any suggestions?

Protest the garbage that is IPS? Host the poll on a non-broken website? Abandon the poll idea altogether?
This forum software is clearly broken for polls with >20 options.

Or, since there are only 17 choices with responses, trim it down to just them and an "other" choice?

I like this. Ill let the poll sit for a couple days and top 20 get to a "real poll"

Will some artiificially get there? sure, but 2nd best of 100 can get knocked out at the start of a tournament and 51st can make it to the finals so I think that's the fairest it can get

There are almost certainly only 4 participants so far (again, obvious from warped Dmagic votes), that's a mighty small sample size.

Oh that was a typo.

[Kerbals_of_Steel]

Must have KIS/KAS and MechJeb, KAC is super useful as well. I'm getting to the point where I don't need MechJeb to help with my piloting, I made my first landings, dockings, ect all before I installed it. MechJeb is still vital to getting the most out of my playing time, though. How many times do I need to launch identical supply or crew rockets??? Much better to automate that part of things. I still prefer to pilot the first flights and unusual payloads myself. The more complex the in-game world gets, the more useful KAC becomes, it's no big deal to keep track of ten or twenty flights, but 40-50 is my limit.

KIS/KAS changes the very nature of the game. Without it, it's a game about rockets, and the Kerbals are there to support them. With it, it's a game about Kerbals, and the rockets are just vehicles for them and their explorations.

You seem to have KOS missing - for me it's the second (after KAC) most important mod.

As for the need to select one answer from each group, maybe you could add to each group an option: "none from this group"?

[Misguided Kerbal]

You forgot Restock! And the Near Future mods!

[Starhelperdude]

I have modulemanager in all of my ''modpacks''

[Clamp-o-Tron]

A couple to add:

BARIS

Tac-ls (and usi-ls, but I use tac)

Kerbal health

JNSQ

MKS

ReStock is there, it’s in Part 2.

Great! Now, guys: would some of you, who hasn't voted yet, add KOS to your vote? I already have voted before, and there seems to be no option to edit my answer.

It's a terrifying thought, that this wonderful mod would have one point less, just because I was too lazy to create a new account and fix the situation.

Clarify what I had in mind when I said what I did.

You should update the poll, out of all the mods on the list provided I only use 3 (NFX, NFS and NFE). Other mods I use are: Feline Utility Rovers, TST Continued, Restock and Restock+, Knes, Grounded (Modular vehicles mod allowing you to create city vehicles) and KSP Recall

[jimmymcgoochie]

Restock/+, because there are some useful extras in Restock+ and the part style matches Near Future which I also often use;

MechJeb, because why would I do everything myself when I can get the game to do the number-crunching for me;

Kerbalism, in my most recent career games at least, because it’s a pretty comprehensive setup for life support/Kerbal QoL and makes science experiments take longer than one click and you’re done;

Astrogator, because while MechJeb’s advanced transfer tool is what I usually use to plot the nodes, it’s nice to have the time until the next optimal transfer window for everywhere displayed in one window along with delta-V requirements;

ScanSat, to make nice maps (and more science);

And KAC, because it’s far too easy to time warp past nodes otherwise.

I’ve also been using KIS/KAS and KER recently but I don’t use them every time, likewise with Stage Recovery which I would use for any career but is advised against for RP-1 for game balance reasons; I also use some Near Future mods in most of my careers but this varies- I never use NFSpacecraft but almost always use NFExploration for the probe parts expansion.

 

[Corona688]

You're missing Simple Tank Switch.  I wanted to love restock and restock+ but they generate incompatible ship files and I won't tolerate that in a makeover mod.

[DialoMalison]

MechJeb - For info screens and because I find manually launching to LKO tedious.
KAC - A must for running multiple missions at once
RCS Build Aid - I like my ships to be stable
KIS/KAS

Final Frontier & Kerbal Construction Time - These 2 make the game more fun and engaging for me.

Janitors Closet - The newest addition to my list. Just started using this one a few weeks ago and it really makes it easier to find parts in the editor quickly.

Plus many parts packs.
 

[Urus28]

From the list

• SCANSAT
• Restock and restock+
• Transfer window planner
• Kerbal alarm clock
• Docking alignment indicator
• chatterer

I also use :

• Simple fuel switch for more liberty with tanks
• RCS build aid
• Precise editor, very important for me to have numeric values of part positions to have something really precise
