Research, How is it going to be Handled?

I would like a tech system like Civ V where everything is linked together, but more like Endless Space where you have 4 branches. But the best idea I have heard so far is:

I won't go into details on what I think the tech tree should be. Lots of good ideas have already been posted.

What matters to me is that whatever is done in regards to research, that it allows the player to devise and execute a strategy on how to beat the game within the campaign mode mechanics. For example;

* Will you invest in safety to run a high reputation space program so as to secure a safe flow of public funding?

* Will you invest in dangerous heavy lifting tech to do the private sector missions that have big payoffs?

* Will you invest in tech to run a very efficient low cost space program, that makes most use of part re-use?

* Or will you focus on tech to make money out of selling precious resources that can only be mined on other planets?

I like the sound of this. Research unlocking completely different styles of play.
