what's wrong with pickup? If I follow the description properly, this
transport will stop most of the items on the ground being useful once
you are inside it anyway, so you could send as the ground view a
single item such as 'get off horse' 'dismount ship' (this requires a
new K-V (onboard name). Picking up this item should then dismount from
the transport.
