Quantum Physics (Apocalypse)

Quantum Physics is the study of all mechanical aspects regarding the Apocalypse: the weaponry, their technology, and their UFOs.
Quantum Physics
Alien weaponry shares a passing resemblance to common human types known for impact and explosive damage. A new strange beam weapon, handheld and craft based, is a powerful new technogy which must be researched and used against the aliens. Alien crafts unknown in purpose, design, and capability with strange missiles pollute the skies until X-Com can gain the required knowledge to counter this threat.
Quantum Physics Laboratory
Various scientific topics will become available once the strange object is successfully recovered from dead aliens or UFO crash recoveries. Using the knowledge acquired will allow using their own tools against them, knowing which weapon is best against the alien's weaknesses, using their handheld devices to circumvent certain types of damage, matching UFO combat power with their own weapons and finally, to invent new X-Com crafts to exploit all this new information.
