XCOMTurcocalypse:
Cheaper unmanned outpost idea is excellent, especially for radars, but I am yet to understand WHY I have to keep a UFO in a remote hangar built seperately or must sell it to other governments.

We are in 21st century and still haven't found a way to put a wreck in a hangar that does not need seperate monitoring or even just stick it in a warehouse for later study? VERY silly if you ask me.

-Sir, we downed an UFO!
-Splendid, have it hauled to the base and see what we can do.
-But sir, we do not have a UFO hangar!We must cut back our maximum radar buildings and build one!
-Else what? Can't we just put it on a truck and tarmac-
-There are governments that want to buy it sir, for the price of a dozen machine guns.
-Bollocks.

PurpleCaterpillar:
Good point, but (IMO) only while the disassembly times are so long.
I believe that would be changed in the future, when addressing other game balance issues.
Even with the current long disassembly times, I still have enough antimatter for whatever I need.
On the other hand, 90% of my engineers are working on disassembling UFOs, and there isn't a single engineer who's left unhired.
So my example is probably not the best.

BTW, your post really made me laugh.  =)
Thanks for that!

You put it in some barely guarded hangar, and you're asking for...

Brat 1: Hey, there's alien wreck here...cool.
Brat 2: Let's take something home...
Brat 1: Hey, there's something still working here
Brat 2: Lemme see...*crack*

*Antimatter explosion*

In 2080's, there are no military bases or guarded buildings around the world?

Destructavator:
Please keep in mind the sheer SIZE of some of the UFOs - Many are rather gigantic and simply won't fit on a truck or other common vehicle.  Just look at some of the mission maps for the larger UFOs.  Some are nearly as large as a small Phalanx base, and many are larger than the Phalanx craft and simply won't fit in a hanger.
