Hi.

On the battlescape, is the damage you make to the downed UFO via high explosive weapons (Plasma grenade, Blaster Launcher, etc) relative to the amout of alloys you receive? I mean, i was on a downed Scout mission, and an Outsider Navigator was hiding behind some weak UFO walls, then i decided to take them down with my Plasma Grenade, which worked and took out the shield ready to flank, but my real problem was if i'll get less alloys than normal just because i destroyed some part of the UFO.

Nope. I mean alloys and elerium salvage is calculated on shot down, prior to mission, so you cannot get less due to environmental damage. Therefore: go ahead blast walls at will, no mercy to aliens BUT: other salvage like computers, power sources, stasis tanks etc. will depend on actual damage.
