It's 50 for each intact power source. Therefore;

Small Scout        0
Medium Scout    50
Large Scout        50
Harvester           100
Abductor           100
Terror Ship        100
Battleship           200
Supply Ship        100

You get 200 from each base assault.

As for Zrbite, I'm afraid I don't have the data to hand (ie can't find it in
the strategy guide). The rule is the same, though - you can extract 50
Zrbite from each power source that's intact at the end of the mission. The
ornaments on the bottom floor of the Fleet Supply Cruiser (the ones with the
cube balanced on a stalk, that are arranged in front of the doors to the
small rooms) are worth extra Zrbite.

I believe the Colony and Synomium Site missions yield 200 Zrbite each,
although it's a couple of years since I played TFTD.

It depends on the number of alien power generators (or whatever
they're called).  You get 50 elerium per unit.  Small ships have 1,
the medium ships have 2, the large ships have 3 and the battlship has
4.  Bases can have from 1 to 4, iirc.

I'm not as sure about Zrbite for TFTD, but I think generally the ships
have more than UFO.  For instance, the Cruiser has 2.  I think it
follows the same general pattern otherwise.

If you shoot an elerium container with a big explosive the container may
explore ( mmm hmmm of course ), but if you zap it with a rifle you can
'break' it open and even pick up the elerium and carry it around ( strange
that it's not dangerous to carry it around ).  I played many years without
knowing I could commit this extra fun.

Yes, you can even do elerium raiding missions to alien bases, although
I think there's only one generator per base. Not really worth the risk
if it's a snakeman/chrysallid base...

The amount of times I used to get funny looks off the missus for doing just
that, then suddenly shrieking in fright when a chryssalid/tentaculat/etc
jumped out in front of one of my unit... ;)

I'm glad it's not just me.

My habit is of playing it very early in the morning - if I wake up at 04:30
I'll sneak through and play a couple of missions.  Charlie hears the "c'mon
you git!  Have some of this!  And some of that!  Mwahahahaha!" as it runs
towards my agent and gets taken down in a blaze of molten plasma! >:-)
