Not sure if it has been brought up already, didn't find anything after a quick search.
It is really annoying and can be quite disorientating when you are waiting to spawn in and you are looking around then you spawn facing a completely different direction.
I think it would be much better to have the spawn direction unlocked as it is with aliens going through evolution.

Sometimes I do, and sometimes I spawn facing the completely opposite direction. It can be really annoying especially if there is a skulk sitting there attacking the spawn portal and I'm looking straight at it but then I spawn flipped around and the skulk gets 1-2 hits on me before I can even find it again.

<u>YES. Please fix this. Have players spawn pointing IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ACTION</u>. It's annoying to spawn in an egg or IP and start running off towards the dead end bottom of your base, when you assume that it will place you facing in the direction of at least one of the open pathways in whatever room you're in. <b>Even pointing in the direction of the most active commander/team activity would be simple to program, I can imagine</b>.
This should have been implemented without having to ask for it. It's part of design (at least good design) - its intuitive and it works, and it should be there without having to think about it. Having to complain about it exposes the lack of thought put into this particular detail.
A fix for this issue would be really helpful for those of us effected by this.
I believe the commander is also able to lock the direction, and maybe that option is the problem.

sunk thread is now sunk,,,
ALTHOUGH I do occasionally end up spawning looking directly up... tough bug but it's known.
I have a confirmation that it's an NS2+ mod issue and not the game itself. Sorry for disturblng you all.
Another issue (which fits the thread name though) is the initial game-start spawn when you look directly down. It wasn't fixed at least on Linux and it's a well known bug.
