Hi,
Phalanx dropship and UFOs on autogenerated maps always face in the same direction (same goes for the houses and other scenery).

It would be nice if the map layouter could turn those things randomly by multiples of 90 degrees. This could add more variation to the maps.

this has been suggested quite a lot. mattn noted that, while possibly doable, random rotation on assembly would require compiling of 4 lightmaps instead of 1 (thus increasing map compile time a lot...).

while for some tiles rotating manually and creating another tile from that would be possible, such an action would also increase map compile time. doable, but i guess must be discussed in detail :)

As richlv said. This isn't going to happen, in all probability. Therefore, this FR is now closed.
