	Plasma Cannons are the most effective solution to removing UFO threats from the sky. It has long range, decent fire rate, and high armor penetration.

	===EMP Cannon===		===[[EMP Cannon (EU2012)\|EMP Cannon]]===
	The EMP cannon is a perfect weapon for retrieving the maximum amount of supplies from downed Alien craft. Short range, but powerful enough that you won't mind. When using this weapon on ships, expect to encounter all its crew since the ship is mostly intact. Available to Engineer by completing the "New Fighter Craft" research tree, then the EMP Cannon research itself.

	The Fusion Lance is the most powerful weapon that can be equipped on the Firestorm, and only the Firestorm. This weapon is capable of dealing out massive damage from a long range. While its fire rate is slow, each hit blasts through armor easily. Available to research after downing a Battleship and recovering it's Fusion Cores (note that their construction material cost doesn't ''include'' a Core: you can build as many you want as long as you have the Elerium, alloys and money. The cores are only necessary for the construction of it's sister project, the Blaster Launcher).

	One time use when interceptors are in combat with UFOs. Provides a temporary boost to interceptor's speed when pursuing UFOs. This raises your engagement time with any UFO encountered granting you a higher probability of taking down the large UFOs. In practice, this stops the countdown timer for five seconds, giving you a bit more time to shoot down the UFO. Also reduces approach time for close-range weapons (Phoenix, Laser, EMP).

	Naturally, researching for a Firestorm is a priority (in any order, both "Alien Navigation Computer" and the "UFO Power Source", then "New Fighter Craft"), and you should hoard recovered NavComps (though you may want to use two of them early on for a Satellite Nexus) and Power Sources away from Grey Market or Council sales until you have at least 1 Firestorm for each continent. You need 2 navcomps and 1 power source per Firestorm, and are more likely to have a surplus of the computers, so you may risk selling them, especially if you reach, say, a 10 comp 5 power source quota (or however many left to put a Firestorm on each continent). Note that Firestorms will always be built on your Home Base, so plus the Interceptor you should always have there, that mean you can only build 3 at a time (or, spend up to two weeks without an interceptor over your base. Obviously, a bad idea), and that it is also another 3 days to transfer, and one more day to give it the latest weapon. The best way to get Firestorms out to each continent without gimping yourself at home is usually to first get Plasma Cannons. Then, put two Ravens at your home base with Plasma Cannons and order two Firestorms. These two Plasma Cannon equipped Interceptors should be enough to bring down anything that comes your way while you wait for the Firestorms. Equip your first two Firestorms with whatever weapon suits your fancy (Plasma Cannons, EMP Cannons or Fusion Lances). Once they're ready, move the two Interceptors elsewhere, along with one of your new Firestorms, leaving your other one at home. Build three more Firestorms. Equip them and send them out. Provided you have enough materials, this can get you one Firestorm on each Continent with whatever weapon you so desire in 33 days:		Naturally, researching for a Firestorm is a priority (in any order, both "Alien Navigation Computer" and the "UFO Power Source", then "New Fighter Craft"), and you should hoard recovered NavComps (though you may want to use two of them early on for a Satellite Nexus) and Power Sources away from Grey Market or Council sales until you have at least 1 Firestorm for each continent.
