    The player GO does need frequent synchronization of transform but not the probes he launches which can synch half of the time or even less.
    I understand that synch frequency is a project wide setting. Are there methods to lower the synch frequency of specific network viewers ?

    It's not built in at the moment, but it is a nice idea though :)

    You could do a workaround for it to ensure fewer network transmissions. You would put the data of your probes in a specific variable(s). Sync those variables in a script using OnSerializeNetworkView. Set the network view watching the script to ReliableDeltaCompressed. Now, the variable(s) are only synched when they change, so if you make a coroutine which ensures the variable(s) are only "updated" 5 times per second or whatever, you will ensure that they are network synchronized a maximum of 5 times per second.
