2-point launch clamps.

if you need launch clamps that attach a 2 points, why use the clamps?

1-put large radial decouplers at the points you want

2- put 200 i-beams on the decouplers

3- connect them.

4- build i-beams to just below your rocket

5- stick structural fuselages on.

6- done! add struts if necessary

pics coming soon

Sounds like alota extra parts. You can run struts between the ship and the clamps themselves (you can radialy attach to the red towers). A strut or two per clamp can add extra strength if your craft is so heavy that its riping out of the launch clamps on load although you still want a minimum of 2 clamps so it does not tilt sideways. I have done the trick of girders/Ibeams on decouplers leading to the clamps for times when I needed to move the clamp towers out further from the rocket though.
