From what i see, alien civs. have been discussed a million times, but i thought that there could be a such feature as microbial or very simple alien lifeforms on other planets. (IE Kelandro floating gasbags on Jool ) Essentially this is my idea: In career mode, after player researches a certain tech which gives him analyzing drills for surface, microscopes on Curiosity like probes (Better say, Kuriosity!) and etc. he can create a vessel or rover which can, as example, land on Duna and collect samples, check how wet it is, search with microscopes and etc. and possibly find microbes or at least tracks of them which will give player amazing amounts of science. And when asteroids will be in game, even search for Panspermia on them. Also, aircrafts could as example, go to Jool and take air samples to find is there possibly microbial life in there, which would give player huge amounts of science too.
