Playing without stock?

[Captain Sierra]

It's going surprisingly well despite not having a whole lot of science options. (I still have the crew report, EVA and Surface sample, plus whatever else mods give)

Mission Reports.

Does anyone have a Module Manager to integrate KOSMOS into the tech tree? Pretty sure it's the only one that has solar panels and the fuel line. (Possibly the two parts I will miss most if KOSMOS doesn't have them)

EDIT: NVM I found one!

I would recommend that you strip EVERYTHING except the fuel line from kosmos if you don't absolutely need it. NFP has more optimize panels. Kosmos is pretty memory intensive and lag inducing.

KW Rocketry, B9 Aerospace, and some science mod would surely get close to replacing the stock set of parts.

Although you will need various other parts e.g. solar panels, RTGs, and batteries, etc. But in KSP, there's pretty much a mod for anything and everything out there.

I have pretty much everything I need, it's just a matter of getting to it on the tech tree. And I'm not unlocking the next tier until the previous tier is completely unlocked.

Admittedly I am reliant on some of the stock parts to fill in the gaps in FASA. I was toying with the idea of making different sized struts and fuel lines, but figuring out the launch tower was kind of tedious and I had mixed results. I am cautious about tackling the struts and fuel lines for similar reasons. I do need to add solar panels just need some time to do them.

A stockless play through does sound fun and with the mods you listed completely doable.

That's only some of them. Also for the fuel lines check out Kosmos, (or just steal the code from squad). As far as struts, B9 has the invisible ones, and KW has some stock alike. Maybe you could do something similar? (I lack coding knowledge. What I do have is config editing knowledge)

For anyone interested Here's the Mission reports. All is going well, though I am in need of rover wheels.
