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.

Wow this is the first time I've ever double threaded O.o

My bad. Glitch in my internet...I guess.

Moderator delete one please?

Near future propulsion and interstellar

For structural parts, I recommend B9 Aerospace, Lack Luster Labs, and KW Rocketry. These all look good with KSP Interstellar.

These part packs will put you over the memory limit for KSP, so you will need Active Texture Management.

Pretty much all my stuff is sci fi, I think rcs powered mono hover wheels that rotate hubs would be considered fairly futuristic

^ Not everything you asked for, but it has a strong exploration atmosphere with its procedural universe. There's some futuristic spacecraft in there, although they don't yet have working hangars, docking, etc.

Thank you for all of these. I especially like the Wayland Corp. Stuff. Thank you

Also thank you for linking me to the Active Texture Management. I had no idea this thing existed and it has officially saved my life(game). Brilliant!

The IonHybridElectric pack is pretty futuristic, it's also pretty too! The hybrids are awesome!

I love the X series, they are pretty versatile (X3TC FTW!)

Fav's here are NearFuture and IonHybridElectric, as mentioned above. Love the reactors from NF. IonHybrid hasn't been updated in a while, I think I had to manually edit the parts into the techtree in career mode, FWIW.

I'm working on a mod currently. Some of the parts are going to be quite futuristic. It's still in development, with no downloads yet, but you can check out the Dev thread to see what I'm working on. Link is my signature Image.

Pretty sexy work Daemoria. Thanks all for the other suggestions. Yeah the X series is one of my favorite game series but much more focused on combat which I don't really want to deal with right now lol

Elite Dangerous is the game for you sir.

...Doesn't "futuristic" mean something that could appear in the future?
