In celebration of 1.0 being right around the corner, I decided to whip up a list of my top 5 must have add-ons. Let me know what you think either here or in the comments.

Nicely written! I wasn't aware of CKAN. I wonder if they used any of CPAN's code.

Great list, and great website

It was an epiphany moment when I found it. I came running back to kerbal with open arms, and proceeded to immediately have 3 kerbals die due to air toxicity while trying to setup a remotetech network I'm looking forward to doing my 1.0 review.

Just moving this over to General Add-on Affairs.

Carry on, and keep highlighting mods.

[Mecripp]

I would drop ckan and say EVE we all like the clouds.

[pxi]

I agree with all of them, excepting CKAN.

It's not that I don't think it's not useful - I'm sure it is for many in the community - it's just that it's the only one in the list that I don't personally use.

[Cdodders]

Im of the opinion that BD Armouries should be fairly high on a top n list, as it adds another dimension or aspect to the game

[nightingale]

Good stuff! I'm more of a KER man myself, but MechJeb is certainly appropriate for a list like this!

[BudgetHedgehog]

No Stock Bugfix Modules? For shame... IMO, if you want to play 0.90 how it was meant to be played without the decoupler bug, the EVA bug, the save-breaking bug that occurs when yo kill or fire a kerbal etc etc, this is the mod you want. Nay, this is a mod you need. Without it, the game can be frustratingly unplayable.

I second this. I've actually gotten used to Squad's mod setup after installing/uninstalling/troubleshooting/removing-whole-game-and-reinstalling-from-scratch. But if there's a <strike>mod</strike> program that does it, awesome!

Also, I was going to say FAR, but with redone aerodynamics and Procedural Fairings making stock in 1.0, who knows if it will still be *that* necessary?

[Ippo]

I'd just like to point out that ckan isn't a mod

[LN400]

Nice list. The mods I personally would love to see in v1 (unless they somehow get incorporated in the stock game) are in particular SCANSat, RT, KOS, Kerbal Engineer Redux, Procedural Fairings and FAR. KW Rocketry and MRS really add to the game as well as Raster Prop Monitor but I _guess_ I could live without them if I absolutely have to (fingers crossed I don't have to).

True, CKAN is an external mod update manager application. Still, it is so closely connected with mod use one could be forgiven for mistaking it for one.
