Here's the hectic video of the probe retrieval
What was quite fun is that Patau and I, sort of, met coincidental and decided to group up. Perhaps within 5 mintues of being in a wing I got the first convoy threat 4 USS. Which was a dud. Then I quickly got another one. Patau had his pirate on his tail and I dropped into the USS - he came in shortly after with the pirate.
And it was the right one. We got the shields of the Pyhton down pretty quick and started throwing hatchbreakers at it. After a while the probe dropped. Patau wasn't hostile to them, so he retrieved it. Since I still could see the probe in space, I thought he missed it, until he said he had it. Must be a bug, since cargoscan showed only one probe.
Still processing, but the final quality will be 1440p@60 fps.
