Magic9mushroom: Removed duplicate information and apparently-erroneous mention of Harvests; Plasma Beams outrange everything but Battleships, so mentioning that they're shorter-range than Stingrays is more informative.

	The Abductor is a two-storey ship. The entrance on the first floor is in the middle of the ship, on the south side. This opens into an antechamber, which leads onto the [[Examination Room]]. Depending on skill level, there will be either 1-2 aliens or an entire firing line within these two rooms, the examination room can be a particular difficulty. If the UFO was shot down and its Power Sources exploded, the blasts will have created two alternate entrances on opposite sides of the UFO which results in the possibility of flanking the aliens holed up in the examination room if not bypassing the whole room altogether; if the hull is intact, the suggested location for a forced entry (read: making your own entrance with a [[Blaster Launcher]]) is directly opposite from the entrance as this minimizes the chance of the Power Sources' Elerium getting caught in the detonation.

	Through the Examination Room is the halfcircle-shaped engine room running along the ship's exterior. You may find an Engineer by either [[UFO Power Source]] on the east and west wings of the room. The western end of the engine room holds the ship's only gravlift; if you have the CE version and bring a Blaster Launcher here, watch the vertical waypoint bug or the misguided blaster bomb will hit the nearby wall and blow out a sizeable portion of the upper level's floor, making the level inaccessible without Flying Suits.
