			:Are we sure about this? Because my experience has been that Small Scouts (which have the highest Acceleration value but lowest maximum speed) get away much faster than anything bigger (this is part of why they're so hard to shoot down without destroying them; an Interceptor with Stingrays won't be able to close before the Small Scout starts escaping). My interpretation of that is that the game keeps a "UFO speed" variable that starts at the Geoscape value and rises at a rate proportional to the Acceleration value until it exceeds the X-Com craft's maximum speed (that's when "UFO OUTRUNNING INTERCEPTOR" comes up and it starts getting away) or caps out. But that's a supposition, not based on a code dig. So a) is it actually confirmed that Acceleration doesn't do anything, b) if Acceleration indeed doesn't do anything, then why do Small Scouts escape so much faster than Medium/Large Scouts?

	: I'm pretty sure it does. Once I tested using an Avenger vs a Battleship which was in a retaliation mission. I let the Avenger attack, and then withdraw after inflicting some damage and let the UFO get to a X-COM base. It took less defence hits than usual to destroy the battleship (IIRC, it was destroyed after 1 or 2 hits. The first being impossible without retaining damage, the second being very unlikely).

	Yes. There is an entry in CRAFT.DAT that tracks the crafts current damage level. When this level reaches or exceeds 1/2 of the UFO's total hull points the UFO will crash or the craft is destroyed if the amount reaches or exceeds ~~the craft's~~ total hull points.-[[User:Morgan525\|Tycho]] ([[User talk:Morgan525\|talk]]) 07:56, 23 June 2015 (EDT)		Yes.
