1. Airports: how is they constructed? by modules or fixed?
	- Modules.
	- Templates, that contain many modules but in a set pattern for easy use. Editable.
	- Once you've made a design, you could save it as a template.
	- Town airports: Town makes the template with players just taking up set terminal spots.
	- Large airports could have pre-set sections that can be built in the future, if required.

	Revote decided for "Who builds airports outside towns?". Decided the initial vote was wrong.

2. Docks
	- Large areas on side of water, dockland can be expanded, offering greater capacity of docks.
	- Each docking point can hold one ship at once.
	- All the points together make the whole stucture.

3. Research
	- From forums:
		3. Moderate control of what to research (can choose: locos)
		5. Gain new vehicles, tracks types, buildings etc earlier.
		6. Improve existing techs.

4. Signalling - Railway
	- Pre-signals to prevent blockages.
	- Allow signals to be reversed on a 2 way system, if one way is blocked.
	- System to split routes into different speed groups etc, for making cargo, high speed passenger routes.
	- Path based signalling.
	- Signals can only be placed between track pieces.   (possible)

   Signalling - Roads
	- Traffic lights not needed, let the game define right of way.
	- Using a FIFO queue if vehicles need to wait.
	- Road junctions can use a system that splits up the junction into 4, letting the vehicle go only if it's path is clear.

5. Finding routes and services
	- Needs more discussion.

6. Company rating
	- Global rating, town rating, industry rating, station rating. Each effecting each other slightly.
	- When your new in a town, you start with your global rating.
	- Global rating is a rough average of other ratings.
	- List of things that influence rating:
	    * The amount of transportation to/from a city
	    * Bribery
	    * Destroying trees
	    * Visiting a dock with a cruise ship
	    * Advertising
	    * Destroying of town buildings/roads
	    * Mass change of landscape
	- Things influenced by rating:
	    * The possibillity to build stations/tracks in a city
	    * The distribution of cargo among different transport companies (part of the transportation choice)
	    * Building on the local authority's ground.

7. Liveries
	- Needs vote between company colours and real life colours

8. Variable trains? (attach/detach locos and cars)
	- Dropped on forums.

9. Vehicle breakdowns
	- Needs summarising on forums and then vote.

10. Computer players
	- Have them.
	- Shouldn't cheat.

11. SI or not SI?
	- Allow choice by players
	- Use game units internally

12. Style
	- Allow new GUI skins but with a good default one.
	- Needs more discussion.
