what are some mods that improve vanilla like ship building, maneuvers, or advanced info for example?

I don't have any mods yet, I just want some useful tool mods to make things better. Trajectories is a good example. Also need something that shows planets current phase angles. But any mods that are useful lmk

Kerbal Engineer Redux, MechJeb, Editor Extensions, RCS Helper, to name a few. There are more, but if you're using CKAN to install them, they should get recommend one after another.

thanks, quick question, ive seen that kerbal engineer was mostly useful for calculating delta v before it was added to the game, what other things is it use for now?

ABCORS is a small but useful mod. Astrogator is like a better version of the stock planner just like how KER is a better version of the stock DV values. This is also slightly off topic but TINU is really good for nice screenshots which might be fun (just remember to disable it when you are not taking a screenshot in the toolbar).
