WHy not try the Procedural Fairings mod, or KW Rocketry? Fairings don't really serve a purpose unless you play with either NEAR or FAR, so they are mainly for aesthetics.

Thats why I need them, I already know that they dont have a real purpose lol

And I try to stay away from mods as much as I can. I did this the other day but I don't like having 8 fairing halves lol

I have over 700 hours in ksp, I already know that they dont have a real purpose lol

Then your best bet is with I-beams and structural panels.

I can't use I beams with a 2.5 payload

what do you mean with "make"? You mean with stock items?

Anyway, I would recommend to usw KW Rocketry, they look nice and clean, with fairings from 1.25m to 5m. If you don't like/need the other parts you can delete them in gamedata.

Yes I want them to be stock.

When I make stock fairings I radially attach i-beams to a decoupler, point them up, and then attach structural plates. You can play with the symmetry to get them to look nice.

Why not? If you need a wider fairing (Say going from a 2.5m base to a 3.75m payload) use structural panels to flare out, then use I-beams for the height, and finish it off with structural panels

Also, check out this post for some interesting ideas.
