Simple balance changes for stock parts

[jacobgong]

Some of the stock parts simple have absurd values that either make them OP or completely useless. I just wanted to make a simple ModuleManager config that attempts to fix these silly things.

For example all three stock reaction wheels have the same 20 torque. However they have different masses at 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5. And it is the big one that weighs the least.

Most of these are just mass adjustments, Notable changes:

• buff radial engines
  
• truss weigh less, with less crash tolerence
  
• 3 different reaction wheels, rather than 3 same ones with difference mass
  
• actual connector parts weigh less so they are actually relevant
  
• NERF THE GODLY CUBE STRUT
  
• NERF THE GODLY MICRO ENGINE
  
• landing gear and launch clamp now have zero mass
  
• Poodle is now slightly better than stacking LV-909
  

//Nerf OP God engine
@PART[liquidEngineMini]

@mass = 0.35

//buff useless junk
@PART[radialEngineMini]

	{
		@maxThrust = 5.0
		@atmosphereCurve

	}
}

//buff useless junk

I am posting it here because I am too lazy to make an elaborate release post with all the stupid CR licensing and stuff. If anyone wants to do it please go ahead and you can claim it to be your own creation, I don't really care.

Cheers, This inspired me to go through the Squad Folder and Dump all the Parts that StretchyTanks could replicate such as conic adaptors and cylinders, Then Gauged the weight of each usefull remaining structural part by resizing Stretchytanks set to structural fuselage mode to the right size of each part to get a realistic and balanced weight, Most parts were way off.

Though the cubestrut was closer to 0.002, so double it's stock weight but not anything like 0.01

Otherwise a handy post matey

Saved a fair chunk of memory too, for more awesome mod parts

Why set landing gear to have no mass? All the other changes make sense but making landing gear have no mass feels quite cheaty.
