~Cool mods~

This is a topic where you can tell people about cool mods you've found. I'll start off with a few:
The Tekkit pack
SDK's Guns
Flan's mod
Futurecraft
TMI/NEI

Can't forget Mo' Creatures.

Humans++ was pretty 1337 back in the day. Ships and Boats is also really good, if you can get around your ship wrecking spontaneously sometimes.

I like the TerraFirmaCraft mod. NOTE: It's REALLY hard.

Not really. Just too complex for its own good :-P

GregTech.
Adds some pretty cool endgame-stuff (also makes a Macerator extremely hard to get if you don´t disable the config)

Zeppelin mod, hands down most useful mod I've seen

Useful? Surely you jest. It's a novelty if anything, like many mods.

No really, of the mods I have use the zeppelin mod is hands down the one I use most and do most with, the remote control system makes it very useful for building Tracey island like concealed entrances and various mobile systems.

Plus most of my shipbuilding/ ship designing, is based upon work I did with the zeppelin mod, only much bigger, it may be a novelty with relation to mods such as Tekkit, but personally I prefer simpler mods (where you just click a button and it does stuff, rather than have to source and supply power using very expensive recipes), and for simple mods, I would say the zeppelin mod is definitely the most useful and fun.

Flans mod is a novelty in SSP, hopefully flan didn't die, he needs to update it to 1.4.x SMP.

So what exactly do you use Zeppelin for that makes it so useful? It doesn't play a major role in shipbuilding, I'd imagine, unless you want to RP building a dreadnought in a nifty construction ship (which admittedly sounds pretty damn fun).

As it is, to each their own, but I'd really like to know.

Flan didn´t die, he actually posted a status update in his mod thread on Nov. 2nd saying that his coding consists of people who are currently occupied with academic work and thus can´t update the mod (Flan says that there were massive changes in Minecraft lately which, combined with the size of his mod, seem to slow down updating extremely)

Actually I've tried ship building in a comstruction ship, it was a station in the end, but it was damned difficult and I gave up, fun though.

However once I tried making a replica of Tracey island (Thunderbords FTW) and used the zeppelin blocks to make a series of hangar doors, all remotely controlled from one control room, which was pretty cool. For a mod that only adds five things, you can do some pretty awesome stuff with it.

For shipbuilding, it can be used to fly anything like a frigate of smaller, which is pretty fun to roam around a world in a frigate, laying waste to all you see.

The massive changes being integrated server/client functions and such.

LJS and I have both been following the Mine and Blade: Commander mod:

It's going to be awesome when Nerdboy finishes it!

Mount and Blade will always be better

I rather enjoy the invasion mod.

I was really sad when Nerdboy discontinued his Mine and Blade: Battlegear mod. That was awesome.

best mod combo?

invasion mod+flans mod+zeppelin mod (for you dropship)+???=Win

That would be fun, the only way it could be better if all those mods were multiplayer.
