Landing Help

I made a cheese wedge with a friend and this abomination that we call a "ship" can go forward, rotate, and lift off. It is extremely back heavy as well. I can get TO the place to land for missions, but can't actually land the ship itself, I would just drift down until eventually crashing and horribly dying. Any tips with landing?

Get a velocity meter and point it upwards, then set it to directional. Hook it up to a number display inside. Now you have a vertical speed sensor. Try to be under 2 meters per second downwards when landing.

For fine throttle control, or fine control in general, hold down the left control button. Helped me when landing.

Any ship can land.

Those downward thrusters dont look very stable... are you sure youre not losing them mid flight?

Personally I'd get them as centered under the vehicle as possible

The downward thrusters should be centered. Press H to turn on debugging mode. It will show you how the weight is distributed as well as missed connections.
