UFO Types

The UFOs deployed by the aliens range in size and the mission profiles they are most commonly seen on, and have other parameters yet to be determined.

Small Scout UFO

The most basic UFO, which can be easily handled by the default Interceptor with minimal damage sustained. Generally contains 3-4 Sectoids/Floaters and 1 Outsider.

Medium Scout UFO

Can be handled by a default interceptor, with heavy damage sustained. Includes at least 2 alien groups and 1 outsider.

Large Scout UFO

Text here!

Abductor

This UFO will be announced by Central as being "much larger than the UFOs we have previously encountered". You'll need an interceptor with an upgraded weapon to take one down consistently. The UFO itself is composed of multiple levels, including operating tables and stasis pods. Expect at least 5 groups of aliens and 2 outsiders. Salvage from these craft is extremely high.

Supply Ship

Larger than an abductor and only seems to show up after the alien base mission is complete. It will be very difficult to down one of these without laser or plasma weapons on your interceptor. Expect 5-6 groups of Mutons, Berserkers and Heavy Floaters. 2 Sectoid Commanders can be found on the bridge.

Battleship

An advanced large UFO. Engage with a Firestorm armed with Plasma or EMP cannons.
