The Hangar

I just noticed something while looking through some UFO pics...

 

How much cooler does the plan view of the hangar look than the in-game isometric view! ;)

Sometimes the small (Plan) view from the base facilities menu is a lot better than the Isometric view! The Plan view is normally more colorful and therfore more appealing to look at. But this is not always the case. A while back I made a list of which facilities look better in the Plan view and which look better in the Isometric view.

 

                       Plan View                         Isometric View

                  Hyperwave Decoder                      Grav Shield
                        Hangar                        Alien Containment
                     Access Lift                          Workshop
                     Mind Shield                          Laboratory
                    General Stores                        Large Radar
                    Living Quarters                       Small Radar
                    Missile Defenses                    Laser Defenses
                                                        Plasma Defenses
                                                        Fusion Defenses
                          TIE ------- Psionic Laboratory ----- TIE

 

I give the psionic laboratory a tie - orange in the Plan view, and blue in the Isometric view. Granted, this list is my opinion so yours will vary depending on taste. ;)

Actually, making a circle base in the middle of the hangar wouldn't be too difficult, since you must remember that the tile faces can be reused. It would still mean more new tiles, but it wouldn't be impossible. The only thing limiting this is the ... er, limited tileset used by the game.
