deploying flagship can trap units under it+deforms land

[GoogleCodeExporter]

when deploying/morphing the flagship over units, they get trapped/stuck.
the flying depot can probally do this too but didnt test.

the flagshipbase also terraforms the land when it lands which can look 
strange in some cases.

It sure does.

Using an engineer to Restore the ground around the build pad is our only 
solution to this.  I think it's something we'll just have to deal with

for the land deforming:
the levelGround tag en/dis ables this.

levelGround=true: (now)
-deploying cruiser an be used to remove mountains
-ugly rectangluar shapes in landscape
-creates steps so that tanks sometimes can not drive away from the tankcruiser 
factory

levelGround=false:
-factories can clip into hills when deploying in bad terrain

ideally the morph gadget would check if you morphing is possible...

6) if the bflagship base builds a miner then a cruiser right after, the miner 
gets trapped by the nano frame of the cruiser

7) AA/Air/HQ balance is totally off

I'm not going to do anything about this, because there is no perfect solution.  
Engineers can restore ground to get their units out, and players need to pick 
appropriate places to land.

The only solution I would support for this is if after the player clicked the 
morph button, they could select the location of the base or whatever cruiser 
factory they are using, and then the cruiser flies there and deploys.  S44's 
machine gunners do this.

"S44's machine gunners do this."
i think no. the location thing you select in S44 after clicking deploy is the 
direction they will face.
But S44 seems to check for terrain and sometimes gives messages such as "blabla 
can not deploy here"

related issue:
you can morph your flagship over water and then get a underwaterbase.
