An Economy mode?

[Jestersage]

One of the fun things in Science/Career Mode is the contract, and the resource management with money.

However, while we have Science mode, we do not have the inverse, which I call economy mode -- where tech tree and possibly even flight tools are unlocked, but reputations and funds is the lifeline.

And it's not a bad idea, especially if one want to mimic and modern start up rocket company, where it's likely one can have better technology immediately, but is looking for funds.

I like it.  A similar suggestion came up recently, a variant without the contracts.

There are people who max out the tech tree within first hour of new career save. Or just use the cheat menu to give yourself endgame technology and pretend you didn't.

Same.

How about we improve the modes we have right now and then add new ones?
