Futuristic Parts

[Munchkin9]

I know I'm probably going to get strung up for this as KSP is a modern technology focused game. But I must ask anyway: Are there any good part packs out there that add futuristic looking parts (not just engines but also structural stuff). I'm really jonesing for a futuristic space exploration game and Kerbal is the best out there, despite it not being futuristic. Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated though I should mention that I know about the Interstellar mod and the Near-future Propulsion one.

On a slightly off-topic side note: if anyone knows of any good futuristic 3d (preferably) space exploration games with large ships with hangars and all that feel free to share. But I'm not expecting too much here, I've searched and haven't found anything. Think Firefly, and you are on the right track. (The X series and similar games are not what I'm thinking, I really want more exploration than combat).

Oh, and thank you, of course.

As far as futuristic stuff, you might want to check out KSP Interstellar. It doesn't add anything structural, but ti does add Nuclear Reactors, Electrical Generators, and a Warp Drive.

try space engineers: it has similar physics to ksp combined with the building style of minecraft.

LackLustreLabs has a ton of structural parts, mostly high-tech/futuristic.

Orbiter uses only the STS shuttle and a few near future spaceplanes by default, but there is an incredible number of mod craft for it. One of the best standard addons is a pack by dansteph that includes a large freighter ship and its little shuttle bay.

Orbiter is about as close as you can get to real spaceflight while still on the ground.
