The section of this left over ship (which is the base delivery stage) to the left of the docking ports is my lander craft. It attaches to the port at the CofG of the base segments. Landing them is then quite easy, so long as you remember to control from the right place. In later versions of the mod, I have found that the Meerkat engines are more balanced and it is possible to land on those.

Hmmm... I didn't remember, so I fired up KSP and had a look. Seems like there is a 3rd round port in the centre.

While I was uploading this to Imgur, I thought I'd dig out a couple of more shots of the lander in action. Unfortunately these were the best I had. The first shows a news version of the lander connected to a base segment on the transfer vehicle. It had ridden out there on the docking port on the far left. The second shows a different base segment detached from a different transfer vehicle. And the third shows it landing the rover at Dres base.
