Rotatable Scanner Antenna

[Edymnion]

Really simple one.

Scanner antenna modules have a really nice texture on them, but they're static cubes that can't be rotated.

Switch 'em over to rotating so that we can lay them down horizontally for decorative purposes (they make great engine components), por favor?

Same with the conduit block.

They were rotatable in one version, but it messed up existing builds becaue they had random rotation suddenly, thus why they have "fixed" them back to non-rotatable

Correct. It was tried, same for jump modules and a few other blocks.

The problem is a bug allowed people to (often unknowingly) force a rotational state in adv. buildmode, but it would never actually show up, as the texture settings denied it.

When allowing them to be rotated, suddenly all these blocks placed at unknown rotations took effect resulting in ships everywhere looking "broken". This wasn't caught in our testing because not all blueprint creators would of replicated / abused the bug, nor would it show up on freshly placed blocks. The change was reverted until a solution could be worked.

Jump Drives can still be rotated.

Jump Drives can still be rotated.

Yup, I use jump drives and jump inhibitors as decorative items all the time.
