Only??? There are certasinly some good ones there, but what would we transport to a Solar Power Plant? The advertising is cool idea - with making your own ad, but probably just eye candy that would be fiddly to make. Wonders of the world is a good idea, but how about changing it to tourist attaractions? Cause that way they arn't so nation specific, yet they still function as you said they would. But otherwise, i love em!
Keep up the ideas! Most of them are really cool!

I agree. Perhaps someone should sum up all ideas on a webpage or in a word document, make a poll for every idea. Then we can make a list of features that will make it into the game.
Perhaps a database driven website... I'll look into that tonight when I'm at home.
Station improvement
can build hotels,retaurant,storage for cargo,refregirator storage
for fish , animal products etc,switching for trains,maintenace,
engine shop,postal mail,livestock pen,mall or market place,
obviously Train company owns it and builds it
Interesting idea. Probably splitting stations to warehouses/loading bays/terminals will do the trick.
Types of train
can have limited,express,commuter,special,cargo,etc
Not really needed unless we simulate all the traffic flow that exist currently (like commuters, long distance passangers etc).
Taxi
can have taxi service
what for?
Airport
can have international,domestic
Airport internationalization,having 5 to 9 runways
Domestic having 2 to 4 runways
taxi or shuttle for airport
See my idea for stations. Modular system for building airports will be useful here.
Flight
having Charted and Scheduled
Won't happen due to the timescale (what? fligth every sunday or smthn?)
Train
can train specialty like having trains for each country or region
special train can only be seen or have in specific region or country
This can be done if game will indeed be as open as possible. No additional code needed.
Train time
having Charted and Scheduled
See above
Fares
fares can altered ,modify,
Good idea. This will actually make competition between players and sole the "build, build, build" strategy of ttd.
Bridge
having 2nd to 3rd level,combination of highway and train
OK.
Skyway
elevated highway and also 2nd to 3rd level
what for? Cities will be relaitvely small so such object is not needed. But the idea for motorways is ok.
Elavated railways
like in Philipines,having elevated rails
I'm not sure what you mean...
Merger
merging or alliance ,having 1 or more transport without losing its own identity like in real life
Already doable in TTD ^^. Good one though
Stock market
having stock market buying your own treasury,bonds and other stocks
Maybe, but purely optional so the more engeenr type of players could play without worrying of the stocks.
Real transport war
war with service quality,fares and others
This goes under fares right? Otherwise what would tbe the point for changing them.
Exclusive
having bids for slots in airport ,service certain routes in trains etc
Subsidies are already in TTD...
Advertising
having TV monitor and edit your own ad for cities or region
Not really needed.
vel Agencies
comisioning them to give pasengers,mail,cargo
Interesting
Bank
having gold,silver,bronze,platnum,diamons,and other precious stones to be ship
With fully open game everything is possible to define...
Map
having large,small,medium,ultra large map
can see map for flight,train
Terminal
Terminal for train ,plane,bus,etc
Port
having many docks and crane like in ours
having 3 harbor in one city ,
International and Domestic harbor
Obvious things
Ships
having Supertanker,Refigerated,Bulk, etc
With fully open game....
Lighthouse
can have placed by computer or edit its place
Umm...
Subway
underground stations
ok
Industries
new industries such as car,chemical,abaka,copra,corn,fruits,iron,phospate,etc
with fully open game...
Oil
having own reserves for own vehicle
Interesting...
Oil Depot
aving in cities or other place
Dunno realyw hat do you mean...
Oil Rig
can have at sea in real life not oil rigs are in side of map
Game limits may not allow real "sea"
Depot
having some cargo stores and shift to station or terminal
see stations
Catchment Area
enlargement of it according to type like terminal should have 10 to 15 tiles , station 5-10 ,depot 1-4
Really good idea
City Growth
can have growth factor such as incread in food etc
interesting
Balance sheet
have detailed info o finances
Like it is not detailed already...
Manufacturing Plant
have it and supply raw materials
Factory
have it and supply raw materials
Umm, more details please...
Wonders of the world
can have World Trade Center,Pyramid of Egypt, Tower of London,Eiffel Tower ,Tokyo Tower
they are tourist spot,they catch many passenger etc
are already in simu (sort of...)
Power Plants
can have Solar,Hydro,Nuclear,Coal,Gas etc, can own it

