Progressively better visuals to reward exploration

  1. 1. Should initial probe missions to new planets be visually limited (like having a b&w overlay / film grain) so that the true eye candy is saved for manned exploration?

Appearance isn't the point. To make exploring the planets a mission progression, you need capability.

In KSP1, I had my tech tree unlocked by the time I got through the the Mun and Minmus. For the kind of 'increments' you're talking about? I could take a ship to Duna, with a telescope part, and a detachable orbital probe, go from 0 to 100% in one mission.

One thought I had from the 'Mission Control' image we got today? What if the Science/Colonies were Mission Based? To unlock a certain part, you need a particular experiment/mission completed. To put a colony somewhere, you need to complete the following checklist. Like prospecting. You take a probe to photograph the area, head out in a Rover to check the area, then start landing your colonists.
