This pack contains advanced electric engines for deep space travel.Generally engines split into the following categories:
- Gridded Ion Engines:like the stock Dawn, they have low TWR and great Isp. They run on Xenon fuel.
- Hall Effect Thrusters: similar to Gridded thrusters, but with better TWRat the cost of some Isp. They run on Argon fuel and are pretty cheap!
- Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters: with the best TWR of all electric engines, these engines are very power-hungry. They run on Lithium fuel.
- Pulsed Inductive Thrusters: similar to Hall thrusters, they run on Argon fuel and have the unique ability to dump extra electricity into the engine, increasingIsp but generating more heat.
- VASIMR Engines: high tech and fancy, these engines run on either Xenon or Argon fuel. They can be tuned for high-thrust, low Isp operation, or low-thrust, high-Isp operation
These engines are all very power hungry - use nuclear reactors or high intensity solar to get the power you need. Their balance has been finely tuned to work with stock mechanics and to extend the KSP experience, particularly in combination with the Community Tech Tree.

Ever wanted some futuristic energy generation that wasn't too... futuristic? I have you covered here. This pack contains:
- Nuclear Reactors: Turn Uranium into power! Attach nuclear reactors to your vessel and generate large amount of electricity. Ensure that you have enough cooling capacity with radiators for your reactors to work properly.
- Refuelling Parts: store extra uranium, reprocess it and extract it from Ore with containers and reprocessors.
- Capacitors: discharge for a burst of power! These parts can be charge up with normal generating capacity, and once activated will deliver a large amount of power to your ship's electricity banks. Very mass efficient!

This pack contains a variety of parts for making crewed spacecraft. This means command pods. Pretty much just command pods, but also monopropellant engines in many sizes!
Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will you add a part I want? Q:What is up with the RPM IVAs? A:Some exist but now require the ASET props pack to work. They only function for the older (Mk4-1, Mk3-9, PPD-1) pods. Q: The mod album shows parts that look old/don't exist. What's up with that? | Dependencies (Required and Bundled)

The latest and greatest (forsize, perhaps) in launch vehicle components. This pack includes
- 5.0m Parts:abalanced and extensive part set that provides a new size of rocket parts. Comes with tanks, adapters, utility parts and specialized components for engine clustering.
- 7.5m Parts: an extra-large set of rocket parts for those huge constructions. Includes adapters, clustering, cargo and utility parts.
- Advanced Engines:several new rocket engines based on a whole set of concepts in the 0.625 to 3.75m sizes.
- Support Parts:new supporting parts that help enhance the large rocket experience, like heavy RCS thrusters.

This pack contains a set of parts to help enhance and improve the KSP probe experience, particularly in the later game with larger probes. You will find:
- More Probe Cores:A set of eight new probe cores in medium (1.25m) and larger (1.875m) sizes.
- Probe Bus Parts: Cargo bay-like parts that match the footprints of most probe cores (stock and NFX). Useful for storing batteries, fuel and the like
- Probe Fuel Tanks: New multi-fuel probe tanks in stack and radial sizes that are in the vein of the stock Dumpling and Baguette
- More Direct and Relay Antennae: More antennae that seamlessly fit into the KSP CommNet system to fill in missing ranges and add more interesting options.
- Reflector Antennae: A new type of antenna that does nothing on its own, but instead bounces signal from another antenna to amplify its range. Point antenna at a deployed reflector to recieve the bonus. Available in many sizes.
- Small Probe Parts: A few small probe parts (battery, reaction wheel) to fill out the probe range

Special Thanks | A big hand to @Streetwind, who basically designed the balance for the whole NFT suite. |
If you appreciate this project, please consider contributing to my caffeine addiction! I really appreciate it, and also helps justify this time sink to my wife, which results directly in more models.![[1.12.x] Near Future Technologies (September 6) (10)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=ZG6JD4L8DN86S&lc=US&item_name=Chris%20Adderley¤cy_code=CAD&bn=PP-DonationsBF%3Abtn_donate_SM.gif%3ANonHosted "[1.12.x] Near Future Technologies (September 6) (10)")
