I am playing GOF 2.5 Supermod right now. It is GOF2 with some additions, mainly the music and some ships. You can choose from several different music packs which helps keep the game fresh.
My other install is GOF2 with the 2.1.5 pack added. This plays very well and might be my favorite version as it is the most customizable.
You really should look at the Black Knight's section and grab what you see there that interests you. I really like his music pack. It emphasises the bass line and I have headphones with added bass, so I am a happy camper. There are also a lot of hirez addons too. Oh, and the wide screen spyglass is a necessity for ALL versions of COAS.
