hawk probe
slow but extremely well thought-out probe used for scan sectors before the fleet moves in.
scanradius: 20
speed: warp 2
researchtime: 1 d
buildingtime: 12 h

The idea is nice, but the dsp fulfills the job too. So it must be better to replace it.
There are several problems.
First it takes 12 hours to build, you can build a dsp in 6.
Second, it only has warp 2, whereas a dsp has warp 10.
The result is that, by the time you've built your fleet and sent them, the hawk probe won't be there to do its job.
It simply takes too long to be brought in place, unless you use it as a long-term surveillance probe.
Especially at a cluster of planets, when the range of 20 can function to incapsulate more planets.
I'd say, at least speed it up, to warp 4, 5 or 6?

i'd say lower building time, increase building time, make scan 15, and make warp 5
wait... as i read dis i say, wat?
edit: lower building time, increase research time, lower scan and warp

i'm with lilnkerboy on this one... but maybe you should make it simply warp 10, scanning range of 20, same build time as the DSP and same research time as the DSP, though you could also make it the following research after the DSp for 2 hours of course, but the downside would be that it takes up 2 probe slots... so you can use 2 of these with final exploration, but only one if you don't

No. I'm sorry but i think this is not a good invention since we already have the dsp. Yeah sure I would love this probe, range 20 = I can scan maybe 10 planets or so at once if I'm lucky but there is a reason why DSP has only range 5 = can scan 1-2 planets at once.
