I'm making this issue to clear out the Alpha/Beta/1.0 roadmaps of stuff that should be dealt with separately to the main development of OpenApoc

This includes Quality of Life and other Enhancements that improve upon the original game implementation or Features that are so niche they have little effect on gameplay to all but veteran users and those looking for more of a challenge. Please comment below and i will update the list.

• Agents and Vehicles should be organised by parent base and then by vehicle name [UI Friendliness] Agents and Vehicles should be organised by Base then by Name #686 as well as further implementation of Vehicle/Agent sorting options
• Display, Object and UI scaling. This is rather critical for both allowing the game to run on hi-resolution displays but also to allow us to, ultimately, use higher res sprites and UI elements. UI Scaling for existing assets was added via Implements mouse input scaling, auto screen scaling option #1040 . There is still work to be done for Object scaling (for example being able to have 8x OG resolution object sprites displayed correctly within a tile for the specified resolution, even if the sprite natively exceeds it)
• Put the maximum number of vehicles in a raid variable out to modding Maximum number of vehicles in a raid should be as per OG and opened up to modding #999
• Make it possible to produce an "infinite" number of items in the workshop and add an "Auto-Sell" button similar to the one present in OpenXCOM
• Alien eggs/Chrysalis don't appear to hatch after some time and spawn new units (Battlescape) - they need to (even if there is rarely a mission long enough for it to coincide with the time they would otherwise spawn in cityscape) [MOVED FROM ISSUE TO HAVE A TRULY PLAYABLE ALPHA STATE #1: #263, see also issue Alien eggs/Chrysalis don't appear to hatch after some time and spawn new units (Battlescape)  #935 ]
• In with the above, ensure that alien life-cycle, as described in the UFOPedia, is working both in Cityscape and Battlescape, with aliens growing and progressing through the chain of lifeforms until killed or expiring naturally
• Improvements to building security, gangs and militia to separate them as a faction from unarmed civilians. This means giving them a turn in TB mode and a separate set of objectives, based on parent organisation relations to other parties present, within Real Time and Turn Based Modes. Please see [feature request] Give more realistic behavior to Civilians on Battlescape (Militia/Guards) #864 for further details.
• Implement a new Close Quarter Combat and Melee System instead of Melee being entirely comprised of ranged weapons with a 1-tile range
• Update Original Game Sprites and Codebase to support Organisation Specific Coloured Vehicles. This is going to require quite a bit of work but would aid in immediate visual detection of who is who in a fight or other Cityscape Action. See issue Organisation specific colored vehicles #774
• Add a system for limiting vehicle modules to unguided/guided/either weapons based on the presence of in the weapon XML Vehicle Weapon Types for Slots Request - Modding #1035
• Add a "Gas Weight" and "Gas Density" value to all gaseous damage types to affect spread of the gas up/down tiles and which gasses displace other gasses (replacing the overall tile gas effect). This would be a drastic improvement over the simple tiered approach of smoke replaces stun and similar in original game as modders could specify how gases work and spread.
• Add the option for different scaling factors of UI and Assets between the Cityscape and Battlescape parts of the game (Suggestion from Forums, https://openapoc.org/forum/threads/feature-request-different-resolutions-for-cityscape-and-battlescape.330/ )
