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.

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. It's bonus to cycle time for hacking, archaeology, and salvaging modules means it can be very effective for looting exploration sites as well.

NOTES

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.
