Hi!
I suppose this is not the very best way to start, but that is truth. Normal, rts or fps are terrible for me. I suppose I have to get to it, but I would like that the battlefront.com group could implement something very "simple" Just orbit the camera in the unit selected (and attached to it in movement) and pan with middle or right mouse button. I am 3D artist and that is the way I always moved in 3D all my life (30 years working on it). If I had to use your camera options in 3Dstudio max, Blender or Maya, I would cut my veins XDDD.
In any case.. if you don't plan to modify anything. I would like you to give us the option to change mouse buttons options as we wish. For example mouse wheel for height or zoom... right mouse for pan or rotation.... control+mouse buttons for other thing... etc... Right now we cannot customize that area.
