when successfully cleaned ufo landing area (and capturing the ufo) it vanish if there is NO UFO hangar on base


* i suggest You keep the UFO landing site active for:

- possible recover UFO at later time after hangar is built
- allow leave soldiers there to guard against intruders
-- sending additional forces the site works same like normal landing
-- alien recovery team (trying rescue the ufo)
-- local state spec-ops units (trying capture the ufo for them-self)
--- ability to capture alive local spec-ops/spy/army/research units = trade theirs lives for $ or equipment

in overall there may be higher activity within area if UFO was left w/o any guarding soldiers

-- scouting ufos
-- recovery/repairing Alien party etc.)
-- local authorities may start theirs own on-site research (chance to capture more human equip/science staff(chance to convince them to work for You;) or even already get hands on some finished research etc)

similar scenario may be used for crashed/shootdown UFOs
- able recover more UFO equipment with bigger transport at later point of time

overall such change increases gameplay, variety of encounters and allows range of strategies what to do :)

it may sound complicated but most of needed features are already in game ...
