Rapid Fire is going to take some tweaking, we did our best to think of all the possible options, but I expected that'd we would miss things and have to do more tweaking. I'll move the mothership core abilities shorty. (nice catch becuula) recall will be on K, photon overcharge will be on H, and time warp will be on I for PRM. Z will follow suit with priority. I don't think feedback can be cast on a unit with no energy, but I'll double check it (in the future you can always check yourself on a test map if you want to help)

Base cameras can be used for transfers, expanding, defending drops, shift clicking back to minerals, injecting, chronoboosting, and mule-ing. This is why we have centered cams. Setting them up in the beginning of the game does not take any additional actions as far as I've calculated before. Is there a key sequence that is faster than the current one?

New Right Click Abilities
these are very experimental. We're going to let them sit for a while and see if they're something players will get used to, or just something that will cause mistakes.

The Oracle having an unbound ability is NOT intentional. I don't know why this is happening, but it probably has something to do with the patch.

I see now, you hold Alt while setting base cameras. Which seems to be nice. And also pretty pointless to have it both center and set camera on one button in the first place. At least at the start of the game.
What about setting cams for the late game expansions? You press Alt and suddenly your screen shifts to whatever you had selected. A recipe for disaster.
Another thing: Autocast skills.
I . And i.

I also mentioned this a long time ago, it makes no sense and it gives no real advantage to have it center the camera, it has actually always been a nuissance that i automatically remove from every new version of the core, ( the center ability thats it).

I've been experimenting with also asigning the middle mouse button ( autoscroll) to alt (without center) so that i can just go middle mouse + cam to be able to insta create any base cam wherever i want anytime without the cam stupidly centering.

Way better! If you want to really have your base cameras exactly centered around a cc/nexus you just double tap and create the camera..

Double tap doesn't work with multiple buildings in the same CG, unfortunately.

Personally, I've mained all three races using TheCore and centering my town halls always benefited me at least a little bit. But honestly almost all of center on current selection's utility is for Zerg. So if you play Terran or Toss and you don't like it, just unbind it. You really won't miss out on much at all.

I don't know what to think about the middle mouse button thing, though. Can't you just bind Alt to Drag Scroll to get the same basic thing without external programs?

@Jak: About the reference sheets, what CG are Sentries suggested to go on? Am I wrong in believing that they're grouped with the rest of the Ranged units on semicolon/S? It just seems a bit odd to have Sentries and Void Rays in the same CG.

The drag scroll is a bit problematic in my experience as well. We'll probably be fixing it up in the next update. We wanted to give it a try before we discarded it as an option.

In your scenario, TheCore as it is takes an action off of recentering the camera. Because this is a very easily customizable aspect of TheCore (will not conflict with anything whether or not it is bound), I don't see a strong argument for taking away this utility away for personal preference.
