How do I remove the space probes from game?

[crossclayton]

I would like to remove the deep space probe and advanced deep space probe from the game. I feel it ruins the mods exploration and first contact side of gameplay especially since players and AI simply spam them to capture all the goodies and scope out the map. I want to actually have to explore with star ships so its even better when you hit your first exploration ship with more moves. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Cheers.
