Great! As for mods, anything that isn't OP, basically.

I’m in too- I even have a Beyond Home version of KSP already made (I was curious to see what it looked like as I’ve never used it before). I would say that Luciole is a bit too OP as demonstrated by the last race where rockets made entirely from Luciole parts could fly to the Mun and back- in JNSQ!

I vote for science mode in this race, sandbox removes too many constraints on designs but career has too much extra stuff to deal with for a space race.

I've got KSP 1.10.1 running with Beyond Home, but the addition of Parallax (terrain shader) is causing terrible frame rate drops and the game is running at about 1/8-1/10 speed with even a simple craft on the launchpad. I'm playing around with the settings to see if there's a way to improve performance, but if not then it looks like Beyond Home v1.4.2 is the way to go as 1.5.2 forces you to use Parallax as well.

Ok.  Will there be any rescaling?

[Entropian]

Ok, I've been playing with Beyond Home, and I think it's waaaayyy too easy to get around.  In a science mode game I managed to get a Lua landing and return on launch 2, so I think a rescale should be in order.

Do it entirely with CSA parts?

I'm setting up the next one with Beyond Home, and CSA parts, you can still request for a ReScale there.

No. Contares has SO MANY PARTS and it's totally unnecessary to include it at all. Nobody else has expressed any interest at all in using those mods, and after seeing them in-game I'm definitely not interested.
