I would just like to say....
I am a fairly new player to KSP. I started when about a year ago and didn't really start looking at mods until it was about 1.7. I was so relieved to find such a large supportive modding community because I really found KSP to be lacking - rather bland, in it's vanilla version.
The mods that altered the dimensions and sizes of the systems, especially RSS, was terrific! I found the right challenge I was looking for because there really is no challenge in Vanilla. Working with the realistic physics and challenges of Interstellar Exploration was immersive. Since my childhood watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos, I have been enchanted by Space Exploration. KSP is the ONLY game I have seen that offers that immersion and at the same time, gives the light hearted humour of our little green men.
Kopernicus Mod is so very fundamental, as I'm sure everyone here agrees, to my enjoyment of this game. I cannot thank Thomas P. enough for the efforts he has made in maintaining this mod which supports so many other mods.
However, I find it so overwhelmingly daunting that the KSP developers did not add this to the game. I think many players would take more interest in this game and it's development if it offered so many of the mods. Most especially this one.
My thanks to all the modders in this community.
