 Swath EProbe Explore
It seems this will use all available on-hand credits? Am I missing something about the number of eprobes it will buy?

 Re: Swath EProbe Explore
You should be able to set the # your buying based on what the ship holds as well as how much cash you have on hand

 Re: Swath EProbe Explore
You set the number it will buy each time it lands on SD (No more than you ship can hold). Beyond that, it will keep running until you run out of money.

 Re: Swath EProbe Explore
If your are worried about it using all your cash and your don't have a citadel to stash some in then you can just buy a ship or two before you start probing. Then sell off the ship(s) when you are done.

 Re: Swath EProbe Explore
You can lose money doing that tho. If you have a corpie, why not bank cash on him/her (assuming your dock bank is already full)? If you don't have a citadel and don't have a corpie, probing is probably the least of your worries...
