What mods should I download?

[Drunkrobot]

I've just started using mods! So far I have KSPX and Protractor, and I've tried Kethane, but got rid of it (I don't hate you, kethane, it's just that your too much for my computer to handle.). What other mods should I download. I want to focus on mods with new features and instrumentation, only new parts if they really fit into the game (though b9 aerospace is awfully tempting...). What I would really like is something like mechjebs information displays, without the autopilot. Mechjeb's ability to predict the dimensions of my orbit after an aerobrake would on its own persuade me to download.

Also, if there is such a mod that you think I would enjoy, but isn't compatible with 20.2 yet, tell me anyway, so I could keep an eye on it. Thanks!

I suggest you have a look at Kerbal Engineer for information displays. Unfortunately I think the only mod that has an aerobrake predictor is Mechjeb.

As for other mods, there is just so much out there it's really up to you to go and look through and see what catches your eye.

I had a quick look through what does, and I'm liking it! It should make those interplanetary missions much more doable.

I'd recommend chatterer.

Its the only one I ever use.

Other than that, I think robotic arms pack and the damned robotics pack are both good ones as well.

If you want more realistic (or just more parts variety) looking ships take a look at AIES: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/35383-0-20-2-AIES-Aerospace-v1-3
