Which one ?

[glibbo]

I know it may be a question of preference but, which planetary mod/add on do you think has the edge over others ?

I do not have one installed yet and just wondered which one to try, thanks

For planetary modification (position, orbit, trajectory, etc.) I would suggest HyperEdit. I love messing around with this mod, making Gilly crash into Kerbin, and you can also use it to move crafts instantly to any orbit, anywhere. For adding planets, I remember seeing a planet factory mod somewhere, and I think they have changed it so it is now an interstellar mod with multiple suns and a super massive black hole in the centre of the galaxy.

New Planets

Try Outer Planets. It's a whole new experience.

+1 to Outer Planets. It's just beautifully done. Great eye candy, and thoughtfully designed (celestial bodies that are different enough to make interesting challenges, without being gimmicky). Feels very "finished" and professional-- if Squad had dropped this content into the stock game, I'd have accepted it without an eyeblink.

I'm trying Outer Planets atm, and have found it to be significantly less buggy than previous extra planets mods I've used. It seems to have been very well put together.

Thanks for your comments, I'll give them a go...

OOh, this sounds fun. I'd love to give the Mun an axial tilt and a non-circular, inclined orbit.

I might be wrong, but as far as I know, you can't give a planet an axial tilt due to the game engine limitations. There is a mod that attempts to make it appear that a planet has an axial tilt by texture shenanigans, but nothing real is possible.

Would it make much difference to gameplay? I guess things are very slightly more complicated if equatorial orbits around planets are further from the ecliptic.

You will need moar boosters,
