The video is ideal to start with but as you get faster and more confident, you can skip certain steps such as how he deactivates probes. It gets to the point where you drop 4 probes and just use SHIFT to move and increase/decrease its radius and move them. You use the directional scanner to find roughly where they are and can just dump you probes there. Im at the point where i can scan down a ship such as a interceptor or a Dictor in under 30 seconds using directional scanner and under 1 minute if they aren't in range of that.
