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.

5 groups of alien troops.
2 command aliens on the bridge

Supply Ship

Larger than an abductor and only seems to show up after abductors. It will be very difficult to down one of these without laser or plasma weapons on your interceptor. This UFO is composed of multiple levels, with the majority of the ship devoted to a series of massive cargo holds.

5-6 groups of alien troops.
2 command aliens on the bridge

Battleship

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