I'm fairly certain any american spaceflight program is off the table for being added unfortunately.

IMO Near Future doesn't need American capsules because Dragon, Orion, Starliner, Apollo, etc. are all covered near-perfect by other mods. I'll take whatever Nertea gives us but I'd like to see concepts like ESA SUSIE or Russia Orel in game.

We have SpaceX capsules coming out of our ears by this point, I've always loved the more fantasy-style capsules that this mod offers. The Tethys and Nereid are great, but more distinct, original designs would be awesome!

When the new update comes out replacing the now removed parts I will probably just splice them into the older version. I totally respect Nertea's opinion but I have used and plan to use the removed parts too much to simply go without in the future.

I wonder if he would let someone make a off shoot mod with just the parts so he doesn't have to be associated with it.

Beyond what he is now at least.

I think this current conversation might be running up against this request:

If you want to share information on how to restore the removed parts, you may of course do that, but please respect my wishes and don't do it in my thread. 


Besides, there's already a project for it:

When are you going to delete the Pandora capsule since it's associated with Russia's ACTS capsule @Nertea? And any other parts associated with Russia or China?

When are you going to realize @Ryaja no one but you cares about your thoughts or opinions?

It's Nertea's mod and they can do what they want with it, even if we don't agree. Knock it off already.

I'm just pointing out an inconsistency between his expressed opinions and actions taken

This bickering is a bad look on this community. You can disagree with peoples stances, and whatever their perceived failures are. It is, after all, his mod, and while I don't agree with his decision, expressing grievances elsewhere may be more appropriate.  

Annnyyyway. New parts lol? I thought Nertea had finished up.

Wonder if they are going to be inspired by real concepts or purely fictional.

Another forward-reentering biconic capsule? The New Shepard capsule?? Kerbalized Orion??? Could it even be STARLINER?!?!?!?!?!

Then again, the removed parts had the ability to have monopropellant engines mounted to them and I cannot think of anything else that does that.

Spoiler

This part has been removed as it Is Inspired by technology inextricably associated with (you know who), who is a prominent neo-(blah blah politics)

This is an actual excerpt from the mod(everything in parenthesis is cut out due to politics) so it's safe to say: no full flow engines, no capsules with engines, etc.

Ohhh! Maybe beefed up new Shepard with monoprop tanks and a spot to place an engine in the middle? (same spot where the abort system is located IRL)

Heck, it could be passed off as a bigger version of the Proteus!

Thinking about it, you could then make a custom monoprop engine with like, a heatshield flap on it, could be useful with other builds!

 

Still, im hoping its 2 new biconic capsules cause those are fun :]

I have a pair of fairly solid concepts for the capsules right now. I'm working on a different, extremely large project at the moment so it's not a priority, plus I guess more time for people to be offended is good. 

  • New versions of NF Spacecraft will have the 2 new capsules, a replacement engine, as well as likely the 5-6 aerodynamic landing legs I've been working on for 3 years on and off. 
  • New versions of NFLV will have the 2 new engines, as well as a couple other incentives to upgrade. 
  • Likely both new updates of the mods will include compatability to the new project, which in itself should be a large reason to upgrade
  • When this happens the deprecated assets will remain, but I'll do things to them to discourage use.
