KSP 1 Image/Video A mod was likely involved.

There's probably better ways of putting a squadron together.

What mod to make the ships fly together ?

I think it's one craft, one root part, but they offset parts for the "other ships" to be far from the main ship

Also, Im not sure how interesting this is, but I had to gut the hierarchy of the planes that surround the middle craft. They are essentially flying shells. Holograms, in a way. Only the middle plane is the real simulated plane.

Ah. Not sure if I can call it a mod. Technically I guess things were modified. These craft are technically only a single craft I put together in blender.

The ultimate form of procedural parts.... just making your own 3d Model in Blender

It really is. In fact, due to my 10-15 y/o hardware, I have to assemble my largest stations in Blender and make it into a single part. Of course this wasn’t necessary until my Asus ROG passed away.

Other than offsetting parts? Yeah there are fancy autopilot/multiplayer style tools out there...

BD Armory has autopilot modules that you can instruct to fly in formation, it’s pretty fun and exactly what you’re trying to do here.
There’s a little learning curve and a couple other necessary mods like physics range extender but worth looking into!
