Do you use mods or Vanilla parts most often?

[stanNL_97]

Mods, always

I like the kosmos pack.

[whatisthisidonteven]

Mostly vanilla parts because I'm used to them, but recently I started using mods more.

[SkyHook]

Mods, almost exclusively. I am an addict, I know! Vanilla cannot contain me!

[Winter Man]

I used to use mods a load back around 0.13.2, but they kept going out of date so I stopped bothering. All I've got now is the crewtank for rescues.

[AlexL]

I want to stay as stock as possible, but i will strap a mechjeb part on for the extra data displays, and the new docking mod, but thats it.

[Richy teh space man]

A combination of them both

[LaydeeDem]

My most reliable rocket is stock, but I have a good amount mods installed too.

[ramses]

Used to be a novapunch freak, but i suppose it made it a bit too easy. I'm basically all stock now except for the cart download. I think I read somewhere that there will be a rover included in .17 release so hopefully i'll be all stock from then on.

[robly18]

I use mostly stock, with the exception being life support because of zoxygene. I very much hate using mods that add other engines and such without any special attributes or something. For example, kethane.

[Hillstache]

I've tried a number of the mods, but they always feel overpowered to me and make it too easy. (maybe it's just that the stock parts are underpowered!).

I do love MechJeb, but I use it mainly for the ship information these days as I'm trying to show in my Let's Play how to do all the different manoeuvres manually. Once I show all that I'll be back to using it for the routine stuff (and probably allow me to concentrate less on flying and more on talking)

[Enture]

I dont always use mods...

...but when I do, I use awesome ones!

Jokes aside, my rockets all rely entirely on stock parts. The few mods I used so far are:

-the crew tank, for rescue missions, orbital habitats and surface habitats.

-the fixed cameras mod, because it's awesome, and adds realism in a number of situations (onboard cameras during launch, automated scout probes...)

-ISA MapSat, because... science!

-mechjeb, for creating unmanned rockets and for the useful stats it provides, but NOT for piloting (would take the fun out, IMO)

-I started to play around with Nova's Probodobono... Probotono... Protobyno... ah, the hell with it, with Nova's something-dyne probe-pack, and will use it more in the future!

EDIT: oh, and it's not a mod proper, but... the Fuel Bug Fix, of course.

EDIT 2: Finally decided to install the Carts plugin... and going to use it a LOT in the near future!

mods are an interesting thing in ksp, however finding a balance between mod and stock really depends on the game features you need/want.. for everyone it is different i.e I feel novapunch rockets are cheap but the kethane mod isnt, likewise some people will think otherwise but it really all depends on a personal playing style

[Vanamonde]

I don't want to mess around and debug something, only to lose access to it in the next upgrade anyway, so I only use a couple of mods that fill important gaps in the game as it is in its incomplete state: Tosh's cars for rovers, floodlights, and just 'cause they're pretty, running lights.

[TheProdigy]

I use mod engines. They seem pretty balanced.

Ksp lacks a large variety of engines.

[AlternNocturn]

I used to use mods almost exclusively until they started crashing my game, now I mostly just use stock with a few mods like Mechjeb and MMI probe parts

[chrt]

I actually use only vanilla parts for rockets and planes, but I use the fixed camera mod for cockpit and landing views.

[Panichio]

Personally, I like to use vanilla, it just makes me feel like everything is how it should be if you get what I mean...

[Felsmak]

It varies. I mostly use mods because I like my rockets more real-looking, but eventually it gets messy, I decide to go stock and I clear the parts folder of all non-stock parts.

[TheDarkStar]

I use both. Most of my rockets are stock, but I have some rovers and some planned space stations and landers with the Crewtank. I have MechJeb, but never use it for steering (or anything else besides decoupling without Kerbals).

[HockeyToad28]

vanilla parts. but i may get into mods when .17 comes out

[softweir]

I mainly use vanilla. Mainly because I am lazy and can't be bothered to download mods! I used to use them more, but most of my favourites are now redundant because vanilla parts have filled in the gaps, or (as in the case of MechJeb) I now know how to run a ship well enough that I don't need help.

[air805ronin]

I used only vanilla parts till last night I convinced myself that the Orbital Construction plugin/mod makes sense. So I put a spacedock in orbit around the Mun and have been running part deliveries for the last 3 launches. The goal is to be able to build crafts in space I couldn't build on Kerbin due to the need to launch them through an atmosphere.

I'll probably go back to playing just vanilla but it gave me a great excuse to practice orbital rendezvous.

[Tim_Barrett]

When ever a new update comes out, I try to complete the main new objective using only stock.

[kacperrutka26]

I started using mods because I got kinda bored of playing stock. So I put stock because I use stock most of the time...
