What are some good futuristic mods for KSP1?

[alpine488]

I'm looking for some cool futuristic mods for ksp1 (specifically 1.12.X) that are also on CKAN. I've already tried the Near Future mod suite, and I wasn't crazy about it (also you have to switch versions). If possible (if possible, compatible with rasterpropmonitor). Can any of you recommend some for me? Thanks

I mean, the NF Suite meets all of your criteria. I don't know what you mean by "you have to switch versions", because the whole suite works on 1.12.x Its such a universally beloved suite that it got Nertea on the KSP2 dev team, and virtually all the other major KSP1 mods are compatible with it (including RPM). 

Also, other than other ones by Nertea, including Far Future Tech, Kerbal Atomics, Stockalike Station Parts Expansion, Mark IV spaceplanes etc. that are compatible with 1.12.x. Maybe try OPT (I mean, its only listed as 1.11, but it'll still work)? Blueshift does FTL, then there's Flying Saucers. Jade of Maar and Angel 125 both do other mods, but the only other ones that fit a futuristic theme aren't on CKAN, and also, it gets hard to distinguish "futuristic" from "alternative past" (in the case of MOLE and KARE) and "alternative present" (in the case of Mk 33 and Tea Kettle RCS) techs.

@Grenartia Sorry. I should've specified my game version is 1.12.5 (although i will try the mods you've suggested and ignore ckan's warnings). The Near Future suite depends on B9PartSwitch, which isn't on the version (again, will try anyways). I do understand your confusion. Thanks!

So, here's something that might help you.



Just click all the boxes from 1.8 upwards (including 1.8 itself). Mods in 1.8 onwards are generally compatible with 1.12.x

IIRC, you can even get away with 1.7.x, but that's a bit riskier.

It would be nice if someone could make some of those "beloved" mods compatible with KSP v 1.12.5.  For instance FAR is only compatible with V 1.3.99.  It is needed for other mods that "might" be compatible.

Just went back and looked and it is there. One item had a red flag.  While I was clicking around checking things out it turned black.  Now I will have to check other mods.  The old version is still there too.

I'll admit, I've never really used FAR, and so none of the mods I recommended depend on it.
