Not really sure what the problem is.... when you say you can't control your ship, do you mean you can't actually fly it, or are you having troubles issuing commands and targetting problems?

Here's what I use, it's based on an old game called TIE Fighter which I played for years.... hell, I still play it and it came out in '92. It has a very fluid control scheme.... at least I think so. I'll go over the buttons I use most frequently:

Steering:

Mouse: Steer ship

Arrow keys: Roll ship

Targeting:

t: target next enemy ship

y: Target previous enemy ship

r: Target closest enemy ship

e: Target last enemy ship that hit player

a: Target nearest enemy player

,: Cycle target component forwards

.: Cycle target component backwards

u: Target next ship (any type)

;: Target closest friendly ship

c: Target closest capital ship/station

Other commands:

F5-F8: Droid commands

F1-F3: Bomberstrike commands

m: Match target's speed

d: Initiate docking sequence

h: Hyperspace

g: Weapon groups

v: Ship status
