A Quote from Cmdr Wyvern:
"Someone mentioned hardware capabilities, and that's a good point worth expanding on."
Uhm... "here"? °points at topic° This is about OXPs.
Yes, it is about oxps. But your hardware horsepower has a bearing on what oxps you can run, and/or how many, without getting framedrops or weird graphical effects. That was my point, see?

Not to mention that "addon" is kinda the opposite of "essential".
"Essential" is kind of subjective here. You can play Oolite 'naked' without any oxps, turn on strict mode which disables oxps, or you can download and install a ginormous list.
Whatever rocks your ooniverse. Personally, I fly with the ginormous list option, including heavily shaderfied objects, because I can.
Running Oolite buttery smooth & rock stable w/ tons of eyecandy oxps on:
ASUS Prime X370-A
Ryzen 5 1500X
16GB DDR4 3200MHZ
128GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Boot drive)
1TB Hybrid HDD (For software and games)
EVGA GTX-1070 SC
1080P Samsung large screen monitor
As Lingophiliac i feel the need for some clearance:
"Essential" is defined as
1. A necessary ingredient.
2. A fundamental ingredient.
However, to not let this turn into a war...
kneecaps, i found having the fuelstation.oxp combined with the
witchcraft...errrm witchdrive fuel injector ( included in oolite )
as very helpful for beginners, because it allows you to tactically
retreat from a pursuing enemy. without it, you might end up
as a collection of crystalized red drops in space.

I am SHODAN.
How can you say this ?
