Suggestion: Don't congratulate me before I do anything

[HebaruSan]

I'm poking around R&D in a fresh campaign just to see what's there and how it works in practice, and I see this in the lower left:

I have not even been to the VAB, let alone launched anything or collected any science points. I am indeed excited to try out the parts that are available, but "Congratulations!" is the wrong tone this early. Maybe suppress this whole panel for the first free node, since "REQUIRES:" and "COST: 0" don't really tell me anything I need to know either?

you will soon learn that Kari Kerman is a very enthusiastic character.  This message isn't entirely out of character for her.

Well, you do technically own the technology in the first node on Tier I.  So, congratulations, you now own this technology.

That made me laugh. Thanks!
