You can right-click scanner probes and save their location and thus warp to them. You can also manipulate their positions on grids.
Instructions:
- open Probe Scanner window, and in that window:
- click "Launch Pinpoint Formation"
- set Probe Size to its smallest value
- click "Center current formation on your ship"
- focus the Solar System Map window, hold Control and spin your scroll wheel down for ~20 rotations
- this further shrinks the formation's size
- in Probe Scanner window, click Analyze
- if multiple probes don't appear on-grid, keep scrolling in Solar System Map and re-Analyzing until they do
- if all 8 probes appear haphazardly positioned instead of 1 above, 1 below, 5 horizontally and 1 inside that shape, you've shrunk too much
- so scroll up a bit rather than down and Analyze again until they're on-grid and usefully spaced
- in Probe Scanner window, save useful formations with the "Save Current Formation" button
Notes:
- other people can save your probes' locations, too!
- at grid scale, single wheel-tick increments can make meaningful changes
- this makes having a Core Probe Launcher in a utility high slot even more useful (and don't forget sixteen core probes in cargo)
