Interception Mission"What do you want to hear first, the good or the bad news? The good news is we’re having a serious impact on ET air operations. Incidents are down over the sponsors we're covering, and R&D's happy with the technology we've recovered. The bad news is ET high command has escalated operations by introducing dedicated fighter craft.
The ETs have set up combat air patrols (CAP) to directly counter both our own interceptors and national forces. UFOs tasked on interception missions will patrol the skies, striking at civilian and military aircraft. Data from the previous intercept suggests that ET fighters on CAP missions will make Xenonaut aircraft a priority. If ET interceptors spot our craft (most likely informed by ET satellites), they will head directly towards them and force a fight. Interceptors are the most likely type of UFO on CAP, so look for very small signals. Dropships will be especially easy targets, so I would recommend clearing out squadrons with interception missions first before tackling other craft to prevent accidents happening to the ground team."
