The probe as a ship has been replaced by the Scout.
Probe is still used as a term for what we imagine is being used for the exploration missions that can be launched from a colony.
A ship hull that is light weight, has no weapons, and no crew. Used for exploration.
One probe is classified as an Explorer.
Two or more, up to 49 is classified as a Sentry.
50 or more probes in a fleet is classified as a Probe Rush.
Probes require Capital Ship Drives to work whereas in the past they used Small Vessel Drives.
