When shooting down ufo's, use the careful attack. That way you have the best chance that some of the ufo's engines will survive, especially when they have more than one. It makes a huge difference, so thanks to whoever mentioned that "trick" first in the thread!!
And the bigger the ufo, the more elerium it carries.
I must say this time I've got more elerium than I'll ever need. But then I only used some to build psi amps, some power suits for my best troops (the other get the lighter armour that doesn't need any elerium) and I've been using mostly laser rifles, even when I had enough heavy plasma clips. So basically I just need elerium to keep my Firestorms in the air.
And my Avengers, but those only come out to intercept the most dangerous ufo type. I still use Skyrangers for all missions except alien bases, as they don't require any elerium.
