The Destroyer is necessary for further research efforts into better X-Com craft.

The Fast Attack Ship's small, single height door opens into the large open trench which has minimal cover. Agents positioned on both sides of the ridge allow easy engagement of any alien stepping through the door.<br>

The UFO roof is accessible to ground-based units via the hill on the western side but will also allow aliens to start on the roof. The tunnels within the hill contains a narrow grav-lift which allows units to reach the peak to overlook the UFO roof if the slope-access section is destroyed.<br>

Entrance into the Fast Attack Ship is via a short corridor which can become a choke point, but it then opens to left and right passages which can turn into an ambush, including being attacked from above by other aliens in hiding when passing by the central grav-lift. Level Two is compact with some short corridors whereas Level Three is an open platform floor style which can be deadly from weapons fire from multiple directions for any agent clearing out the UFO. If on the roof, a hole in the exact center will limit effectiveness of aliens ready and in-hiding to shoot agents in their rear.
