Favorite mods to use?

[7499275]

Hey everyone! Just came by with a quick question, what kind of mods do you prefer to use?

I'm going to start a new game here soon and wanted some ideas.

Personally I'm a fan of...

-FAR

-RT

-NovaPunch

-B9

-Tac life support

and a few support mods.

FAR, KAS, DRE, TACLS and AntennaRange.

RSS, hands down the best thing to happen to KSP since KSP.

[Redrobin]

FAR and RSS.

[Taki117]

FAR, DRE, AIES Aerospace, RT2, NP, KW, FASA, B9, RealChute, Procedural Parts, Procedural Fairings, TAC LS, TAC FB, Docking Alignment Indicator, RCS Build Aid, KER, ATM. (If you get Procedural Parts you can delete all the tanks from NP, KW, AIES and FASA)

If I had to pick favorites, I'd have to say the one I've gotten the most mileage out of is Kerbal Engineer Redux. I've almost grown dependent on the little readouts it gives. I'm also a rather big fan of Deadly Reentry and RealChutes as well.

There's probably at least twice that that I frequently use and some favorites I forgot, but that's what I recognize from my current main install. If you're curious, there's a few popular mods I never really got into because they didn't really seem to add a whole lot gameplay wise. KW Rocketry and NovaPunch are probably the two big ones there. I've also never used MechJeb, though I understand its popularity among those who are more Mission Controller than pilot. (No debates please.)

I tend to stay away from the parts mods, as I like to challenge myself to build things completely stock. Now, this doesn't prevent me from downloading really cool parts packs that I see, but they never last long. I mainly enjoy the visual enhancement and utility mods, like the clouds and Kerbal Alarm Clock, etc. Lately, my number of mods has gone up incredibly, I now have 43!

Kerbpaint. It makes your craft look all pretty:)
