I think with the change to having less planet fluxes would giving equal amounts of flux probes be useful? What would be the purpose of scanning how many ships have scanned your planets if you cannot do anything about it?

I propose to lower the rarity of these to semi rare. Having a few more than planet fluxes makes sense.

All probes should be ultra-rare. When I get cargo/weapon/defense probes, I immediately sell them because they tell us 'nothing' because they don't factor in player crews.

ship probes are usless as all it takes to learn the opponent's ship is a Positron Clouder.

I still find them very useful.
I believe it's important to probe main planets often.

And if you run out of planet flux, you can still buy one from the shop or you can ask a legion buddy for one. You can also set a bigger defense and guard the planet until you flux it.
