Upgrade Overhaul about kct HOT 2 OPEN

If you move down the road of a tech tree, and to avoid duplicating a UI/hassle with a UI, does it make sense to integrate it into the stock tech tree system? Potentially making use of TechManager and/or TED - KSP Tech Tree Editor

Specifically thinking of something like anonish describes in this post where you could have the KCT tree be and addon to the rest of the overall tech tree. That would require you to progress a certain to certain milestones before various VAB/SPH upgrades can be unlocked.

That would be very awesome indeed! Then I can easily tie things to other tech if I wanted to (i.e. must unlock plane parts before upgrading SPH too much) and it looks like I can have my own tech tree entirely in addition to the stock one. I know I could easily have upgrades cost science then, but having it cost funds is an additional hurdle. There is the part purchases feature, but that is disabled in everything but hard mode I believe (unless you enable it separately).

Either way, that is definitely a possibility and helps the Stock-like feel come about.
