DUST Search - No lift (aerial troop transport)

So this one ticked me off enough to encourage me to make an account here and... well, help out, I guess. (yay?)

I spent all my skills and money learning not just to fly, but to decently tank one of those aerial troop transport jobbies (the caldari one), called in my first one, watched it fly in with a palpable sense of trepidation, and no small amount of dread that an enemy would pop out of nowhere without the hud giving me even an inkling of warning, which seems to happen a lot, but after what seemed like an eternity, my new toy finally hit the dirt in front of me.

So I hop in and hammer L1. The engines roar, and a massive cloud of dust swirls about my majestic bird as she... wait, she's still in the dirt. Okay, keep cool. I probably just derp'd on the vertical thrust control. Just systematically check each button on the controller - you were smart and called it in way behind our lines, you've got time. No. No. No. No. Not that one either. Nope. Uh-uh. Oh, crap, enemy. well, some guys jumped in, maybe they'll keep 'em off me until I can get it figured out. Haw, they're getting kills! Okay, focus. settings, controls... nope, definitely supposed to be L1. Maybe i'm stuck on this rock? No, I can spin in place, completely away from it.

OH GOD, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!! SWITCH TO A TURRE - oh, I'm dead. That's okay, it was a pretty tough cookie, at least, I'll just go back and -

- oh, look at that. THEY'RE FLYING MY MOTHER#!%&ING DROPSHIP AROUND LIKE IT AIN'T NO THANG! That's cool, I didn't want that 500,000 isk, anyway.

Want to play the game everyone else is playing, plzkthx.

This is literaly exactly what happened to me, I could not take off, but yet some other passenger who probably doesnt have a single point in dropships, steals off with my HALF A MILLION CREDIT DROPSHIP. I understand that this is beta, I do alot of beta testing. However I question why CvC is being given priority over something as basic as a WORKING CONTROL method. Lets not even get started on the playstation move issues.
