[WIP] Mk2.5 Aerospace Parts

[hawkwing]

Like the completeness of the new Mk3 part set, but prefer the form factor of the old? Are the Mk2 parts too small for your application, and Mk3 too large? Introducing the Mk2.5 series of parts! Well, the cockpit, at least.

While still quite early in development, I thought I'd share what progress I have so far to get an idea of what the community might like from such a line of parts. The application I'd imagined for them was to fill the gap between the current mk2 parts (good for carrying .625-1.25m payloads) and the new mk3 parts (good for carrying 2-2.5m payloads). As such, the Mk2.5 line of parts are designed to fit payloads between 1.25m and 2.2m in diameter without being obnoxiously large and heavy like the new Mk3 parts are. The Mk2.5 connection is designed to be the width of a 2.5m part, but with flat sides and a less curved bottom than the new Mk3 line of parts.

Let me know what types of parts you'd like to see in this pack, or mods you'd like to see supported! Currently I'm planning to include an inline top-facing docking port, reaction wheel / probe core, straight tail connector, raised tail connector with ramp, cargo bay, bomb bay, Mk2.5 -> 2.5m adapter, crew cabin, Mk2.5 -> 1.25 tricoupler, and (of course) assorted fuel tanks.

Don't worry, I'm planning to include IVA models (with RPM support).
