My personal must have mod list

[manuelasa1999]

Hi ksp community, today I'm writting you because i want to share my personal must have mods for ksp 0.23.5

Every new release i install the typical mods and search for new mods in the forum, but what mods should i install? If I install a lot of them i will reach the 3.5GB KSP limit and it will crash.... For that i idecided to create my must have mod list, it consist in the following mods:

-MechJeb: I use it when i want to save time or when I just want to test something and dont want to do all the orbit and rendezvous process, I also use some of its tools like maneuver mode editor or ship's delta v.

Pros: Helps a lot to create nodes, transfering between orbits...

Cons: It reduces the fun part of the game for someones.

-Ship Mainfest: Very usefull for crew and resources transfer, you can also create your custom kerbals...

Pros: You can transfer resources and kerbals.

Cons: It reduces the importance of EVAs in orbit.

-KW Rocketery: Adds a lot of parts solid rocket boosters, engines, fuel tanks...

Pros: Adds a lot of parts.

Cons: It reduces the engineering part of building rockets

-Kerthane: Adds a new mineral called kerthane, it can be used to make fuel in refineries and refuel your ships.

Pros: Adds more things to do in the mum and minmus.

Cons: i havent found any contra this mod is great

-Lazor system: Adds docking camera, eva first person view, lazors, lazors.... LAZORSSS for tract, destroy. Very usefull

Pros: Adds new functions to the game

Cons: In MY OPINION lazors are overpowered.

Fustek : Adds some new space station pars to make more beautiful space stations.

Pros: Better space stations

Cons: Some of the eva exits of the space station modules are behing attachment points making impossible to reach them in EVA if they are hid behind other part like a docking port

-Kerbal Joint Reinforcement: Are you tired of rocket wobble? This mod will help you, it makes rockets more stable.

Pros: Less wobble

Cons: None

-B9 Aerospace pack: Adds a lot of new parts such as cargo bays, wings, jet engines...

Pros: More parts

Cons: Maybe too much parts. XD

-Nova Punch: A great mod if you want even more engines and fuel tanks.

-ISA Map: It allow creating maps form the surface of the planes/moons

Pros: add maps and a new function to probes

Cons: It could be more usefull

-Stretchy SRB: A great mod, it adds liquid fuel tanks and srb that you can edit to the height and widht, you can also change tank´s texture by pressing 't'

Pros: It helps you saving ram because after installing this you can delete all the tanks of the other mods and play only with these ones

Cons: It "reduces" the engeenering part of the game because you can make tanks of all the sizes.

-Active texture managment: This is one of the best mods of KSP not because it has lots of new funcionalities, just because it helps players like me who have a 32 bit computer and wanna play with mods

Pros: It reduces the RAM used by the game.

Cons: It also reduces the texture size so worse textures, it also takes some time to load

-Real Chutes: This mods adds new customizable parachutes, you can make apollo style three parachutes and config the opening time, autocut height...

Pros: It improves the parachute control

Cons: I had some problems with the simetrical parachutes

Thanks for sharing this, I like how you added pros and cons to consider!

[KSK]

Agreed, thanks for sharing. I think this thread might work better in General rather than Fan Works though.

[Rainbowtrout]

Or in the Addons Section.

[manuelasa1999]

I have to update it to 0.23.5 and add some mods

[EDIT]: Updated

Ferram adds space station parts.... >.<

Ferram adds realistic (or at least far better) aerodynamics

You are probably thinking of Fustek

Also, Kerthane? Rly?

(It's spelt Kethane)
