Issues with the ship landing on the surface of some planets

Hello.

There seems to be an issue with the ship when landing on specific planets, it fails to recognize the flatter surfaces and instead is "landing" mid-air near your SRV's location, as can be seen below:

You can tell the ship is in "landed" state since the SRV hangar door is deployed and the orange UI is shown under the ship.

I think that's normal. When your ship can't find somewhere to actually land it allows a midair pickup. Many of us have wished for a "hotdrop" as well.

Yeah it's weird. Sometimes it does that when presented with a tricky landing situation. (And other times it just gives up and dismisses itself.)

It didn't even try to find a suitable landing spot and there was one nearby (just had to move myself with SRV properly to "convince" it to land there). The ship just plopped mid-air above my SRV - and too far to even try to jump with the thrusters at it's bay in order to attempt a "hotdrop" pick-up.
