Disregard. The issue was on my end.

In "NearFutureExploration\Parts\Antenna\HLAirshipsCore" there is a Plugins folder that has a copy of the Hooligan Labs DLLs.

Always go back and check the ZIP file you downloaded when you see something weird like this and are (I assume) installing manually. There is no NearFutureExploration\Parts\Antenna\HLAirshipsCore folder. You put it there by mistake somehow

Looks like you're right. It is there in the first zip folder I downloaded, so I went to the github page for it and redownloaded it. Sure enough, that folder doesn't exist in the new zip file. I have no idea how I messed that up, but it was definitely something I did

Near Future Spacecraft 1.4.6

•  Removed the Nereid and Tethys command pods and the Chickadee engines.
  •  They are soft-deprecated so crafts in flight will not be affected.
  •  The reasons for doing this should be evident.
  •   They may be replaced in the future by different designs

Near Future Launch Vehicles 2.2.2

• Fixed VABOrganizer subcategory assignments for RCS parts
• Removed the Otter and Sphinx engines
  • They are soft-deprecated so crafts in flight will not be affected.
  • The reasons for doing this should be evident.
  • They may be replaced in the future

Perhaps this a dumb question, but its not evident to me why these parts were removed. What was wrong with them, are they outdated?

It's a protest against Musk:

 

Personally i don't think Nertea should rinnegate his own hard work just because they are inspired by SpaceX's hardware, but i respect his decision.

Lol, ok. Thanks for the answer, won't be updating this mod then. I'm currently using some of those engines and pods in my career and wouldn't want to break anything.

Nuh uh this is actually a bad idea. You definitly can be a Musk hater and disagree what he had done but doing self-deletion for content that you made in your mod is not really good. I personally dislike Starlink's environmental impacts (and thus don't support Starlink), I was skeptical on Musk's Martian plans and don't like several things he did, but tbh I don't really care "if we have a SpaceX reference in a silly green man's spaceflight game's mod" or not. This is a stupid game and we are all stupid players, not attendees of an international political summit.

its only soft-deprecated, so craft with them won't break, but you won't be able to make new craft using those parts

Not gonna argue with this decision, although I do think it's a bit stupid, but I do think that a replacement for the Chickadee specifically would be in order if we're doing this. The pods I can live without, but having a strong monopropellant engine for abort/landing applications instead of a LES tower is practically half the reason I use Near Future Spacecraft.
