I did a search and could not find specific information on what each type of probe does. Is there a document somewhere someone can point me to?
Space Probes
============
There are 5 types of probes that can be purchased from the devices port. Once you have a probe and you drop it in a sector you can upgrade its sensors,cloak and engines. Information obtained by probes are put in your log files.
You can change the probe type and give it orders:
Stationary Probe - This is a probe that you drop in a sector and it will detect incoming ships and attempt to scan them.
Sentry Probe - This probe works just like a stationary probe however if you bump its sensors to 20 and a ship enters the sector, it will announce the entry in the team shout box.
Warp Probe - These probes wander through warps and when it gets stuck will real space to a different part of the universe and search again.
Realspace Probe - This probe allows you to send it via real space to a specific sector.
Sequential Realspace Probe - This probe will move through real space sequentially until it gets to the target sector.
Note: All probes take a players turns so if you are any probes that move, better upgrade its engines or you will find yourself turn less.
