You might try toggling off all but the center rocket gimble in your stage action group to help with the control problem, RocketPilot573. Sometimes less is more.

Thanks, guz! I'm pretty proud of her.

This is currently my most advanced Interplanetary Exploration Vessel. As a treker, I couldn't resist christening her "Enterprise." She is a throwback to the carrier ships of the same name, with 6 deployable lander/probes attached via Clamp-O-Tron Jr ports. Each probe features its own liquid fuel engines, 2 1x6 solar panels, and a deployable parachute for atmospheric landings which is deployable and cuttable via action groups. All probes are theoretically recoverable and could also be used as missiles. The ship also has a manned lander attached to the aft of the ship via Clamp-O-Tron Sr. docking port. The engine on this lander can also be activated via action group to assist with thrust if necessary. The ship itself boasts 6 LV-N Atomic Rocket motors mounted radially, 9 1x6 solar panels, 5794.44 units of liquid fuel, 600 units of mono-propellant, and a fore-mounted Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port for orbital refueling operations. When coupled with orbital refueling, this ship is capable of visiting, launching its probes/landers, and returning from nearly any, if not any, location in the system and may remain operational indefinitely.
