Surface Probes

The Surface Probes were created by man to scan a planet that possesses any anomalies. They are held in moorings and can be deployed and controlled by The Seedship at will.

The Surface Probes appear to be able to perform orbital scans and can survive re-entry, and as such are implied to have thrusters. It appears that the Surface Probes are also somewhat agile, as they always dodge traps in dangerous ruins.

The Surface Probes can become corrupted if not used for too long and may wake and destroy a part at any moment if corrupted. The Seedship will have to decide whether to eject it or attempt to repair it. Damage to the Probe area will never result in more than one Surface Probe being destroyed. They will shut down after their mission is complete.

Surface Probes have also been shown to be very precise as seen when the option to surgically remove a nanoplague using one is presented.
