I installed the game on my 8 year old son's computer, since he liked watching Dad create cool spaceships.  He actually has a pretty good rig,  but I am unable to use the depressed mousewheel button to allow for rotation of the image during shipbuilding (or even to rotate the map).  He has essentially the same mouse I do (Logitech MX 510) which works fine othrwise and in other programs.  The scrolling function also works fine.
Without rotation capability, we can't build ships.  Ideas?
