It shouldn't be a problem if the tilting frames are optional... And it would indeed also be better if there'd be an option between 32 and 8 facings (and maybe even also 16 facings) for SHP units.
By the way... When making an SHP unit with a lot of facings, isn't it just reordering the frames after rendering them (if that's even necessary) which takes a lot of work (although FAFAIK the frames can be rendered in the exact order they need to be in)?

maybe even also 16 facings for SHP units.

This doesn't work as you need the 8 main directions and the remaining 8 frames can't be arranged to make a round rotation.
I think we let Hyper decide how and if he implements the 32 facings animated turret. He now knows for what and how it's needed so i think he can find a good solution.

@Machine: The upgrade stuff is a really great idea. Also the way you intend it to work seems extremely versatile. I hope Hyper can implement this.
I just wonder what would happen if you have a building with 1x1 foundation and then add a 3x3 upgrade on it. Though maybe the foundation could be ignored as soon as the game reads the upgrade logic.
