It sounds like you need to apply gravity to the ship and/or increase its mass.  Or, if the ship never needs to move up and down at all, you could just reset its Y position every frame.

As for jittery movement, if you are applying a force or some other physics function, you should do it in FixedUpdate.  If you are applying a regular translation or rotation or doing anything else, you should do it in Update.
