What are space probes in Ixion?

Space probes are deployed items in Ixion, which are used to search for ore or POI related to the main storyline.

How to use space probes to find science points

As when searching for other resources, you can use space probes to search for quests or missions that can bring science points after completion. Firstly, you need to build the starting installation of the probe on the Construction tab. After that, create a probe using three polymer units from the launch menu.

As soon as your probe is ready, we will be able to use it to search for missions that can bring us science points. Click the start button and equip the scanner. Using this scanner, explore the entire map with the mouse and find an area with a high rating for an estimate for a quest associated with science glasses. The panel of the missions related to science points is in the sixth column of the graph index. Run the probe in the right direction to get a mission based on scientific glasses. Having received a goal, you can start a quest by sending a scientific ship. Remember that there is no guarantee that you will receive science points after the completion of these missions. In the end, science points are accidental and depend on your current status in the game.

We recommend sending a lot of space probes one after another to increase your chances of getting science points. To learn more about Ixion, read the sections How to maintain the integrity of the case in Ixion or How to transfer resources to Ixion in the guidelines for the game for professionals.
