hi chris,
i have a probe, 2283, which has unplugged from its old home and is in suspended animation in a suitcase until it reaches its new home in a month or two.
There's nothing you have to do when a probe is down; it is automatically marked as disconnected almost immediately, and if it isn't plugged back in then it is marked as "abandoned" after 90 days and "written off" after 180 days (both of which are reversible states, so don't worry too much).
ok.
the location map will not let me pur it in the middle of the pacific. and i can not see how to mark it as dormant/down. clue bat please.
We have generally tried to move away from using remote areas to signify particular probe statuses as it confuses various visualisations.
but the probe IS in the middle of the pacific, on this ship.
