	The underground room adjacent to the UFO door is restrictive for missile evasion and ~~lacking~~ suitable cover. Access to the upper levels is via a small cylindrical room with the grav-lift in the center. Aliens directly above, from multiple levels, may immediately retaliate.~~<br>~~		The underground room adjacent to the UFO door is restrictive for missile evasion and lacks suitable cover.<br>
	This central grav-lift allows access to all levels within the Battleship but if the surrounding floor is destroyed from explosives, it will severely limit agent movement unless flying.

	Oddity: This UFO uses 84 Disruptor Bomb Launchers positioned on the roof with a full load of 2688 bombs... but only uses one launcher at a time when fighting. Ammuntion is not stored in open areas as with other earlier UFOs which use missiles. The floor is highly resistant to explosives - the fuel supply detonating does not result in hull breech.<br>		Oddity: This UFO uses 84 Disruptor Bomb Launchers positioned on the roof with a full load of 2688 bombs... but only uses one launcher at a time when fighting.
