Looking for mods to go with a BDB-themed career

[T-10a]

Hello,

I'm going to try a BDB themed career, but I'm just looking for mods that can spice it up. Stuff like emulating tech/real world designs up to (reasonable) near future tech, and minor base-building/colonising efforts with a nicely-orangised progression.

so far, this is what I've got listed:

• entire Near Future suite (Mid-late game doodads for fun and profit)
• BDB (The bread/butter of the pack itself, with about a bajillion different parts for launcher variety)
• ProbesPlus (Probes became interesting to design with this ^_^)
• RSS @ 2.5x stock scale. (I mean, we gotta launch Saturns from the Cape, right? )
• Tweakscale & Procedural Parts/Fairings (Sometimes, you gotta design that tank/SRB/fairing yourself.)
• BARIS (Having Apollo 13-esque issues in flight spices up routine missions)

What do you recommend?  I'd love to hear em

I personally would never run BDB without Taerobee and Tantares installed as well. I work pretty closely with Beale and have a ton of respect for his work. Cormorant Aeronology by Pak is also good if you want a shuttle. In that same vein, Vostok Continued adds the old Tantares Vostok back in.
