I found a set of core scanner probes at a site, and after 10 minutes ratting they were still there. So I thought I might find some need for these little lonesome guys.
But surprise, I found no way to scoop them into cargo hold or loot them any way, I was not able to shoot them either. Is there a trick or can’t you “tidy up” abandoned probes?
Nope, you can’t actually interact with someone’s probes beyond d-scanning them.
They’ll despawn after a while, unsure exactly how long though.

I think they stay “in space” for 2 hours. If the owner reconnects with them before that time he can call them back to his ship, if not they go poof.

Unfortunately there is no way to scoop another player’s probes as you can like abandoned drones. The owner of the probes would need to recover them.

Oh my , could you imagine scanning scanners
I for one am glad this isn’t a thing
I was referring to probes where the owner is no longer around (ie. Not even in system anymore). Perhaps I didn’t use the best wording there.
