How about a ship module (maybe costs 1 Titanium and 1 Hyperium), that just adds a lot of probes?
Essentially, like the current Scanning modules, but instead of adding Vision range, they add even more Probes. So, instead of adding +2 vision and +2 probes like the Standard Scanner does, maybe the Probe Bay would just give +3 or +4 Probes. Would make it possible to design Survey ships for Expedition work, with (a) fewer modules total, and (b) without having to put a quarter of the map within scanning range JUST to do that survey work. :)
An additional possibility is to buff probe recovery slightly - 25% faster, for example.
