Basic Probe Launcher

Probe Launcher - T1 Version, can be fit on the following:

Shuttle
Transport
Light Freighter
Medium Freighter
Heavy FreighterThis is a smaller version of the advanced multiblock. This probe launcher can only use Scanner Probes, the recipe is listed below.

Advanced Probe Launcher

The Advanced Probe Launcher gets additional combat capabilities in addition to the basic scanning abilities of the Basic Probe Launcher, with the ability to fire combat probes as well. This is the T2 Version, and can be fit on the following:

Probes

Scanner Probes can be crafted using 1 gold nugget and 1 iron nugget in a shapeless recipe.

Combat Probes can be crafted using 1 iron nugget and 1 aluminum ingot in a shapeless recipe.

The probes are a stackable item and must be loaded into a starship magazine to be usable.

Using The Probe Launcher

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 right clicking a few times. From there you will get info on Cosmic Signatures within a 7500 block radius in the system you're in using Scanner Probes, and other ships in the same radius if using Combat Probes.

-The probe is a new multiblock which will be added in the [[Dominion Update]]. They are arguably one of the most important new multiblocks as alongside the new [[Core Forge]], it will be key to crafting the new T2 ship multiblocks. The probe will help you to find new minerals (Scordite, Vanadium, and Zircon) that are used in T2 cores as well as [[Assembly Cores]]<!-- I assume these will get their own page but im unsure. -->, a core component in many new multiblocks.
-This page may get deleted depending on decisions regarding it's use as a heavy weapon (technically) and the condensing or spreading out of info on such multiblocks.

There is a small list of ships it can be fit on, currently expected to be the T1 [[Transport]], [[Light Freighter]], and [[Barge]], and the T2 [[Scrambler]], [[Recon Fighter]], [[Black Ops Frigate]], [[Missile Cruiser]], and the [[Industrial Command ship]]
