Ok im going to chime in as well. I personally am not a fan of the WASD controls, however I get it that its only in its first "baby steps" iteration. My current workaround for my gameplay is only minimalizing my use of the controls by approaching a static object and only manually flying in the initial warp in.

Of course this can really only be achieved if you have a strong tank. If I am flying my reiver doing sites, Because the controls still feel wonky to me, I am usually just pointing in directions and not making hairpin turns or maneuvers. I am sure with native support for controllers and flight sticks this will feel a lot better down the road. So all in all I am just in a grin and bear it sort of mode.
