Well, yea. That is what that keyframe does, it launches the shuttle, turns it, opens its wings and makes it move. If you want it to do something different (or a portion of this), you are going to have to write your own keyframe. The format doesn't look to difficult, though. The keyframe you are using will be a good template to start from.
> at the end of my rope with this..theres something involved in the 'playkey' series of commands I'm not understanding.
No, it is nothing wrong with the playkey comand. You need to modify the keyframe itself.
> Could someone post a working keyframe cog for a shuttle opening its wings?
There are none done (to the best of my knowledge). There are no keyframe editors out. You will have to do it by hand with a text editor. Maybe you could post yours when/if you do it?
> also..anyone know if the xwing has a key for opened s-foils?
Don't know.
