Parts suggestion: Large craft structural

[aruoch]

My computer isn't the best. if i tried to launch something with 1000 parts i probably wouldn't have the framerate to get off the pad. the main construction method for creating truly large structures is to strap MK3 hulls together, since the side of them is the largest flat surface that snaps available. 

 

it'd be nice if there was a way to reduce complexity by either adding larger structural parts that could fill the gap that currently mk3 hulls fill in an ad-hoc fashion, or a way to merge constructions into a part file so they're treated as one entity and cause less lag.

Part Welding exists as a mod. go look it up.

Mods aren't built just for the version it says. They last for many versions after that nowadays. It should work for 1.6 at the very least, considering that Bradely Whistance was able to use it for his Ion Plane to Orbit video.
