Behold, Buck Rogers' Starfighter ! :D

There is a mysterious object recovered. It's analyzed and repaired. It's a one-off fighter. It's yours !
It's a 1-pilot 1-passenger craft that can hold its own against most UFOs, and has a fair chance of survival against a Battleship.
Not as powerful as the Ultimate Craft in XCF but close enough to last until the end of the campaign. And can use beam weapons fairly early on.
I believe the events and research reports parts work as intended.
Comments are appreciated.
EDIT: Improved pathing around craft.
