Describe UFOs Discovery

Depending on how many bases and radars you have, you will detect UFO's in different parts of the planet. Once detected you can learn how many aliens are on the ship and the class of ship it is.

As the game progresses the type of alien crafts become more and more powerful so start building more powerful interceptors, and researching/building add on's to your crafts early on the game. Also, it is a good idea to save the gave before leaving the base for an interception mission. It is hard to recover if the aliens shoot your best craft. It might take 10 or more days to build another one, by which time all the countries will have already very low confidence on you and the game will be over.

Notice that different crafts have different protection, speed, and so on. Some are easily shoot down with missiles, other with laser type weapons. Play accordingly, don't worry about the name of the craft but about the type.
