Narcissuss Uaelb	Posted - 2009.03.20 19:26:00 - [1] So with the change to scanning and moving the probes around, is it worth training astrometrics V for deep space probes? Cheers and thanks.
Tippia Raddick Explorations BlackWater.	Posted - 2009.03.20 19:28:00 - [2] Yes. Very yes. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in =v=… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Xindi Kraid Gene Works	Posted - 2009.03.20 19:39:00 - [3] Right now I think its the ONLY astrometrics skill you should train to V. It will let you launch 8 probes and also grants acess to the Deep space probe which has a larger scan radiu, and (I think) a stronger signal strength. -Xindi Kraid: Delivering acerbic wit and scathing comments with just a dash of 'stab you in the eye'
Haradgrim Tyrell Corp INTERDICTION	Posted - 2009.03.20 19:46:00 - [4] Yes, if only for deep space probes -- Originally by: CCP Oveur Just donæt forget the reach-around.
Jeran Tek Real Nice And Laidback Corporation Sc0rched Earth	Posted - 2009.03.21 11:45:00 - [5] Yes for the ability to lock down two echoes at a time with 8 probes out (since more than 4 on one site is useless).
Che Molex	Posted - 2009.03.22 16:57:00 - [6] Edited by: Che Molex on 22/03/2009 16:58:44 . Yes - as said above A) Deep Space Probes require Lvl-5 b) It addes to max probes deployed and c) Even in a 0.6 system with a Buzzard I've already had signitures my Lvl-4 char could not lock. On one I had 7 core probes at near point-blank and only could get 84% signal.

On one I had 7 core probes at near point-blank and only could get 84% signal. Then you're doing it wrong. Oh, and only 4 probes contribute to the scan strength if you have more on it you're time and making it harder to get. But yes you should, the expanded radius is a huge benefit. And despite a lower scan strength they actually work better for all radii other than 0.25 AU, which they can't get down to anyway.
Durindana Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2009.03.23 22:29:00 - [8] wtf is up with this "Don't **ing use more than 4 probes on a signal!! *!" meme that's popping up all over the damn place? I smell stupid repetition by uninformed people. YES, the system only uses 4 probes to test a single signal. NO, using more than 4 probes does not auto- your scan. Since you don't know where the the signal is, you don't know that your 4 probes are "optimal;" a fifth or a sixth (in a point-up cube formation, for instance) could well provide additional "optimal" probes where one or more of your initial 4 were in the wrong **ing place. So stfu with that please

So stfu with that please I love how you're so incoherent with rage. I'm not talking about narrowing down a location. When you're at 84% you know where its at, its easy to put 4 0.25 AU probes on it. When someone tells me they tried putting probes on a site when they have it at 84% that tells me they either didn't go and make either the square or tetrahedron. Yes 6 probes with a tetrahedron can improve your strength but only if you've failed at properly positioning 2 other probes.

So stfu with that please So how many ing probes does it ing take to auto- your scan then. It ing sounds like ing fun. I'll shut the ** up now I think.

Skarned Diplomatic Disruption Chain of Chaos	Posted - 2009.03.27 02:38:00 - [15] Quote: Deep Space Scanner Probe I and its variations have had their strength reduced. I saw that in the patch notes. How are deep space probes now?

I saw that in the patch notes. How are deep space probes now? I see no more use for them unless you're trying to find ships in very deep safe-spots. They're no more powerful than core probes at a given range.
