Which career mods are recommended for a veteran player first starting up a career game?

[smjjames]

I'm bored, so, I'm thinking of starting up a new (like NEW new) career save, but I'm wondering what mods are recommended or perhaps even suggested. I'm already looking at getting waypoint manager, contract configurator and some contract packs, DMagics contract window+. Some that I'm 'maybe' on are stage recovery (not sure if truly needed) and Astronaut Complex Overhaul, but some people prefer to just rescue kerbals or say that it's the best way or something, so, I don't know really. Actually, still trying to decide on what contract packs......

no FAR? u should get FAR. and New horizons, trans keptunian, outer planets mod, and the saru planet pack. also, you should get MK2 and MK3 expansions, both made by same guy, and quiztech aerospace, made by someone, and respective FAR configs if available, Near Future everything, construction, solar, electrical, etc. B9, interstellar, convair nexus, but if you dont want any of those, try bluedogs parts, and all the mods that add science parts, like Dmagic, Station science, and...whatever else, but MFT is also really good, lets you choose what is in/stored in your fuel tanks, editor extensions, for basically infinite symetry, i think i ounce got x96 symetry, no offset limits, for building, deadly re-entry, realchutes, and maybe more.

I said career mods, like stuff that modify or add to career mode.....

some of those mods add parts which u can get in career mode, so..... i guess that might count? and if anything, station science is a science mod which adds science parts for use in career mode, and interstellar has some science parts in it too, along with blue dogs parts, and i consider parts that add in science experiments as career related, atleast.

you're welcome to help me test out GAP. see link in my sig.

I don't know if it's really what you're looking for, but Kerbal Construction Time can add an interesting element to the career.

[Mister Spock]

I second the vote for Kerbal Construction Time.  Adds a new dimension to career.  Also a contracts mod or two, like severed solo's Bases and Stations (formerly Kerbal Space Station) or the Progression Contracts Mod or some such.
