[Suggestion] More Launch Clamps and Pads

So I've recently been searching around for mods that add extra launch clamps and alternative launch pads as well and there are very few (besides the notable FASA clamps) and a small number of launch pads included in certain part packs. I would love a mod that simply adds a variety of launch clamps and/or launch pads to the game. The FASA clamps are great, but I feel like there really should be more options available. What about a SpaceX or ESA themed pack? There are no launch clamps (to my best recollection) that lean away from the rocket prior to launch (i.e. two stage clamps). Imagine getting ready to launch your amazing creation and doing the countdown in your head (don't deny it), and the launch clamps begin to lean away from the rocket (especially if there was some way to show the fuel lines from the clamp stay attached to the rocket and then disengage as the rocket flies away).

I may be alone, and I know these parts make up a very small part of the overall experience of the game, but I can't be alone when I think one of the most fun aspects of the game is creating a rocket that looks gorgeous and sending it to the stars, so why can't we have more gorgeous looking clamps and pads to go with it?

Sorry if this has been suggested before, I used the search function and couldn't find a single thing related specifically to this. So if any talented modders out there feel up for the cause, I'm sure you'll have more than just me as a supporter :P

I think SpaceY has some larger launch clamps.

I'll have to see and grab those from that mod depending on how they look.

KerbinSide for new Launch Pads & Runways.

I understand this, but I'm talking actual parts, not to mention KerbinSide (depending on which additions you choose) can take a lot of RAM, but the basic parts of KerbinSide, at least I believe (may be wrong), started from KerbinKonstructs, which allowed you to create new areas around the KSC. Not to mention I can't use KerbinSide to change my launchpad at KSC, I have to change my launch site entirely.
