Description
The Interstellar Starfighter is the longest UFO ship and the most complicated. The front of the ship is a flying saucer, while the back is a half saucer. The front portion has room for one pilot, as well as a few control panels and a box. The windshield is a large half-saucer. The front of the ship has a pair of lasers and a pair of thrusters. There are some light bricks directly behind the pilot. They connect to the fiber-optic light system. The light system goes through a pair of transparent printed plates, terminating in some pieces behind them. Behind all of this is the wings, which are both V-shaped. The wings have magnets on the top of them and all wings have thrusters and lasers on them.
The magnets allow the vehicle to connect to a secondary ship, which is a half-saucer. The half saucer has a removable laser, room for a pilot, and magnets to connect to the main vehicle.
