Mitchell Posted December 4, 2001 Report Posted December 4, 2001 I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong with my probes. Essentially, my 'problem' is that I cannot seem to get them to stay where I want them to. When I try to drop off or send a probe to some system, they insist on continuing on and jumping to adjoining systems without any orders from me. Now, this may be the way they are designed to work (they are designed to 'patrol', after all), but is there any way I can get them to stay put short of ordering them to make 4, 6 or 8 jumps (as the case may be) so they run out of range by the time they reach the system I want them stationed in?My apologies if I am missing something obvious ...
Gallion Posted December 4, 2001 Report Posted December 4, 2001 Don't give a probe the Jump At or after launching them if you want them to stay in the same region that you launched them in.Probes will travel to each navigation point located in a region. This does not cost any of the jumps that a probe can make.Refer to page 22 of the manual for further details.TTFN
Mitchell Posted December 4, 2001 Author Report Posted December 4, 2001 Gallion, thanks - I studied the manual, but I wasn't patient enough: when I saw that the probes were giving themselves targets corresponding to the various Nav points in the system, I aSSumed that meant they intended to jump.It works just as you (and the manual ) say...Thanks again,
