It's looking like we might get a game together after all. I'll look forward to it but are there any mods or anything I'll need to get before playing?

No mods are needed.
To be 100% compatible with this forum's game generation interface and the other players, you should use the following Stars-version:
# STARS26JRC4.ZIP
An absolute must in multiplayer-games is a unique serial number, easily received from Ron:
# https://starsautohost.org/sahforum2/index.php?t=msg&th=1 158&rid=1&pl_view=&start=0#msg_29817

There are several helpful tools but you'll not need them at the beginning, so take your time with them:
# The Stars-Wiki is a great source, here the link directly to tools/unitilities.
Of the multitude of tools and utilities I am usually using only 2 and here the probable most common one:
# Stars! Calculator

You seem to have already managed to get Stars going, great, otherwise in this thread there is lots of help:
# Windows 7 64bit
# Windows 10

It boils down to 3 options (all explained in above thread, following some posts which summarize and explain it quite well):
1) virtual PC with windows XP (needs Win 7 professional/ultimate but probably the easiest and best and can be used for many other old games as well)
2) Oracle virtual box
3) DosBox
a) Dosbox by nmid.
b) StarsBox - standalone Stars! + DOSBox by raptor.
If the tree display of the links above is rather confusing, switch to flat view (upper right corner, link in white box).

4) For Linux users, Stars seems to run quite fine with Wine.

And if you want to stat diving into the wealth of helpful articles, best start with Race Design.
