If two parts are directly beside each other and directly rooted to each other then they shouldn't be connected with struts at their centers of mass as if they were apart. Instead, they should be connected as if the sides that they share are welded together. This bond should be stronger than the normal strut connection and it should render the two parts function more like one whole part.
Currently, if I was to build a wall of rectangular parts, it would turn out to be more like a noodly chain instead of a solid wall. If adjacent parts were welded together instead of just strutted together between their centers then this would much better simulate proper walls and form much more decent drone skeletal structures.
This suggestion could also potentially play into the "multiple struts" suggestion as well by having a truly modular and not root & tree based drone building experience. This way, players can actually create drones like building toy blocks that are then bonded by welds and struts placed at their choosing instead of awkwardly stretching out a chain / tree of parts that somewhat look like a solid construct.
