Game mechanics needs purpos.
Description
There is no need for airplanes, no need for rovers, no real need for ore to move from A to B besides missions.
Game needs some mechanics which makes sense for some of gameplay, if you can do everything with rocket, people are not interested doing it with other way than easiest.
- There is no any benefit moving ore from surface to orbit or other planets.
- I don't see any purpose for rovers after done two or couple scans with them per planet/moon.
- Why airplanes exists on game? Where do we need them? Give them purpose.

If you go on Twitch.tv reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram, you can see that many players focus on designing planes and rovers, mostly for the engineering challenge. Some players are drawn to KSP purely for the plane design aspect.

You can refine ore into fuel. I've seen players use this to visit every body with one craft.

As an engineering challenge, but I sort of agree that there's not much incentive.

Contracts, like measuring the temperature above several locations on Kerbin, are designed to be completed using planes.
