UFO Power Source
The UFO Power Source is one of the three UFO Components you must have on hand to manufactore a new ship. It is essentailly an engine, and uses Elerium-115 to propell a craft.
The UFO Power Source requires (?) man hours to build, $(?), and the materials Elerium-115 and Alien Alloys. You can also obtain them from Alien Bases, and UFOs. They can be sold for $(250,000).
Hint: Don't bother building them. Salvage them from landed alien craft.
With the exception of one UFO Power Source found in a certain Alien Base module, every UFO Power Source that is intact at the beginning of a mission will have an Elerium-115 item stored in, or more correctly on, it. If a UFO should crashland you will often find that the UFO Power Source(s) stored inside have exploded with great force; however, if they are destroyed during play, they will not detonate.
