hi...
maybe i'm the only one with this issue but basically i can't seem to rotate the camera.... i know you have to press the middle mouse button... but my mouse is this wireless microsoft one... and it has a smooth mouse wheel... meaning it doesn't "click" so it makes it extremely difficult to press down without rotating the wheel... everytime i try to press it it minimizes the game and then restores it to full screen.... (weird...) the mouse has two other buttons and i tried to re-assign them in the mouse setup program but that doesn't seem to work....
So is there any other way to rotate the camera without using the middle mouse button... i.e. hold down CTRL or some other key while i hold down the Left Mouse Button... or just some other key on the keyboard.... you've assigned the + / - keys to zoom in and out maybe you can assign another couple of keys to rotate....
and one other camera suggestion..... if you could make the option of assigning the Arrow Keys as an addition camera control that would be great.... most other strategy games i've played use the arrow keys to move the camera (in addition to the side scrolling and or pull dragging).... it would make it really nice to fly the camera around with my left hand and point and click with my right.... at the moment the arrow keys are assigned to movement.... but since it's so much more precise to right click on the exact square it makes the arrow keys useless.... as well as annoying when i accidently hit those keys out of habit and my ship takes off... so if you had an option to Bind Keys to other functions that would be great....
otherwise i'm really enjoying the game so far...looks GREAT... sounds GREAT...lots of sleepless nights ahead....
thank you so much...
