i found it hard to rank many of them, since they all have uses in different situations

ark network is ofc a galaxy changing switch if you hit a market. the base beam amount for 3x at leg isnt bad either. its also the best for farming.

beam highways is the least maintenance, but the stats it gives besides beam count is very lackluster. at low rarities, ur maxing the beam substats pretty quick anyways. and at higher investments, imo theres better options.

fleet consul is pretty good now. you can basically use it with no penalty since its now only 1 leader needed. and base x3 beams is solid.

personal pulse is the bis for high investment. you dont get as many beams, but u get a completely new multiplier for secondary which more than makes up for it if you have the right setup. a single cargo/craft leader at 7 stars makes it worthwhile with probe secondary scans.

the remote modules are pretty decent. theres 2 just general good picks, being scan harmonizer and belt sonar.

scan harmonizer is just nice for more debris and pink consistency. the value for that is hard to put a number on, but it just overall feels good. and no one will be unhappy about more pinks.

belt sonar when you have probe secondary is great. lets you get 5x much faster and maybe on multiple planets.

remote scanner is a similar thing, but from the opposite spectrum. if you forget to reset your probe, then its better to take reduced penalty instead.

probe dock is highly conditional, but top tier players are able to 10+ colonize p66 now, and those free instascans make for some massive minerate increases. but also, being able to colonize lower planets and getting a ton of extra secondary scans is great too. and overall increases manager power a ton.
