__NOTOC__
* [[Unused Game Features (Apocalypse)]] - done but splitted and moved to 2 topics
 
* '''Cleanup:'''
 
** [[Unused_Game_Features_(Apocalypse)]]
 
** [[Cut_items_and_features_(Apocalypse)]]
 
** [[Cut_mechanics_and_behavior_(Apocalypse)]]<br>
 
seem to be repeating stuff word-for-word, quite redundant.<br>
 
: This is correct - I think there should be two pages, one for unused features and items (e.g. graphics, items, units, data), the other for cut mechanics and behaviour (unused skills such as interrogation, unused AI behaviour, and cut mechanics like spying/tracking).

* REDO: Explain more the [[Controls (Apocalypse)]] section. The intro with the basic commands is a bit 'over-the-top'. The chart is also a mess!
 
* Where do hostiles got when given a base with all facilities and no technical personel? Which room do they want, and what do they do there?
 
* <s>More ground and aerial tactics on both the [[Tactics (Apocalypse)]] and [[Alien Ship Combat (Apocalypse)]] pages.</s>
 
* Rewrite individual pages for each alien race to keep them NPOV (neutral point of view) ??? They seem alright [[User:EsTeR|EsTeR]] ([[User talk:EsTeR|talk]])

==Probably changes to boxed text==
+
* Turn-based page needs in-fill from someone who uses it. <s>Real-Time page is done.</s>
* <s>move official text of all xcom equipment to top of page and put it in its box</s> and then note that is it from ufopeda, eg:<br>
+
* <s>Overspawn walks thru some, demolishes others. List which is which. Add solution to Apoc'd Edits page.</s>
:"In-game Ufopedia:" (or ''peadia'' something), or<br>
+
* <s>Weapon damage types icons added to [[Damage_Modifiers_(Apocalypse)|Damage]] page.</s>
:"Ufopedia:"<br>
+
* <s>Armor page four into one - forgot to list this one, but now its done.</s>
...but not using the <nowiki>{{Ref Open}} or {{Ref Close | source = X-COM Apocalypse Ufopedia}}</nowiki> commands since it limits the side-by-side format AND becuase is pushes the other text downwards (further down the larger the pic).<br>
+
* Buildings: combat tactics and general building interesting features text In-fill to each [[Buildings_(Apocalypse)|building page]].
 +
* Better pics of various plant growths which have an effect of some sort. New pics of all with black background.

 +
* Agent Equipment: "UFOpaedia pic + Reticulan fonts" of weapons and ammunition.

* <s>Agent Equipment: icon pics of weapons using yellow background. Shows easy comparable scale of item.</s>
 +
* <s>Cut Content page: go thru and removed repetative mention of <text in-game: none> and debug also etc. after the equip listing.</s>
 +
* Use [[Utilities_(Apocalypse)|XME]] to go thru all battlescape segments and list which ones are never used, then add to Cut Content page
 +
* <s>Alien Ship Technology: Propulsion, Energy, Control pages need alot of work finishing. Better pics</s>
 +
* Base Locations: add percentage frequency to each layout shown, of getting a particular building for each difficulty.
 +
* Better pics (black background + resize 200%) all unit 360deg. collage
 +
* Cityscape and Tactical pages: pics with pink arrows and boxed text pointing to buttons could use a more thorough explaination.
  
==Boxed Text==
 
I can get the ref box thing to work with taking up half the damn screen!<br>
 
I think the better option would be to put the ''source'' text at the end of the official text ie:
 
  
From this:
+
[[Category: Apocalypse]]
A low powered road engine for bikes and small vehicles.
 
 
 
To this:
 
A low powered road engine for bikes and small vehicles.  ''From: Apcocalypse Ufopaedia''
 
 
 
The format: italics to denote that it is not part of the text, double-space after the official text, no period at end.
 
[[User:EsTeR|EsTeR]] ([[User talk:EsTeR|talk]])
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
* Rewrite Bio,Quan,Eng pages to include salary ...at least!
 
* The engineering chart is a bit naff probably too much crap in it.
 
 
 
====Base Defence Funds====
 
* Funds stolen from your own base defense mission! Causes??
 
** why do some defense missions lose money and others don't?
 
** is it because of a certain organisation?
 
** or damage to concrete walls?
 
** due to security station damage? (note: had whole rooms destroyed but no money lost!)
 
* if not facility damage:
 
** is money loss one big negative decrease at a certain trigger, once only?, or
 
** linear counter drops xcom funds as time progresses after trigger activation?
 
** money lost is repair cost for damage to other facilities, disregarding empty corridors and sec. stations?
