i am already there...

your best bet is searching threat 5 nhss, eventually one will appear alongside the thargoid interceptor, so scoop it quickly or the thargoid will

maybe i'm just not lucky then...

I have a vague recollection that you used to be able to find them at one of the crashed thargoid sites. Although it's been a long time since I visited any of them so I might be wrong.

Military couriers in war systems often carry probes and sensors. They can be a difficult target to pirate if you do not have a wing or a heavily engineered ship. Typically it is an Elite pilot in one of the big three escorted my multiple vultures. Finding probes in NHSS is possible, but more frustrating. I wish the old USS mechs for finding probes was put back in the games. \

Only UAs can be found at crash sites not probes.

Delphi system at Science Vessel.

What you need to bring with you:
Hatch breaking limpets
Collecting limpets
Corrosive cargo hold


There are 3 cargo holds on the Vessel which can have a Thargoid probe.
If not relog into Elite and try again.
But watch out pirates can attack you AND thargoid also.
For me it took me +-10 relogs before I saw a probe ;-)

I think you know how to get a Thargoid sensor?

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've found them with better luck at the Hercules class cargo ship in Delphi. 4 cargo holds; 0, 1, 2 and 3. But I often find they spawn in 0 and 3 more, which are right near each other, so I just scan, scan, relog.

If you go to systems with AX CZ there will be ageis mega ships and you can take kill interceptor missions and they will sometimes generate mission uss with probes. By jumping in and out of the instance/uss you can scoop up as many probes as you want.

Not all the 'Kill interceptor' missions will spawn this so you may have to try a few. (abandon those that do not spawn the correct uss, and try another mission) It seems ~1/5 of the missions generate the probe mission uss. Just don't kill the interceptor, and you can keep going back to the uss to snag more probes. It is possible for sensor to spawn as well. The interceptor typically does not show until the probe is scooped, but sometimes is already in the instance.
