Explorer

General Information

Official Entry: "The first manned inter-dimensional vehicle produced for the initial exploration of Alien structures. The craft only has a small equipment and armament load and must conduct its excursions with great care."
Cityscape Information
The Explorer is the third X-COM ship that can travel to the Alien Dimension, with the design focus shifting to fighter aircraft. The Explorer is the lightweight of the X-COM combat aircraft.
The Explorer is identical to a Hawk Air Warrior in terms of armament, with hard points for a 2×3 forward weapon and a pair of 1×4 weapons on the sides. The Explorer has much more restrictive module space than a Hawk, having only 4×3 slots.
As with all X-COM interdimensional aircraft, the Explorer does not require fuel and can stay in the air indefinitely.
