This list is subject to change

• Core functionality
  • Pathfinding
    • A* implementation
    • FlowField implementation
  • Unit Selection mechanic
  • Steering behaviors for regular units with 2D movement
  • Steering behaviors for 3D objects, such as spaceships and/or planes
• Networking
  • Ability to host/connect to games
  • Player connect/disconnect behavior
  • Ability to kick players as host
  • Server list to browse games to connect to
  • Manage connecting players (kick on join if the game's already starting/running, no spectators)
• City builder module
• "Classic" RTS module
• 3D RTS module (inspired by Homeworld)
• 4X module
  • Random map generation
  • Map synchronization between server and clients
    • Initial map state synchronization
  • Configurable map generation (ex. star density, map size)
  • Map generation config "presets" accessible from pre-game UI
  • Fleet battles
    • Connect to 3D RTS module
      • Initialize battle from colliding 4X fleets
        • Pass fleet data (ships, fleet stat modifiers) to populate the RTS field
        • Pass post-battle data back to 4X module (win/loss, unit count changes)
  • Connect to City builder/Classic RTS module
    • Load city associated to given star on specific input
    • Aggregate data from cities/planets (summed income/min, average "happiness", research progression speed, etc.)
    • Pass appropriate data (ground units) on fleet-planet "collision"
    • Pass post-battle data back to 4X module
    • Handle ownership changes (diplomacy/post-battle)
