Pxtseryu Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Fix Eliminating Locks On Near-Future (FELON) Fix Eliminating Locks On Near-Future is a very small mod (a module manager patch, really) that allows users to optionally restore several parts from Nertea's popular Near-Future content suite that were hidden on February 1st of this year. As these have been soft deprecated (invisible in VAB, unable to be accessed without some bondoogling with filters) I am not redistributing any assets, simply enabling these parts again. To avoid violating the license of the mod all descriptions have been changed as those descriptions are in the code and I'm not super well versed on how that'd translate. I do not condone, endorse, or support any political beliefs, actions, or individuals by releasing this mod. Seeing as these pods and especially methalox engines are part of many tech trees and are parts players have come to love I wish to give players the option. This config will be deleted as soon as replacement parts begin to release or upon request by Nertea, though they have expressed that they are fine with others re-enabling the parts and telling others how to as long as it isn't in their thread. On 2/2/2025 at 11:47 PM, Nertea said: 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. Currently re-enables: -Near Future Launch Vehicle's Otter and Otter Vaccum LF-OX engines. -Near Future Spacecraft's Chickadee engine, Tethys, and Nereid command capsules. -Near Future Propulsion's Deinonychus and Eagle methalox engines. INSTALLATION: -Drag the .cfg into your GameData. DOWNLOAD: GitHub Mod is under a MIT license. Do what you want, I don't care.

Iapetus7342 Posted yesterday at 03:37 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:37 PM Acronym aside, this is quite a great mod for people who want to play with the SpaceX-style parts again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nertea specifically said the concept of the parts is too close, in other words engine pods and a capsule is problematic now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, without getting too specific on the politics side of the matter, I get it. The company's owner is saying and doing and promoting things the mod's developer finds abhorrent and harmful, both to their ethics and materially, in such a way that the developer no longer wants to signal boost the company owner's status. I know there has been criticisms of that line of thinking made about a certain German-American rocket scientist and a certain nation that was a big fan of putting tools on their flag, and while I acknowledge some validity to that viewpoint , there's a counterargument to be made that those things aren't happening in the here and now, while the company owner's harmful things are. 3 minutes ago, Ryaja said: I respect that he can have his opinion, I just think the virtue signalling is going to tear this community apart. I've always found the term "virtue signalling" as a perjorative to be odd. Like, oh no, someone has virtues they hold dear enough to be vocal about.

Virtue signalling is basically when you say "look how good and moral I am because I believe X," Not they have virtues, but them making sure everybody knows their political stance. 51 minutes ago, Grenartia said: there's a counterargument to be made that those things aren't happening in the here and now, while the company owner's harmful things are. The problem is when people don't like someone they assume all straw men about them are true, and refuse to see nuance. Instead going to virtue signalling to try and get everyone who disagrees to leave. Edited yesterday at 08:24 PM by Ryaja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that sounds like an overly cynical and unnecessarily subjective way to say "someone took a stand on an issue in a way that I disagree with and it annoyed me, but I couldn't actually argue against it on its own merits". 23 minutes ago, Ryaja said: The problem is when people don't like someone they assume all straw men about them are true, and refuse to see nuance. Instead going to virtue signalling to try and get everyone who disagrees to leave. I mean, there's really no way to seriously rebut the "all the attacks are strawmen" and "there's nuance to be had" in this case without getting political, suffice it to say I have enough information to know there are very valid concerns and little to no nuance to be had in this case.

I couldn't argue with it because it's not allowed by the forum rules. 2 minutes ago, Grenartia said: little to no nuance to be had in this case There is always nuance, if you ever think there isn't then maybe you need to reevaluate.

As far as my terrible legal understanding goes I need to get approval from @Nertea to redistribute, which I doubt they'd be comfortable with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase: there is no nuance that is favorable to the company's owner. I've looked at all the facts. I've heard all the stories, even the facts and the stories that disagree with me.

Grenartia Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago In other news, if permission to use the parts is withdrawn, do you have any plans, or even just ideas, for what you'll do afterwards, @Pxtseryu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
