I don't know for all ufo types, but shooting terror ships over water will still get you a net +500 points.
Shooting down small ufos doesn't get you anything (or at least hardly noticeable, certainly less than 100 each, maybe 50).
Letting your base's defenses blow up a ufo doesn't influence your score either, whereas I got a few hundred points from shooting it down on its way to my base.
And indeed having a base in a country doesn't get you any points, but I wondered whether it helped reclaiming a country. I remember I'd built a base there, still without any detectors, radars or hangars, and kept attacking ufos like I'd always done... Surprisingly enough the next month that country started paying me again.