Can someone make this sticky so no idiots will make new suggestions threads?
Not very nice, but true
Well, back to work, lot's of it in the near future
Whee, my topic is a sticky! Whoo! In followup of Shadows post, about waypoints:
What about making them signal boxes, that are placed like a 1 x 1 station, but they only have grass/snow/desert, rail and a signal box? That way it looks reaistic..

- Airports should be builded by towns and free for every transport company. There should be some option how to buy more passengers to your company at the airport.
- There should be civil traffic on the roads.
- How about light rail trains? Those whom dive uder the streets in midtown and gets up at the suburbs? Rails might be in a center of bigger street, thats nasty!
- The map should be much, much more bigger. This may help to get cities look like more realistic by size and by local traffic systems. Also population of town should be much more realistic.
- Maybe I don't have to mention, that the game should be playable over the internet.
But what's the one thing we should'nt forget: The spirit of Transport Tycoon must survive with the next version!!
the game MUST be playble over internet .... (maybe by GameSpyArcade)
anyway there should be road and traffic (so I agree)
maps will be bigger (engine created by rein supports maps to 2048 squares...ttd only 256 squares, but new engine will be created)
... airports ... maybe ... but I was thinking about custom airports ... not rectangle shape ... custom like:
Well, shadow, so far it sounds good. Almost ten times bigger map size sounds more than good, so let's hope this project will do what it is planned to do.

Having winter where you get a layer of snow and so on is not the same as building with giant mountains and permanent snow and permafrost and so on. The latter is a lot more challenging.
hmmm Ive been thinking about airports...
why not make it where you have 2 types runway short and long varius terminal buildins/facilities... assign item each a point value then make it to where you can build an airport with a base point value of x and combine different elements to build the airport.... as you rating increases so do the available points to be used for construction @ that airport...making improvments possible
Hmm, for a Solar Power Plant I suppose you could transport chemicals to it which they release into the atmosphere and make it always sunny.. heh. And passengers, for the people that work there and tour groups (school field trips, anyone?)
R/C/I... hmm, yeah... At beginning of the game, the zones could care less about pollution or noise, but as the game progresses they eventually get weary of both.. Residential most of all. (Residential is first to complain about noise/pollution levels, followed by Commercial, and then Industrial. Though Industrial has a lot of leeway.) Border zones could have buildings from either group... Residential areas have lots of homes that produce, say, 2 inter-city passengers for every 1 outbound passenger. They can have either 1 small airport or 1 heliport, but not both. Commercial zones can have 1 large airport and 2 small airports or 1 large airport and 2 heliports. Intercity bus stops can be on roads, and big ones can support up to 5 intercity buses but are like bus stops. Be careful of the average pollution and noise the buses make, or people will start to complain(lower your ratings, and therefore passengers). Outbound bus stops can support 10 buses but can only stop at outbound bus stops and generally can go faster than intercity buses. Intercity rail can connect to your larger rail network if you wish, but most people will object to the trains with loud whistles.. so there could be some intercity rail engines that could be used for outbound stuff if you really wanted to..
Multilevel bridges.. heheheh. You should see Portland, Oregon. I think it holds the record for most bridges in a city in the world. It's got multilevel bridges, curving bridges, multilevel curving bridges... the Steel Bridge has an intercity rail inbetween the roads.. there's even a causeway bridge with a three-way traffic intersection with a traffic light. Heh. There could be overpasses too.. basically one tile bridges.
maybe things like renting industries.
then you yearly pay an amount of money (untill you stop renting it) and get all the goods produced and cannot be taken away by others.
Like in simutrans? Cause, i really liked that feature!
