The UFOs are used by the Alien invaders to perform a variety of hostile acts across the planet Earth, they are represented as large, blocky, geometric shapes that defy the laws of aerodynamics. Powered by Elerium-115 and constructed by Alien Alloys.
Compared to vanilla, UFOs are generally more armoured and are a bigger threat to X-COM interceptor craft.
UFO Interiors
The core concept of what is inside a UFO remains unchanged from vanilla. UFOs will contain a UFO Navigation, UFO Power Source, Alien Alloys, and Elerium-115. With larger or specialist craft sometimes containing more unique/esoteric equipment.
One major departure from vanilla is that each UFO class contains multiple different internal configurations. This means a single class of UFO could have half a dozen or more unique layouts when you force your way onboard. This can make each UFO assault a unique affair, and makes it harder to formulate a catch-all breaching strategy.
UFO Types
Very Small UFOs
Small Scout - Very Small UFO that looks like an Apollo capsule. Unchanged from vanilla. Versatile mission range.
Small UFOs
Medium Scout - Classic flying saucer style UFO. Slightly increased gun range. Versatile mission range.
Large Scout - Cross shaped UFO. Unchanged from vanilla. Versatile mission range.
Fighter - Small ship intended to deter hostile interception. Features a powerful weapon compliment for its size, identical crew compliment to a Medium Scout. Versatile mission range.
Sentry Ship - Widely displaced ship intended for patrol duties. Intended to deter hostile interception. Features a weapon of similar range to a Fighter, but with greater firepower. Versatile mission range.
Excavator - Small ship designed for construction and digging work on the ground. Pose little threat to interceptions. Typically seen on Base Construction, Research and Abduction missions.
Medium UFOs
Abductor - Medium-sized UFO used primarily for human experimentation.
Harvester - Medium-sized UFO with food and surgery units. Used to abduct cattle for food.
Large UFOs
Terror Ship - Large UFO used to unleash assault teams and Terror Units on residential areas.
Supply Ship - Large-sized UFO for transportation of aliens, food, and other supplies.
Very Large UFOs
Lab Ship - Very Large UFO tasked with major research and harvest operations. Holds a large crew compliment.
Battleship - Very Large UFO used to intimidate Earth's peoples and leaders, and to assault X-COM bases, along with a variety of other roles.
