Add-on Try Outs!


KSP is a great game by its self. How ever there is room for add-ons. Before we can begin our mission we need to decide which mods we are going to use. Unfortunately many add-ons are still in beta. So we are going to have try outs!

Mechjeb2: Pass:Mechjeb is our friend. We are going to use Mechjeb every chance we get

Enhanced NAV ball: Pass: An add-on that needed to be made, very useful

Procedural Fairings: Pass: Integral parts in many ship designs used at the Space Academy

Deadly Reentry: Pass: Burning up in reentry. They worry about that in the movies right? Good so will we

Crew manifest: Pass: Everything you ever wanted to do with your crew and more

Haystack: Pass: Very Usefull

Tac Fuel Balancer: Pass: Deemed useful
