That's an opinion, not a statement. There are players that enjoy the material scavenging part if it's not grindy. Everything if not correctly balance is bad.
Unlimited probes is bad
Grindy restock probes is bad
Collecting few common material to restock probes is not grindy if in 10 minutes you can find enough materials to restock the probes 5 to 10 times, that's the case for the repair limpets and the SRV refuel for example... They are very cheap in terms of materials.
It's extremely clear from ObsidianAnt's poll that the vast majority of players have no problem with infinite probes, and that's it's just a shouty minority in here which do.
Considering some are complaining that they can't recharge the FSD whilst using the new SS and that will delay them too much and the overall deluge of negative feedback that the new system is going to take too long compared to the current instant honk, one gets the impression that some of the top level explorers don't have a free second to spare - so forcing them to take even 15 minutes to find the right planet then go through the while landing bit, then find the right mats should be totally unacceptable!
Extend Horizons to non-Horizons player. This would bring more benefit than cons... (wings/multicrew and so on...)
Sooner or later this will happen. FD can't support multiple version for too long.
That is also an opinion, not a statement. If people would just stop trying to invalidate opinions by giving other opinions, and realise that it is possible for two people to differ, then this place would be a lot less shouty. Well, that's my opinion anyway
My opinion is opposite of your opinion, so we cancel each other out and thus the probe system remains in its current state.

Only a fraction of players are interested in ObsidianAnt. Eg. I don´t see the point of someone retelling things I know already. So why would I watch those videos. It´s therefore pretty likely that many of those who oppose the idea of magically appearing huge amounts of probes just never knew about that poll.

Now now Duckie, you know logic is not allowed to rear it's ugly head here in DD land …
I watched that series this morning, regarding the statistics he showed that was 63% of the participants
saying infinite probes, but with added craftable "better" probes.
Which translates to having a backup "probing method" without any need for grind and restock (like a simple scan),
but also the option to craft probes that map faster.
Interpreting and setting up polls is an expertise itself.
The answer will not be binary, being infinite or finite,
but inbetween creating interesting gameplay,
not a mind- and meaningless prob-a-geddon.
Here the link to the poll result on OOs vid:

Why the devil not, I've no issues with that at all as a completely separate issue.
It wouldn't effect me thinking infinite probes is a good idea though.
Playing the game with a timer on my head is not a fun approach in my opinion.. I'm more concerned with downtime and placeholders!
As Adam said during the livestream, there are multiple exploration style in the game. Someone wants to rush and someone wants to go deep. A good job would be to find an option that makes everyone happy.
Anyway have you ever collected common materials? All planets got them, not only specific ones, and multiple outcrops pop up every minute. The time spent in collecting material is recovered by the quick discovery of the new scanner anyway so I wouldn't be too much bothered in time consuming.
Consider instead that repetition generates boredom. The shorter is the game-loop the more frequent is the repetition, therefore the quicker is the boredom. Anything added to the game will extend this loop.
And it's also extremely clear that the same majority is not even bothered with the synthesis

You got it, it's all about opinions!
People commit mistakes when they want to dictate the universal truth
And it's also extremely clear that the same majority is not even bothered with the synthesis
OPTIONAL synthesis if I read correctly (for enhanced probes).
Indeed. Optional synthesis for enhance probes - whatever "enhanced" means.
This means that most players are happy with the default infinite probes arrangement. And I stand by what I say - it's the shouty minority on the forums which are against infinite probes. Probably the same ones FDEV bent the knee to with the ADS/System map frack-up.
That's not true. The poll shows the majority want infinite probes on the stock DSS but finite probes on engineered DSS. So the majority want BOTH options in the game.
You need to get your facts correct:
It means that most people watching OO and voting in that poll have chosen those options.
OO's viewers are not the whole playerbase.
Sadly OO's poll did not include alternatives to launching probes.
Let me ask you a simple question...
If you have unlimited probes in the game since the release of 3.3, which means automatic upgrade... would you bothered if there is also the same scanner with limited and craftable probes? (in my vision it would be the basic scanner). Would the presence of this basic scanner in the game interfere with your exploration?
