My first impression of reading the Exploration update is an entirely positive one. The new mechanics seem to flesh out the existing ones nicely, giving commanders always something to do but not something that would become annoying. Of course, to fully understand precisely how the new scanning mechanic operates it will have to be seen & tried but it does sound a good step in the right direction.
Regarding USSs, this also sounds like a major quality of life improvement that, if I've understood correctly, will result in commanders no longer spending possibly 30 minutes orbiting planets waiting for a mission USS to spawn (it will appear with the scan). If this is the case it is a most welcome change & will make many mission types a lot more enjoyable imho.
Thanks for the hard work, sounding good,
