tank of fuel.
Special Requirements
The "Firestorm" fighter craft is fuelled by Elerium-115. Before manufacturing this craft, make sure that you have sufficient stocks of Elerium in your general stores.
