Near Future Spacecraft

A mod pack for Kerbal Space Program, delivering an expansion to the spacecraft construction offerings in the game

Features

A number of parts designed to help build better and cooler orbital (and not so orbital) spacecraft, including:

  • Orbital Command Pods: New command pods, focused on orbital operations with better comms and control
  • Advanced Command Pods: Command pods that are similar to stock's offerings, but uprated
  • Lander Command Pods: Command pods with integral slots for landing engines
  • Monopropellant Tanks: A full set of monopropellant tanks in 1.25m, 2.5m and 3.75m sizes
  • Service Fuel Tanks: A few service bay/fuel tank combinations
  • Advanced RCS Thrusters: High efficiency orbital RCS thrusters
  • Orbital Monopropellant Engines: Specialized, efficient engines for orbital use fuelled by monopropellant
  • Landing Monopropellant Engines: Specialized and high thrust engines for lander and abort system use
  • IVAs: All the pods have fully featured IVAs, and some have more complex RPM IVAs

Dependencies

Required

These components are required for the mod to function and are bundled as part of any download:

Installation

To install, place the GameData folder inside your Kerbal Space Program folder. If asked to overwrite files, please do so.

NOTE: Do NOT rename or move folders within the GameData folder - this mod uses absolute paths to assets and will break if this happens.

Optional Patches

Some extra patches are bundled that you can use to tweak your installation. To install them, drop the correct folder from the Extras folder into your KSP GameData Folder

  • OrbitalLFOEngines: Converts the orbital monoprop engines to use LF/O

External Mod Compatibility

This mod includes compatibility patches for the following mods:

  • KSP-AVC: Provides version checking
  • Community Tech Tree: Provides an expanded, community-sourced technology tree for modders to use
  • ASET Props: If ASET Props and RPM are installed, certain command pods will have RPM layouts
  • Connected Living Spaces: Correctly marks parts as passable or impassable
  • TAC-LS: sets up relevant life support for parts
  • USI-LS: sets up relevant life support for parts

Note that the vast majority of this compatibility is community-sourced and not maintained by me.

Contributing

I certainly accept pull requests. Please target all such things to the dev branch though!
