Thanks everyone! Your advice was really helpful, but I just seem to lack the piloting skills to perform the necessary maneuvers. So, after about 10 failed tries, I decided to simply land a new building and transfer everything from the old one. Which I did, landing not far from the original location.

Thanks jimmymcgoochie, I'll try adding RCS to my shuttle. It's fairly small, even with cargo attached to it, so I hope I'll be able to do as you suggested. Maybe even move the base out of a crater, if I successfully dock with it.

I was hoping to avoid mods altogether, not just big ones. But thanks, I'll think about it. Didn't want to use engines, as even the lightest LF tank available to me, with engine, is heavier than RCS system (thrusters + monopropellant tanks). Also, RCS thrusters can be mounted on the sides and don't produce heat, which is crucial when hovering over a building. I use a special ship to land things on the Mun, detach them and go back to Kerbin (hence the docking port on the building). Compared to a drone, it's rather large, so I managed to place two engines pointing at about 45 degrees instead of directly down, so the attachments don't get heated. With a drone, I'm afraid, that would not be possible.

I also asked this in a very old thread I found here, thus the name of the thread. Is it possible to do actual pinpoint landings, like, land exactly on top of a building (without using any mods)? I forgot to attach batteries and an antenna to a Mun base and was trying to dock them on top of it (yep, it has a docking port), but the best I can do is land within 100 m radius of my base. Tried a "drone" on RCS, but it lacked power to fly. Fuel isn't really a problem, but how do I actually land on top of a docking port? Alternatively, what RCS thrusters can be used to make a capabale of Mun flight drone consisting of: one Probodobodyne OKTO, one HG-5 High Gain Antenna, three Z-1k Rechargeable Battery Banks, one or two Stratus-V Roundified Monopropellant Tank(s) and one Clamp-O-Tron Jr. ?
