Getting back into SC, haven't played in quite a while, Mod Suggestions

Haven't played SC since I believe 0.94? Maybe 0.93, but i've heard since then there's been some very interesting things and felt like getting back into it.

Specifically, any good mods that expand the roster for Lowtech ships and weapons in specific? Haven't quite kept up with the modding scene, though I remember classics like Nex, for example.

Faction mods are fine too, if you like them quite a bit and sell them to me well. I'm fine with a heavier modlist

Bonus points if they have lowtech carriers (or at least the vibe of them), since I remember carriers mostly being a High Tech/Midline thing even in mods back when I played.
