Recommend me mods for X3:TC

As the topic mentioned, I'm looking for mods that would enhance the gameplay. Something along the lines like Arma II + ACE/SLX mod. Or should I stick with the original settings? Just got the game for $6 from Steam! :D

Best to ask this in egosoft forums. Also depends on what you wanna do, there are quite a lot of different mods/scripts for X3TC.

Play through on its original settings though and do some of the plot stuff I guess. Some mods can mess up with plots.

Some mods that I used to play with was -

Improved boarding, missile defense mk2, npc bailing, pirate guild, yaki armada, anarkis defense system, MARS, ship rebalance and either improved race or military base response (both simulate "wars" or skirmishes between AI races). Also a cheat script just in case a mod screws with something.

These are just some personal preferences. Also bunch of other mods I used which I cant remember.

Humm...good idea. I'll check out the forums, but for now I'll probably just play the vanilla version to understand the gameplay 1st.
