I remember reading something a while back, right after Exodus, that went into great detail on both how probes work with your scanner and how to use them effectively. I can't find the damn thing now.
Are there any "definitive" guides to probe usage? Are there any "best guesses so far" types? Seems to me that a well-trained (skill points and practical skill) pilot could really help out his gang/alliance if he just knew how to work the damned things.

OK. Well the best guide you can have as far as probes are concerned is:
Are you ?
A: - Finding an abandonded ship in safe? If so launch 3 big ones, select its type. Warp to that location, launch the next 3 big ones ... rinse repeat.
B: - Using them in combat to hunt an enemy fleet? Don't even bother. They are too slow, hinder your covert ops too much and too easy to detect (as are you without the cloak).
As a general note, Drones do not need to be launched in a big triangle, you can infact launch them next to each other. After launching you select the type of ship you are looking for and then wait 3minutes. After thats done you will be given a general location to which you warp to and repeat. There are four types of probe drones, so in big systems it can take 12 minutes to find your prey. Whilst you are having to wait 12 minutes, they use the normal scanner and see "probes" appear and warp off. All your time is wasted.
Seriously, these are nothing more than a big, dangerous waste of money and time in PvP. They do nothing but put YOUR (now uncloaked)cloaked ship at risk.
There was a full on probe document in Ships And Modules thread that was sticked but, after searching back 60 pages I could not find it. Shame coz it was good.
Best of luck!
