	In the tables below, the average value of each alien's armament is assumed to be about $180,000. The number of aliens found on each ship type varies; on higher difficulty settings, many more aliens will appear. In addition, on Terror Sites with Chryssalids the number of alien corpses could climb as high as 16 more if the max amount of civilians were turned to Zombies. This doesn't take into account X-COM soldiers which get turned either.		In the tables below, the average value of each alien's armament is assumed to be about $180,000.

	The below tables list dollar values of each ship. While this is the most easily quantifiable way of expressing a given ship's value, it can be misleading. Elerium is sufficiently valuable that you should probably always go after it whenever you can, and any undamaged ship from the medium scout up will contain pre-built components which you can later use to build your own craft. UFO salvage ideally should not be your main source of monetary income, because there are several items which you can [[manufacturing\|manufacture]] for a good profit. Instead, think of UFOs as providing Elerium, research items, and pre-made weapons and ship parts which you therefore don't need to spend the added time producing yourself. Capturing enough alien Leaders and Commanders, for instance, will mean that you will probably never need to construct blaster launchers or bombs at all, because they all carry them.
