Hi, I lost my MTU and now I can’t track its position because I haven’t enough probe skills (it’s a magpie, so level III), is there anybody who can help me find it back? I lost it in Foves solar system, Gallente Space.

You have to load combat probes.  
I was probing down my MTU quite regularly the first months, so skills are no big deal. I consider that a common problem until you adapt a routine to bookmark and/or scoop the MTU.  
The MTU is a deployable structure, so I think it will remain in space for 30 days if not shot down. This shows on your killboard, btw the “killer” becomes only suspect, not criminal.

This is a ‘Magpie’ MTU though, those things have a much higher sensor strength than the regular version and are much harder to probe down. You’ll want to use a ship with bonus to scanning (Astero is a good pick, since its bonus doesn’t depend on skills) with the right modules (Sisters’ probe launcher, maybe some Astrometrics modules in mid slots).

Mobile Depot will last for 30 days  
MTU will last for 2 days.
