I think we could do with some T2 cruiser hulls designed for scaning and probing, the only real cruiser hull deisnged for the job is the Stratios wtich is faction means you got to learn 2 race ships plus it weapons systems it uses (drone and lazer) means the likes of miminatar and caldri have alot more traing time to get in to them than Amar/Gallente. As well as give exploration user more ships to use.

I would like to see ether a new veration of ships for scaning or possalby makeing the force recons class ships have bounse to probes seen as there more scout ships the the other T2 Cruiser hulls

3 reasons off the top of my head why this is unnecessary.

1. It takes far less time to train for a pirate ship than a T2, as you only need racial cruiser 1 for a pirate vs racial 5 for a T2.

2. If you already have racial cruiser 5, then just use a T3 as it already fills that hole.

3. There are already at least 10 ships, most likely more, that can be used for exploration. Why do we need another?

Support. Or just remove the t3 cruisers from the game and use the hills as t1 multi purpose explorer ships.

Because there is no dedicated combat exploration probing ship without going into T3's. And T3's are actually meant to be 'generalist' hulls, not have specialities that no T2 has. They are just meant to be able to redirect their bonuses around but be not as good as a T2 at each particular task.

Instead we have the T3 as the undisputed king of combat exploration and combat probing.

This is the law of ship progression!
