Useless but fun :

HyperEdit

I find Hyperedit extremely useful for testing purposes.

True but I use it very rarely (exept when I am about to Ragequit)

[KerbMav]

My list (of which I am sure is not complete here) keeps changing from update to update, but I have a few essentials (some not being used due to problems with the mod itself):

FAR

DeadlyReentry

KerbalEngineerRedux

KIDS

AlarmClock

PreciseNode

EditorExtensions

SelectRoot

PartLister

PartCatalogue

ShipManifest

FuelBalancer

Chatterer

Targetron

RemoteTech

NavballExtensions

NavballDockingIndicator

TextureReplacer

TextureManagement

Clouds and Lights (minus the Lights)

Protractor

ScanSat

Vanguard Parachutes

ActionGroupManagement (at least as soon as it gets patched)

AlternateResourcePanel

plus varying part packs/bits and pieces from bigger mods, but always:

KSPX

ProceduralFairings

AviationLights

SurfaceMountedLights

KAS

InfernalRobotics

also frequently coming along:

Kethane

LargeStructuralStationComponents

Spherical Tanks

z_thing

AIES tanks only (plus maybe some stuff, but I have mental issues with modded engines)

becoming essentials it seems:

RCS Sounds

HotRockets

RealChutes

I never got around trying out MechJeb, as I heard it offered less information during construction than KER and I would not use the auto pilot anyway - though I like the transparent window design better.

Hyperedit was for when I managed to built a really nice space station and wanted to keep it after a restart inducing update, but since I never built a space station that really turned me on ...

new guy here, please forgive the ignorance, does running 4 or 5 mods, for that matter, running 30 plus mods slow the game down? or cause problems? Thank You!

Too many additional parts can cause out of memory crashes.

KER and Kethane. I looked at life-support mods, but they seem to still need some work. I may get Deadly Reentry and FAR now that I'm looking for some fresh challenges. I'm kind of concerned about the performance hit, though.
