===Rearranging Probes===

*~~Holding~~ SHIFT or ALT modifies ~~all active~~ probes ~~at once~~. SHIFT moves ~~them~~ all ~~together~~, ALT makes them zoom in or out around their common center. This allows for some very fast repositioning of probes.

Controls for rearranging probes have recently changed in the Odyssey expansion

*The probe-~~cubes~~ can be clicked and dragged. If you grab the top or bottom, they slide on a horizontal plane, if you grab the sides of the cube, they slide on a vertical plane. This is why every so often you grab the cube and it slides away to somewhere weird- you accidentally grabbed the side of the cube instead of the top.

*By default all probes will move as one constellation unless you hold SHIFT or ALT which modifies how probes are moved. Holding SHIFT moves a single probe instead of all at once, ALT makes them zoom in or out around their common center, useful for pinpointing those sites which are hard to get 100% on. This allows for some very fast repositioning of probes.

To reset the formation press either of the two preconfigured probe-patterns to reset both scan-range and position. This does not however reset probe constellation position in space.
