Adventures in Kerbal Space

On Deck For Trial
LackLuster Labs & Stock Extension
Spaceplane Plus
ZeroscienceContracts
Mission Controller Extended
Biomatic Biome Sensor

Top Gameplay Priority Mods
KW Rocketry
Ferram Aerospace Research -
Deadly Reentry - 
TAC Life Support -
Interstellar-
Fine Print -
Mission Controller Extended
RealChute
Space Shuttle Engines - this is a neat and tidy pack of parts that fit well into stock, despite their name.  I am finding them useful for building

Lower priority 
Station Science -the stations and the contracts for them are both boondoggles
Dmagic Orbital Science
ScanSat
Infernal Robotics
Universal Storage (needs update)

HomeGrownRockets - I'm lukewarm on this in some respects, but like the 2 man pod and the soyuz/vostok style pod, and the low profile RCS pods.  The 1.75m tanks are cool, and I'm using them with KW 1.25 engines, but his engines are pretty dull and kind of...don't provide choice and gameliness

RemoteTech2 - Seems like it may be causing some physics errors.  I am really, really struggling to get the satellites to network, and the lack of good tutorials and documentation is getting to me.  I do enjoy the mission planning and figuring out how to pack multiple sattelites into one launch.

Not installed but thinking about it:
Orbital Kolonization Modular Kolonization
Taurus HCV
Near Future SpaceCraft (32 bit only...waiting on that)
Airbags 

Kerbal Attachment System, if things get updated
B9 aerospace, if things get updated


Science Value Edit -- (we are getting a lot more experiments, neccessarily the value of each will likely need scaling)



Gameplay
Enhanced NavBall
KER (Kerbal Engineer Redux)
Docking Port Alignment Indicator
