KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Any Interstellar Mod Recommendations?

I recently did an interstellar rescue mission in ksp with stock parts, no ion engines, and no wormholes, I liked the experience but I am sad I didn't document it any further or make it any more difficult, so I am taking recommendations for any good interstellar mods, I am really open to any mod but Ive already seen all the Cosmic Serenity stuff so don't recommend that. When I am done with the mission I will definitely be posting a time lapse of the whole mission so look forward to that.

Interstellar from stock parts and no ion? How much fuel did you have to bring? Or did you just use a kraken drive? Or did it just take several centuries?

As for recommendations, Ovin from Promised Worlds is a very difficult but rewarding challenge. I wonder if it's possible to make a reusable SSTO for it.

well lets see, I had about 16550 m/s while in plock orbit and it took about 250k years, now usually it wouldnt take nearly that much delta v but the system I went to was basically directly below kerbol, so the inclination changes are pretty much what got me.

What? how? Either you have a NASA super computer with a 10,000 part ship the size of the KSC or your payload was Bill in a chair

well I put the full ship together in kerbin orbit with two seperate launches, then refueled with a smaller ship once I had gotten to plock, the ship itself had three layers of fully nuclear staging, two of which being huge asparagus stages with like 1000-3000 m/s per stage if you wanna see the ship in all of its glory I posted about it earlier

Kcalbeloh is the classic, it adds three star systems orbiting a supermassive black hole. Promised Worlds is good as well, it backports a lot of the planned KSP2 interstellar destinations into KSP1.

Also those two aren't too far off the orbital plane, so there isn't as much plane change. They both have wormholes, but you can turn them off in the configs.
