I wish we had this power.  The things we wanted from Flan's are armor, guns, and titans.  That's it, but unfortunately, to have those components, we had to include the Parts Pack, which provides a bunch of rotors and wheels and stuff that we don't use.  And I don't know how much you've tinkered with Flan's, but it has zero configuration aside from which packs you shove in.  We can't even choose ID's a  lot of the time, it's crazy.

Now this is just silly shit.  This is a discussion board, you posted an opinion, people who disagree with that opinion will make posts disagreeing with it, and people who agree will make posts agreeing with it, and that's how this shit all works.  Now, you posted "I don't like the way Technic made Thing" on the official Technic boards- there are going to be more people disagreeing than agreeing with you.  Certainly, I'm gonna come in here and tell you I think you're wrong, that everything went into the pack the way it did for a reason and I'm going to tell you what those reasons were.  If you want to define that as kool-aid drinking, that's your prerogative I guess (but it's dumb), but you don't get to demand that only posts in support can post in here- that's not how message boards work.  Hell, that's now how LIFE works.   The issue isn't that we need to go back and re-read your OP, the issue is that you need to uncurl yourself from the fetal position and respond to some portion of the conversation that's occurred since the OP, in some manner, instead of just writing it off as "kool-aid".  
 
At the very least you need to ask yourself exactly what you want from this conversation, because at this moment, it seems what you wanted was a hugbox, and that reflects very poorly on your character.

This was actually originally requested by the b-team, but it did some funky things to the install.  Maybe now that our entities are no longer mismatched it'd work ok.

And by the way, Hexxit and B-Team are unbelievably popular.  I don't think it's because they're incredibly well-crafted per se, I think it's because tech packs of the sort you're asking for here are dramatically common and Hexxit & B-Team are the only things that do what they do.

There's really only one pack where we throw up our hands and say "Talk to X", and that's Voltz.  In this case, the pack was a COLLABORATION, so I have no problem taking responsibility for the mod list, even if people don't like it.  There's no reason to go complain to generikb (though I think it'd be funny if you did).
 
To a certain extent I think Technic is responsible for the bizarre way that FPS Furry is looking at this pack.  These days we're more famous for Hexxit than our tech packs, but we did do the level-up-tech-tree-automation thing before anyone else, and I think some members of the modding community have a hard time thinking about modded minecraft any other way now.  That's why this was a fun pack, and why Hexxit is a fun pack.  Changing the tightly-controlled tech tree environment to one of an arbitrary series of adventures like Hexxit or a big box of toys like B-Team is FUN.  I still think we should do our best to "balance" (for certain values of the word 'balance') Tekkit, and make it about that level-up-tech-tree thing that is so common in this community, but that's not all that modded minecraft has to be about.  This pack isn't about that.  If you want that, play Tekkit or any of the many, many, many, many packs out there that are like it.  This pack is not like Tekkit.  Given that it, unlike Hexxit, has a lot of tech-mods, I'd say that it's the anti-Tekkit.  It's the postmodern answer to Tekkit.  It is aware of everything that Tekkit is and then reject's Tekkit's basic premises.
 
If you like Tekkit (and MAINLY like Tekkit), you will hate this pack.  That's okay.  They don't all have to be like Tekkit, and if you could find one statement that we've been making as a modpacking organization since the release of Hexxit, I'd say that's it: they don't all have to be like Tekkit.
