Viewable surface samples in the Science Archives

[Felsmak]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could go back to the Science Archives and actually look at all the surface samples you've collected? You know, as physical objects rather than boring lines of text? I think so!

It would definitely not be a very important feature, but I still think it would be fun to have a little private trophy collection to look at when there are no interesting contracts available. It could potentially have some psychological benefits as well. Make the players feel that they've actually accomplished something, or something.

I threw this image together in a few minutes. It's pretty ugly, but at least it shows you the basic idea.

I agree. This would add some sort of use of the archives. Besides seeing where you go

This would be a cool little touch. I approve.

That's a great idea to reward science when the tech tree is already finished. I'd suggest creating some little Object for each of the science experiment. Like photos, diagrams, maps, material and goo sample etc. So for each place there is a shelf filling up with things as you bring home more data from there.

And finally, an interface to add images for modded experiments...

this would be neat! There's really a ton of room for added graphical bits to spice up the KSC.
