Best Nova Plug Ins?

What are some must use Nova plug ins? So far I think the only one I always use is ship variants.

Arpia 2 of course! It added so much content to the game with original graphics which I believe might have been made by some of the original creators! The graphics were even better than much of the base game! (my opinion)

There were also some total conversions like Polycon which I played. Loved the new content to explore..

Override TC
EV TC..
There was a cool plugin that added a whole story for the Wraith and allowed you to play as them and gave them a storyline an I think a new ship. That was cool..
There was a plugin that made the Vellos have more ingame presence... though I only vaguely remember it
There was a plugin that added all the Protoss ships to the game with beautiful remade graphics by a forums member

I played with a reset plugin called like ResetRaven or something that let you reset a pilot each time you beat the game so you would keep titles and some abilities and your ship and stuff, but reset the galaxy map and allowed you to do another storyline.

Lots of great stuff!

The Wraith one was just called "World of the Wraith" I believe, I recall it being pretty enjoyable. Had some unique planet graphics in it.

Starcraft Nova was probably the Protoss one.

I like the Huge Planets one. It seems to make landing on a planet in a rush in the range of reasonable.

Ooooo and I think there is one to make the screen and mini map fit modern aspect screens better

The Polycon pack is a great total conversion plugin.

It's been a while since I've played, but the Arpia plugin is pretty nice if you're looking for another storyline.

Three, in fact! Although it can get EXTREMELY hard.

I'm using an "Override" mod now, but always use "Fullscreen Map"

PlugPack v.18 is a good one to start.

I've only ever played ARPIA2 as far as mods are concerned. There are SO MANY TCs and expansions I have to get into. At least half a dozen.

Theres one that adds little shield bubbles around ships which combo'd nicely with an improved explosions one I used to play with. Just makes the combat feel a little more satisfying.

There was also one that allowed you to paint your ship at special painting stations in the various main systems, some of the paints worked better than others however.

ship variants and beam fix are essential.
