I started experimenting with probes some over the weekend. I have to say... it was way more complex than what I was expecting.
To be honest, I was thinking the way it worked was to just drop a probe in a roid belt, warp out, turn on the system scanner and wait for a target. Not the case.
Turns out, probes require triangulation and calculating to work. Even once you figure that out its a tricky process or atleast it was for me and very time consuming on top of not being very accurate (target deviation + - 1.0 au)
Seems to me this whole process could be simplified some as in its current state, I dont see the benefit of using these.
Anyone mastered this craft?

Seems to me it doesn't need to be.

You haven't tried very hard, then.
Thanks for your constructive input.
Now run along and rub one out to your latest edition star wars comic book.

It is becoming clear to me why everyone considers these forums to be a joke.
This is a prime example of the quality feeback that you get here.

imagine that, You actually have to do some triangulations, But nooooo, Hey lets just make it "PRES BUTAN" And POOF, theres the guys safespot. Hey why dont you ask them to make it even simpler, and have the probes automatically fly over there and blow up their ship for you. itll save you time pointing and clicking.
what a good idea!
by the way.... stfu

Originally by: HairyGary I'll get right on that. Meanwhile, you go read the section in the player guide devoted to scan probes.
I dont see anything in the user guide dedicated to scan probes.
