Hello all,
Just wondering if there's a problem with scanning probes on the test server or if it's just something I'm doing wrong. I've used them on Tranquility before with no probs.
Anyway, here's the deal. The lifetime of the probes (10 minutes for Fathom probes, 5 minutes for Snoops) is shorter than the Analysis time (10 minutes, even with Survey level 4 which cuts scanning time supposedly), so when I click the button for Analysis, it always aborts right about the time one of the fathom's expires, giving me no results. Even on ship scans in the FD system where I *know* there are tons of ships around. I've launched 2 Fathoms 10AU apart (Kali will no longer allow you to have more than one probe per sphere---which btw looks very nice on the system map), since the system isn't big enough for 3....So anyway my question is, how can I reduce the analysis time so that it's shorter than the probes lifetime?
Or is the whole thing just bugged yet?

Edited by: Warlord Zinji on 19/11/2006 15:44:28 I was playing with it last night could only get it down using a covert ops (to 5 mins) but i just jumped in dropped one 40 au probe and found 4 ships and the one in a mission spot i was hunting
I know 5 mins can seem like a long time but sometimes the old way used to take longer then that to find them find 3 places to scan and then scan
the 40 au probe put me on target and put me outside the targets scan range i dont know if this is final but i geuss there still tweaking it

Okay, at least using 1 probe works. But what did you mean you got it down to 5 minutes using a covert ops? Did you mean a covert ops ship? Or some special probe (40 AU one?--whats the name of that one, I didnt see it listed?)

Your using the wrong probe launcher, there's now two. I think the recon launcher is the one you want, it has a scan time of around 70 seconds depending on skills. --------------
