A while back I added an arrow to indicate the current direction of a craft when choosing a deployment or move target. However, for a few craft these arrows pointed in the wrong direction. This occurred for craft that did not have the usual 3 o'clock default orientation, and instead faced 12 o'clock in order to obtain different craft shapes. For example, the Falconcraft had a 12 o'clock orientation so that its shape could be long and skinny:
I have decided to change the craft with the 12 o'clock orientation to use the 3 o'clock orientation (there were only three to change: the Falconcraft, Twin Turrets, and Gatling Fighter). In my opinion, it is difficult enough to try and form strategy when thinking about six distinct directions (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 o'clock), without having another class of craft that using six more distinct directions (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 o'clock). As a side benefit, this change also fixed the incorrect arrow directions for these units.
Pictured below is the Falconcraft in its new 3 o'clock configuration:
More soon!
