I'd love to see a way to automate the ground based geo-survey teams. Give them a ship to ferry them around with orders to drop off teams on bodies yet to be ground surveyed. They would also pick up teams that are reporting as having finished a body.

Steve has asked that people put suggestions like this in the (semi-)official thread, which he uses as a "filing cabinet" when he's looking for things to do. For details, there's a "where should I post" thread in the FAQ section.
Thanks,
John

It could be interesting if one could geosurvey with just survey teams (no surveyor sensor tech) but have the values be wildly inaccurate.
Just a thought as I was sitting time-accelerating through the first couple years to get Trans-Neutonian tech - the early-early game experience could use a bit of padding and it would give folk a reason not to just skip past such time-frames. Especially if survey teams are treated as cargo and not allowed to just teleport to a planet (production - expedition base? Provides eventual (IE: years) semi-accurate mineral readings (maybe 1-3 at max of possible total deposits) and maybe a small pittance of research points?)
Just a thought!
