Mission parameters to enrich planet exploration

Not sure how plausible this is but I was thinking, since there will be a new mission system and way to progress, what if we could have specialized types of missions to give players a reason to explore planets, such as survey, artifact retrieval or other scientific endeavors. The survey missions could have us utilizing a scanner or maybe even just exploring an area of a planet, maybe collecting samples of flora and fauna and returning them to the origin of the mission. This may give purely exploratory ships a reason to exist with an emphasis on exploratory devices and systems such as the scanner, even POIs some of which could hide old alien artifacts or the remains of human colonization. Leading players to want to turn over every rock, drill into every mountain, go into every cave. It would allow POIs to not become just another rock or mountain, it would keep things interesting.

Anyways just my thoughts on exploratory missions. Thoughts? Considerations? Ideas?
