I had a handful of mods installed that really made ship building a lot more fun. A couple were just other parts and stuff and I didn't use many of them but you might find a module here and there that was useful, but there was a small one that let you add a 1x1 staircase that you could stack up to like four or five times. Gives you a lot more flexibility in what stuff you want to make.
There's also another free one on the creations deal that expands Walter's ship brand, and the redone habs for those are pretty cool. There's even a storefront in New Atlantis right by the spaceport, just don't run the mod that makes the Viewport hotel a thing, they'll conflict because they're basically in the same space, but the Stroud ship deal is pretty good.
My problem is I always just gravitate towards making the same sort few types of ships. I always end up going and getting the Mantis ship and then I rebuild it, and then I make a heavier cruiser type thing with the bridge that has the staircase. My last playthrough though I kind of stayed in my little mantis frigate, but then I added my bigger cruiser to the fleet with auto turrets and stuff, and anytime I got jumped by the watchtower faction, it would warp in with a couple of other ships to help in the fight. Also having a few other ships with you for the crimson fleet storyline was pretty fun.
I tried a couple of other storyline mods that people made, but they'll screw with the game specifically for the main story because of companion issues. Watchtower I think was one of the problems even though it's really good but you need to get to the halfway point within the game before you really sort of engage that deal, but maybe there's some sort of work around.
