Ok I've got it.
After 2 days, and 4 new spaceships built, I finally found what I was looking for.
I kept overlooking the "Camera mode", setting. For some reason my brain didn't think it was what I was looking for. I've since given my brain a stern talking to, and hopefully we'll be able to put this behind us.
The "Blender" settings make me perfectly happy. That this software includes optional control schemes makes me very happy. Major kudos for this!
Besides solving my X, Y axis issues, it also fixed the pan control issue. MMB to initiate, but LMB to turn pan off was mind-blowingly anti-intuitive. I tried for 2 days to get used to it, but never could. The mode has to be a gag; I can't believe anyone would prefer it.
Other than that, this software is a breeze. Actually it's shocking how powerful it is. I had to get used to it's methodology. It was awkward at first but perfectly sensible after I got used to it. I've been able to hum along and getting great results.
I *do* still have a problem though, that I can't find on the net. I can't find how to snap/constrain a vertex to a plane/face. Also, "weld" has never worked once for me, so I've just been connecting->collapsing vertexes, then dealing with the cleanup.
I *have* discovered that I could crash the program at will, repeatedly, but that was yesterday. I was doing something the wrong way, and once I found the right way, no more crashes. Sadly, I don't remember what I was doing, so I can't submit a bug report.
Anywho, my original problem is resolved. Peace out.
