Another option is to raise the thrust vector above the center of mass, basically creating a front-accelerated rocket. This can be easily done with radial engines, just put them at the highest point possible. While a front-pushed rocket can theoretically still rotate if the mass of it's 'tail' swings about, it will be a lot more stable than a back-pushed rocket. Only downside: you might burn equipment on the sides.

Not sure if it belongs here, but I couldn't find a bug report section. Currently (in 1.02) when hitting ESC and choosing "Save Game", the following dialog maps the Enter key to "Cancel". So if you hit Enter to save, it will actually NOT save. Now this sounds like a minor thing, but this is actually a critical issue. Hitting that key is always mapped to actually save in all games and programs, and no one will go check and/or notice that it was not saved. I and (according to Reddit & co) many other people have lost countless hours of progress to this issue, ending in frustration and possibly abandoning the game all together, because of a simple miss-mapping. It would be great if you could prioritize that issue in your bug-list.
