Could you guys allow the player to position which way his base buildings face? Like the American triage center or the British HQ trucks where you click once to set it down and twice for which direction it faces. I just hate it when there's not enough space for all your buildings because they take up more space than they should. I don't think this will effect gameplay too much and I think another mod has something like this.

We could do that, but id have to see what the other devs think though
i remember in COH:O that they had such a system, where you could rotate the base buildings to make them fit better. It worked rather well i think.

This is a major issue with some of the older maps, and a lot of custom maps.
Since the PE came in (with buildings considerably larger than all other races), the need for larger starting areas became necessary. There are a good few maps that happen to have had this issue, and I'm sure that Relic fixed plenty of them, where the PE were completely unable to fit all of their buildings in their base area.
My point however is this: which maps have caused the issue? Surely it would be far easier to fix the base areas than adding a rotation mechanic?

Sorry, but I can't remember the exact maps. They were all maps created by custom mappers. I just looked at this other mod, http://www.moddb.com/mods/na1355827139, and I remembered all the time I had trouble putting buildings down.

A bit of thread necro. But I support this; it would go a long way towards fixing the building tetris issues so many PE players face, or all players on some of the older maps.

The Axis armies need to have this done as their buildings are a bit larger and there might have no space to fill all in - I support this as well.
