The small cargo capacity of the Hermes limits its range for long-distance probing. Is there a way to extend that range, other than by slowing it down or deploying it to a base closer to the target? | The small cargo capacity of the Hermes limits its range for long-distance probing.

There are 3 fins to the probe, the dark short piece that looks like it's sticking out near the base of the top fin is the third fin shaded like the end of the side fin. | There are 3 fins to the probe, the dark short piece that looks like it's sticking out near the base of the top fin is the third fin shaded like the end of the side fin. | ||

I tried to deploy this dudes from one planet of mine to another, and it told me I'm protected. Anyone else getting this?
- Did you try to probe by accident? When you select the Hermes probe for your fleet, it automatically changes to an "espionage" mission. If you want to deploy it, you need to switch it back to "Deploy". --Rob 14:58, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the paragraph entitled fodder, "Every other ship has Rapid Fire against the Hermes Class." The fact that every other combat ship has an eighty percent chance to rapid fire against the probe excludes it from being a viable "shield" during attacks.
I have recently edited the page to Specifically point out that the Hermes is better fodder (MUCH BETTER) in battle against defenses, which cannot rapid fire. Using Hermes against as your primary fodder against a fleet of ships would be quite foolish under most circumstances.
