"Asteroids"-style physics

By changing the linear_drag value of both the engine and the ship in question to 0 and setting Max_force to 0 also and lowering the force generated by thrusters I hae acheied what could be called Newtonian physics. What I can't do (and what I'm asking if anybody knows how to do) is to simply put: dock. It is possible to aim att docking rings, accelerate and then activate dock and thus achieve a successful dock with a planet but this is very difficult and most of the time you will burn to death in the planets atmosphere. Docking with stations is something I hae yet failed to do. I am thus wondering if there is a way to change the way in which docking works so as to make such a task easier.
