X-COM: Interceptor

X-COM: Interceptor is a representative of the series, transferring the action to outer space. Control is carried out through base space stations, the first of which is installed automatically. The location is determined by the storyline. Subsequently, the player can improve the design, adding new equipment, compartments and weapons. Development takes place in between alien attacks, which must be repelled using the available arsenal. X-COM: Interceptor gameplay offers:

• Reworked leveling system. All research is conducted on Earth, which eliminates the need to hire scientists. To transfer developments, it is necessary to add hyperreceivers (up to 3 per station).
• Updated resource extraction. To build ships, you no longer need to accumulate a whole list of materials. The main thing is to have the required amount of money.
• Personal file. When hiring pilots (exclusively people), the player can familiarize himself with the personal dossier.

Reconnaissance of the surrounding space is carried out using probes. They are disposable and can be launched from a base in space equipped with an appropriate launcher. After delivery to the selected point of the accessible universe, the scout takes up a position and transmits data while the energy charge lasts. Aliens can come across similar technologies, not only of a research nature, but also equipped with a noise generator.
