Maybe we'll find the USS Voyager and her annoying captain Janeway...

you won't need nearly as many anymore as you now will be able to scoop the probed back in after use and use them again any number of times.

---

I would imagine that's within the probes lifespan of course.

They will have a limited lifespan like current probes yes but that timer is reset when scooping them back in so you can reuse unlimited times. And if you crash/disconnect you can resume control of the probes when you get back in.

Seems the major reason for this is to make it less likely you get stuck in W-space. As long as you brought a probing ship you should always have enough probes to find a way back at least.

I guess you will lose some probes from time to time (forgetting or not having time to scoop them) but I think 100 probes will last you several months, unless you are extremely forgetful.

I'm curious what'll happen to my Sister's Launcher and my thousands of probes?

I do suggest you start selling off your probes. While they will be converted to the new types of probes you won't need nearly as many anymore as you now will be able to scoop the probed back in after use and use them again any number of times.

I don't think we have to worry about all the newbies circumventing the skill training a lot of us have done. What I gathered from the post is that worm holes are going to be a one way street. It won't be easy to drag around different ships to explore and run the sites. One ship is going to have to do it all, so the fitting is going to change to show that.

Also, I'm sure there will still be hacking, arch/salv, mining and combat sites. Where else will we be getting T3 bpcs from.

Looking forward to it.

Well we are going to change that. We are going to give you uncharted, unknown places to visit via paths that shift and slide through the fabric of space. We are going to give you thousands of new solar systems which will contain new NPC's, new exploration content and new pockets of resources to exploit. You will have the chance to venture into places that promise great rewards but also bring with them great risks. We are going to establish the untamed frontier that lurks at the fringes of known space and into which brave souls bent on conquest and riches will venture with high hopes. Some will return as heroes, some will return as fresh clones spewing from the medical vats. Some may never return at all.

There is also the chance that you could stumble across a route through wormhole space that links two widely separated areas of known space and gives you a lucrative, fast trade route for as long as the wormholes stay open. Or perhaps the route leads into the backyard of your sworn enemy...at which point you may be faced with the question of what ships to send through to maximise the potential of the mass allowance the wormholes possess.

"There will be two new probe types, exploration and combat. Exploration probes will not be able to locate ships and drones"

stupid.... The whining mission runners finally got there way again ehh... Better make deadspace not dampen stuff anymore then ;)

*just the whole sound of this is kinda bad... imo they should leave the scanning mechanics alone and just introduce a wormhole launcher and/or wormhole probe(s). Sounds like WAY too much change to me. Why not add "wormholes" to multispec results, and let people go from there or something. Christ.. this is bad.

All sisters launchers (of both kinds) will be converted to a sister version of the new ship finding launcher. The ship finding launcher will also be able to use exploration probes and will as such be better than the exploration launcher on all acounts (except fitting).

I do suggest you start selling off your probes. While they will be converted to the new types of probes you won't need nearly as many anymore as you now will be able to scoop the probed back in after use and use them again any number of times.

At the time of writing it is NOT possible to probe for cloaked ships. Latest information on the subject says it won't be possible until the planned full rework of the scan system is put in place.
