A similar mod, Kerbal Engineer, has an optional part-less installation mode, where by simply not copying the /Parts directory into GameData, the mod just dumps data on every single craft. While I am well-versed in web development, (and am gearing up for a good hack at the frontend of this) I have no clue what goes on in the C side of this, and therefore no clue how difficult or possible that would be.

This should be easy enough to add (probably as a configuration option) since Telemachus is actually part-less under the hood, and the fact it requires a part is merely an illusion. I'll leave this issue open so that I remember to add this feature.

Part-less operation of Telemachus can now be enabled with the configuration file. This hasn't been tested thoroughly, so who know what will happen.

Awesome! I'll test this feature out while messing with frontend stuff.
