der view. And MechJeb's array of panels, and the extra information they provide, can make it a useful installation even if you aren't running on autopilot.
Install if: you keep pointing your rockets at the sea.
Chatterer
Chatterer has the dual honour of being both one of my favourite Kerbal Space Program mods, and one of the most pointless. It doesn't add any new things to discover, challenges to unlock or parts to try. Instead, it plays radio chatter. Using audio taken from NASA, and remixing it to sound like the nonsense babbling you'd expect from the game's green astronauts, Chatterer adds an extra level of accuracy to your orbital endeavors. Periodically - based on the interval frequency you've chosen - these garbled transmissions will be played, and then, sometimes, you'll hear a beep. It's pretty game changing stuff.
I'm only half joking. The lack of these quiet, stilted communications isn't something you notice until you've heard them used in the game. It's a lovely touch that gives your exploration a more authentic feel. And here's a quick tip for even more verisimilitude: download the proper Quindar tones, as heard during the Apollo Moon landing, and add them into the mod's 'beeps' folder. It's instant space atmosphere.
Install if: you have ears.
B9 Aerospace Pack
Kerbal Space Program's pages of parts can be initially overwhelming, but spend some time with the game and you'll start to see the limitations. This is where parts packs come in. Rather than adding new features, they increase your options and let you pursue more esoteric ship designs.
I haven't spent much time in the game's spaceplane hangar, because strapping giant rockets to a thing is easier than crafting aerodynamic aviation that's capable of achieving orbit. For those that have, the B9 Aerospace Pack is one of the most expansive content collections available. It vastly in
