Started back playing EM and wondering is their a consensus of must have mods to take EM to the next level?

Very much your own choice . . .
There are more HUD mods than anything else - everything from ultra simple for clear combat through ornate (via gold, leather or wood inlays) all the way back to big chunks of 20th century US fighter displays! There's an excellent new 'large radar' mod (from Nigel_Strange) which is clearer than the original.
There are several sets of mood music depending on what increases your immersion - the latest is NASA's 'music of the planets' - they fed the em output of planets and moons into a sound systhesiser!
I've changed a few sounds (tractor beam a bit more subtle as is the docking sounds), made a few tweeks to the HUD (affichage now has appropriate backgrounds for the position and shield updates, plus a couple more 'cool' displays). There's a nebula mod which is definitely worth having - I love it.
You might like to look at the 'city' mod and the 'detailed cap ships' and detailed 'asteroid' mods, though the originals are very good anyway
but as I started with . . . . definitely very much your choice!
