Fairings: more interstage nodes ?

[lugge]

I really like the "Show interstage nodes" feature when using stock fairings.

However, they are limited in number.
Lets say I'm planning a probe mission to Jool, containing 5 probes for inspecting the various moons of Jool.
Because the 2.5m fairing only offers such few nodes, I have to stack fairings.

 

The fairing itself can get really high, but that is not useful (except if you have one huge payload).
For putting 5 probes into the fairing, I have to use multiple fairings because I run out of nodes.
See my screenshot, I have to use 3 fairings.

Is this intended or am I doing something wrong?

It's intended, but looking at the cfg files, someone who knows what they're doing could likely add more with some MM patches.

Or increase the spacing.

I hate the dang things, I'm always dropping parts onto the interstage nodes, rather than the 'root' node.  I disabled them a awhile ago, but I'll keep this in my back pocket just in case.

Aside from aesthetics, why would you add fairings to each probe to be launched?  That will only add mass and reduce your dv.  And increase the chances of the fairings taking out something important (I have a habit of building my fairings too close to solar panels....).  So I'm curious....  Nope, I see it now.  I've been doing comm net deployments all wrong now....
