try to play a career of several missions, get killed, come back to life, get your sea legs back.
then try TMO 2.5 or RSRD or both together or play FOTRSU.
that is what i would suggest.
whatever you decide, good luck.

I can say with a high degree of certainty that I won't want to play the vanilla version of the game. Its been a while, true, but even when I first got the game I think I only played about an hour with vanilla before I decided it wasn't for me and started piling realism mods on...
That said, it sounds like FOTRS is somewhere on the spectrum between vanilla and TMO, but closer to TMO, so I might try that one out.

I want to release and be mostly done with modding for a while until something big comes a long i.e. the officers quarters and other compartments are available. At minimum I may release the core of the upgrade, which are updated campaign traffic files and the ship packs required.
TMO 2.5 is the latest version of TMO, I believe 1.7 has a later date believe because it was loaded up by another member for those who wanted older version if I recall (could be wrong) , but 2.5 is the latest version of TMO.

As I said in the reply above, it sounds like FOTRS is somewhere between vanilla and TMO in realism, but closer to TMO, is this a valid assessment? If so, I might jump for that until your version of TMO is available. On a different note, are people actually developing things like the officers quarters / other compartments like you mentioned? Seems like the game would be in at best a maintenance state at this point, things getting updated like you're doing, but not really adding anything new...
