Just purchased - What kind of mods should I look into?

[DavidF]

Hey guys! Just purchased this thanks to a buddy of mine but I\'m wondering, what kind of mods would you suggest me using? I have looked around and I have to admit, coming late to the party is a little overwhelming. So many mods, so many things! Any suggestions?

I\'m looking for an Auto Pilot Mod, as well as anything that would help me gauge on how to get to the Mun and any other places. Thanks for the help!

Autopilot: mechjeb.com

Can do anything, from giving you information the standard gui is missing to playing the game on itself.

Thank you very much for that link! When I finally get the download link for the full version I\'ll install that right away, once I figure out how of course. Any other mods you\'d suggest?

Well, mine ;P

If you just want to have hundreds of parts to choose from, use NovaPunch, it contains parts in almost any shape that could fit into a rocket.

If you want to do real science, you can use Innsewerant\'s mapper, it allows you to collect altitude data, a lot of people went mad due to that and run KSP all day ;D

What mod did you make? I\'m not looking for real science simply because.. well.. I\'m not a scientific person. I just guestimate, lol! I\'m thinking doing a Part Pack right now might be a little overwhelming since I just started. I think I\'ll be set with the Auto pilot for now while I familiarize myself with how this works in the full version.

Thanks for the help, don\'t be afraid to self promote here people! The point is to make me aware of the mod, so I don\'t have to feel so overwhelmed looking at [somethingExtraterrestial]SomeGibberishIdon\'tknow [V1.20], etc. XD

Phew! I\'ll pass on that for a bit. I\'ll consider it in the future though!

I really like Down Under Aerospace & Party Supplies pack. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=3362.0

Its got some nice nosecone fairings for rocket building. Not to mention it looks really cool when you jettison them. 8)

Forgot about that in my posts, I use it on all my rockets!

Downloading now, thanks! I like to use Pre-made Rockets a lot, but I\'ll give the parts a shot.

You can use Kosmos Parts pack mostly for your space stations and use prodoodyne or whatever for smaller probes.
