Enhancement: landing guidance could allow hovering X meters above target

Hi, first great work, second, thanks a lot ;-)

I'm landing several mining base modules that I link together using KAS/KIS, I have to aim for the base + a safety margin, I land, then I use translatron to take off again and hover, Smart-ASS tied to UP and use RCS to drive my module to a closer location before finally landing to its definitive location.

I'd love if I could tell the landing guidance to stop at a given altitude and then start Smart-ASS and Translatron/Keep-vertical so I can handle the final approach, would save me alot of fuel, time and quicksavev/load (would prevent any solar panel casualty if set to stop high enough, then player can check if everything looks good).

That would be helpfull too when using a lifter design to pick (dock) something and then go back to orbit without having to actually land.
