Ok, here’s my mod list for KSP 1.02 (yes, wall of text incoming! Most of it was created by KSPmodAdmin)
Not ordered in any way I think, and more than half of it isn’t working anymore. Some may not even be needed anymore. And some are just in there but never tested, I just kept them because they sounded interesting.
The list may give you a bit of inspiration.
Also I keep it here so I don’t lose it. 
I’ll check which ones may still be fun/updated in 1.1 soon.
