	The '''Firestorm''' is X-COM's first attempt to engineer a new fighter craft based off of Alien technology. It is a dedicated Interceptor and is intended as a replacement for the [[Interceptor (Hardmode) \|Interceptor]]/[[Retaliator]]. It can be researched following the discovery of [[Research (Hardmode) \|UFO Construction]], it requires the interrogation of an alien Engineer and Navigator.

	The Firestorm is almost identical to its [[Firestorm \|~~vanillia~~]] counterpart. However this version has a significantly larger fuel capacity, which can allow it to operate in the skies for a much longer period of time. Do be aware that this craft requires elerium for its fuel.

	With over double the health and twice the speed over the [[Retaliator (Hardmode) \|Retaliator]], this craft represents a significant boost in survivability and movement speed over Earth made craft. The craft lacks the health of the successor [[Thunder]] or the [[Avenger (Hardmode) \|Avenger]], however it is a cheaper craft to construct in terms of materials such as alien alloys, and it also features two weapon pods, that which the Thunder lacks. The high monetary cost of the Firestorm may present a financial roadblock to the proliferation of the Firestorm, but this craft excels in reliably intercepting the majority of enemy UFOs.

	Due to its rapid consumption of elerium, this craft is not well suited for patrol duties or for shadowing an enemy UFO for an extended period of time. This craft is best only deployed if you absolutly intend to intercept and down an enemy UFO. Traditional Earth made Interceptors may prove more reliable if you intend to patrol for enemy UFOs or shadow them.
