Minmatar Republic Standard Frigates Probe Class RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES EVE Online Ships Overview EXTERNAL LINKS Probe on zKillboard Probe on EVE Workbench Probe on Janice Probe on EVE Ref Probe on Eve Online Wiki

Development The Probe is large compared to most Minmatar frigates and is considered a good scout and cargo-runner. Uncharacteristically for a Minmatar ship, its hard outer coating makes it difficult to destroy, while the limited weapon hardpoints force it to rely on drone assistance if engaged in combat. SHIP BONUSES Minmatar Frigate bonuses (per skill level): 7.5% bonus to Core and Combat Scanner Probe strength 5% reduction in Salvager duration Role Bonus: 5+ bonus to Relic and Data Analyzer virus strength Required Skills Minmatar Frigate I16m Spaceship Command I8m Training Time what's this? 25m 0s Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Probe is the Minmatar Tech 1 exploration and scanning frigate. It is a good ship for rookies or veterans who are getting into probing and don't have the skills for the T2 version, the Cheetah. Its bonus to cycle time for hacking, archaeology, and salvaging modules means it can be very effective for looting exploration sites as well.

• T2 the nanofibers if money and skills allow.
• Should be able to permarun the MWD. Swap the relay for a nofiber if so.
• Can fit combat and core scanner probes.
• The hornets *might* save you if you're tackled at a gate, if you deploy them in time and get a jam off.

NOTES

NOTES

• Prototype Cloaking Device I is a cheaper alternative to Improved Cloaking Device II but reduces speed while cloaked.
• Low slots can be modified to pilot preference:
• - Inertial Stabilizer provide increased maneuverability at the expense of reducing time to be locked
• - Nanofiber Internal Structure provide increased maneuverability and speed at the expense of reduced structure hitpoints
• - Can swap in Warp Core Stabilizer to negate warp disruption/scrambler effects at the expense of shorter targeting range and longer lock times

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

NOTES

• Sister's Expanded Probe Launcher can be used for additional scan strength but is an expensive module for hero/suicide tackle
• To avoid jumping into the fray take a command position in fleet, toggle "exempt from fleet warp", then warp squad/fleet to the signature scanned down
• Switch one rig to Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade II and replace the other with Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II to keep similar scan strength and increase warp speed to reach the target faster (+1.25 AU/s)

Tactics

While not designed for combat, one can still combat fit an exploration frigate to catch unsuspected lone gankers off guard. When fitting for combat, as other races' exploration frigates, the Probe has a severe shortage of power grid while having a huge CPU reservoir. Plus the ship has no bonus to guns or missiles, it is best to fit missile or rockets to save on power grid for prop and repper. The large CPU left over can then be used to fit a range of damage, resist or ewar mods.

Notes

This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
