			'''Probe Launchers''' are heavy weapons available on most [[Starship\|Starships]]. They can be used to identify nearby [[Cosmic Signatures]], as well as to find piloted ships.

	The first thing you need to know about using the probe multiblock, is that the multiblock itself launches probes. This means that your starship will need to be equipped with a [[magazine]]. Additionally, the launcher counts as a heavy weapon, and as such if you have any other heavy weapon on the ship (if possible), you will need nodes. To launch probes, once loaded into the magazine on an active ship, you simple use it like any other heavy weapon, by holding right click. From there after a short delay you will get info on [[Cosmic Signatures]] within a 7500(Recon)/5000 block radius in the system you're in using Scanner Probes, and other [[starship]]s in the same radius if using Combat Probes.

			'''NOTE: Fires from the dispenser not the End Rods''' (think of the end rod as the antenna and the dispenser as the actual launcher). This means the dispenser must have a clear line of sight in the same way other weapons do to fire (at most one block ''directly in front of it'').
