Explore skill vs Aggressively seeking CrewCombat(CC)

[Aimstrong]

After analyzing a thread @ Stream forum where a player refused to take a big boss explorer into his crew I came to the conclusion that if my main goals are crew combat and space combat and want to aggressively gain XP(catch-up with AI or beating AI @ XP gains) using the CC via explore method , I would choose to have as little Explore skill as possible.
This would increase the chances to have -2, -3, -6 CC cards in the exploring minicard game.
I know that some new jobs are in the works(XenoHunter -6 card replacement talent confirmed), but I think the game needs a talent(s) that can help players achieve this(getting -2, -3 CC cards replacement) either:
-new talent @explorer or @exoscout “Scout enemies”
-new talents @ the unrevealed Jobs
If these talents are introduced will at least give player more incentive to get +Explorer in this playstyle.
I don't know if this point of view is consistent with the game vision but it bugs me so I prefer to have a confirmation@TBs. Also any feedback is appreciated.
Cheers.

It is incorrect that you would want to have as little Explorer skill as possible.

OK, that is good news, apparently my premise was wrong from the start.
Which are the factors that help getting -2-3-6 cards currently in exploring CC? (wtb some education )

Information here on Wiki:

startraders.gamepedia.com/Exploring

We will keep trying to improve the documentation.

The assumption in the core case about reducing via Explorer skill is just not accurate, per the Wiki.

[Aimstrong]

So in order to have more chances @ -2-3-6 CC I need to explore @huge planets + max danger (to increase risks) all the rewards factors can be safely ignored(no impact what so ever on chances to get what I want)?
After all this time I'm still a noob at this game... damn.

Right. Explorer skills won't change the mix of cards, just the quality of the Rewards.

You want a bunch of high level Explorers to use their "Re-roll" Talents to re-roll non-combat risks.

Also, you'll find that over time the XP granted from pulling reward cards > crew combat XPs.

And I assume that this(reward factors can be safely ignored if one wants to increase the rating of negative results= increase - by -X/risk factors can be safely ignored if one wants to increase the rating of positive results=increase + by +X ) is consistent all throughout all minicard games Patrol-Blockade-Spy-Black Market.
It's interesting to learn then how minicard decks are built #(number of)- vs #(number of)+ ;players have max 20% influence on the type(- or +) of card presented (1 card in 5 can be removed/rerolled with random/replaced by a dedicated card ) via talents.
Well at least I learned something new today.Thanks Cory.

I don't understand that post, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to try to answer the parts of the question that I did understand.
