What Exploration Still Needs

Cherry picking could be fixed by removing the cargo scan ability. But i would only welcome this if bpc's are moved into parts or material containers for relic sites because otherwise a solo explorer would never get one.

Data site loot could be buffed by removing data cores from FW shops (they make no sense there anyway) and reducing their physical volume.

I really don't want them to remove the cargo scan ability. I think that cherry picking should be a valid play style, since it means scanning down more sites rather than playing more of the hacking minigame. Its the same as only running data sites or relic sites (remember when we used to ignore mag sites completely?)

Datacores could be lower volume, and that would be nice, but I think this expansion is very well polished in the area of exploration in general. If datacores aren't profitable, then just cherry pick the BPCs.

I've seen the idea thrown about that there not be any useless loot and that non-junk loot should be spread around different spew cans. I don't like this idea, because it would make it really hard to keep track of what you have gotten from the spew, and what you still need to pick up. As it stands now, I look at the little icons that pop up over the cargo button to see what I have gotten, and I know from cargo scanning what I still want to pick up. Splitting the loot would make that sort of on-the-fly determination of what cans I still need impossible.

I'm still hoping for some good drops! We'll see what happens to decryptors in the future, right now they seem to have a price estimate way above what they actually sell for, but that is true of all exploration loot.
