Probes seem to lead to survery ships which seem to lead to motherships and cyrosleepers. The derelicts are fun to fight and go *kaboom* in a satisfactionary way. I really like those exploaration objectives.
But i still tend to avoid systems with probes like plague. Why? Because the presence of a single probe seems to indicate the system and neighbouring ones (possibly a quadrant even) to be "probe country", where, at least in my experience, there seems to be a shared pool of spawnable exploration objectives, which gets eaten up by probes, resulting in FAR less research and mining stations. In far less rare loot.
Is it only my bad luck, or does anybode else share a similar sentiment?
