Change in landing method

I was outside the other day and heard a jet plane in the sky. I looked up and saw it was landing at the local airport. It was not doing a nose dive. It was horizontal. Decreasing in altitude. Why can't you make our ships land that way?
The stick moves from the center position to a maximum forward position. From the center position to half way forward the ship flies in a horizontal position. From half way to all the way forward the ship can go into a nose dive. That would be much better than doing a nose dive.
Also can you fix the scarab steering? When driving the scarab at a speed greater that 10 the steering is very wild. Especially when being shot at. Speaking of being shot at why are there so many hostile bases?
Thanks

What we do is reentry if I'm not mistaken. Save the pitch up maneuvers for when we get atmospheric landings.....i hope one day.

Actually the current ships have gear for VTOL. We'd need wheels but that would be an interesting form of game play to have to come in for a runway landing in one of the big three and have to deal with speed, Angle of desent, weather, visibility. Wow!

I don land my ships the same way as a real word aircraft, long shallow decent with a flare and vertical drop at the end.
