Thanks to the suggestions made by Namad, compiled a pack of newcomer-friendly mods, all zipped in one handy file. If any of the mod owners wants their mods removed, please let me know!

Adding faction mods will make combat more varied and challenging and harder to learn.
Adding a radar mod will only make the game easier. Adding one of the graphical mods can make the game easier as pewpew dakka dakka gets new colors to make it easier to tell guns apart by their projectiles.
Nexerelin's features make the sector more dynamic with better wars and market places changing hands permanently.
You can certainly use no mods. If you're going to use any mods though some basic ones are really good at improving the game, the best mods are insanely well polished, akin to vanilla itself. Things like the ship and weapon pack add ships that fill needed in-between niches in the vanilla faction's ships for example.
These are all popular QoL type mods:
- [0.9.1a] Common Radar by LazyWizard
- [0.9a] Lightshow by Tartiflette
- [0.9.1a] Upgraded Rotary Weapons by Tartiflette
- [0.9.1a] Trailer Moments by Nia Tahl
- [0.9.1a] Console Commands by LazyWizard
- [0.9.1a] Combat Analytics by Nick XR
- [0.9.1a] Combat Chatter by Histidine
- [0.9.1a] Audio Plus by Dark.Revenant
These are all user experience mods that don't really change the game at all, they just do things to improve gameplay.
Then if you're using mods you need these mods:
- [0.9.1a] GraphicsLib by Dark.Revenant
- [0.9.1a] LazyLib by LazyWizard
- [0.9.1a] MagicLib by Tartiflette
They do nothing at all, but many mods rely on them.
MagicLib and Trailer Moments won't work well on potato PCs, so be careful.
Enjoy!
