are trying to view or actually turn the ship around?  for viewing hold the scroll button to move the view.  To rotate the ship choose the first part and rotate it  the rest of the attached parts will follow.

Nope, I am still not getting it. Is there no simple way to get a top view, bottom view, rear view and head on. without manipulating the red, green, blue, rotating rings? 

When I use the rotate rings I am not rotating the entire ship, just the wings, engine or some other part. I can't seem to select the whole ship.

Very frustrating.

ouch

I still have not been able to use the designer to rotate the ship left and right or to raise or lower the nose or tail to see to position items. For some reason, the standard method the of the players are using just doesn't work. IU haven't programed any buttons, and am using a new microsft wireless mouse and keyboard.

These will be coming back. Just not hooked up yet.

There is allot of polish we still have planned.  For selection etc. Hopefully we will be able to address most of your concerns.

Nope, even holding down the scroll wheel doesn't work for me. Guess I'll have to swap in a different mouse when I play this game. That is ridiculous.

 I've found it best to scroll the ship away from you, then hold the scroll wheel down while moving the mouse. It seems to work better then when the ship is up close. Get the position you want then scroll the ship back up for close detail,

Which types/brands of mice are not working properly? Also have any of the keys been reprogrammed on the mice?

My mouse that didn't work was an Anker Gaming Mouse and yes the center button had been programed to refresh. I tried to de-program the center button but had no success. I probably could have figured it out but I just changed to a Logitech wireless and it works great.
