Here is an idea I had a while ago... What if we built some really massive rockets...
Obviously, there is bp-editing for this. But you're too lazy to go into this? No problem! I made a blueprint with all sorts of very large parts for you:
You can't do everything you want with 12 wide parts? Now you have access to up to 20 wide large parts: fuel tanks, separators and fairings! I've also included tiny fuel tanks as they are quite popular. Duplicate the parts you want to build your massive launcher, and discard the rest.
Note that this is at most a light form of cheating, as properties of parts are scaled up as well.
However, your build space is limited, and whatever you do, you may encounter some problems to send really massive payloads... For this reason, I also designed a heavy launcher to satellize your heaviest cargos. And by heavy, I mean really heavy:
Let me introduce the SSSLS: Super Stiggy Space Launch System!
Here is what the blueprint looks like:
The launcher is intentionally moved under the build space, so that you can fully use it to build your payload. The uppest part of the launcher is still accessible to let you customize it (to remove the probes, to fit a larger fuel tank, to clip some fairings, and so on...).
I've made another variant that includes the ultra large parts kit with it:
The SSSLS has been carefully designed and optimized to make your life easy:
Enjoy!

The SSSLS has been carefully designed and optimized to make your life easy:
- Can carry 1000 tons and even more to orbit
- All engines are turned on by default; when you spawn it on the launchpad, you don't have to light all 24 engines.
- Some probes are included in the launcher to give it a decent torque, though it's highly advised to add your own probes/capsules to the payload
- The only staging operation you'll have to perform is the booster separation, to let you focus on your flight technique
- The boosters has been placed reasonably far from the core to minimize the risk of collision upon separation
Enjoy!
