Since no one has mentioned it yet, I hope some skilled soul will soon attempt a Save Game Editor. While I agree that resource management is a critical game element of XCOM, I would argue that the scarce resources should be 'alien elements' and that the player should get enough cash to get at least 3-4 satellites up in the first month. To put it another way, XCOM should have a budget greater than the 'UN party budget'. Being an old 'Hex Hacker' from way back, one of the first things that I did was to take a look at the internal structure of the save game files.

The save editor supports game saves during missions, but it has limited support (it only changes the attributes of one deployed soldier, rather than all soldiers). Use Horizon to extract the game save. Use fairchild’s xcom compression tool to decompress the game save. Sample command line: xcom.exe -d save1 save1.decompressed. Nov 16, 2013  I know some very cool things where done on the last instalment of Xcom Enemy Unknown, I think Mr DJWeed now Byto did some very cool things just wondered if anyone was going to be working on any Editors or possible iso mods, I'm sure trainers will be out soon but I'd like to see more of what we got on Enemy Unknown on Enemy Within.

To me it appears that the save game files consist of 'text' header and trailer sections with a middle section of compressed data using some 'custom' compression algorithm. It also appears that the save game file includes some form of hash error sum checking. While I was able to locate some values (cash, alloy, elerium, etc), any change would result in XCOM giving a 'corrupted file' error message when attempting to load the edited game file. But if I went back and edited the change back to the original value, that particular save game became loadable again. It will take someone way more skilled and experienced then I am to make an XCOM-UE save game editor. Here is hoping that such a person appears sometime soon!
