Na’kuhl temporal probes

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Are these a random spawn inside the missions, or is it predetermined which mission will have a probe in it?

Haven't seen any yet on my recruit char and I don't want to have to replay missions because I "missed" the probe. Do they also show up ons ensor scan, a la radiogenic particles? Don't fancy searching everywhere on the map for them either.

    They are predetermined. You can click your temporal locator (hope that is how it is called) and check in which missions they can be found.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Thanks.

    I found my first one on P'Jem.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    How do you get the 25 marks from these probes? I tried double clicking them in the temporal beacon but nothing happens.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    Did you try right-clicking? I haven't checked the one I found, so I'm not sure, but I think right-clicking is what you have to do.

    I'll give it a go.

    There is a claim button at the bottom of the list of Temporal Probe locations. Click on the reward you are selecting, then click on the claim button. There might be other ways, but that method I know it works.
  • dragnridrdragnridr Member Posts: 671 Arc User
    To get your marks, you have to unlock the probe, do a jig, drink some romulan ale, strip for a klingon, and drink blood wine.

    Seriously, just don't forget to claim the boxes from the temporal thing-a-ma-jig in your inventory.

    Hm. I just tried to click mine every way I know how and can't get it to activate. Hopefully the devs will fix it.

    I haven't run into any issues at all claiming rewards. If the claim button on your Temporal Transponder is failing, can you give me a character@handle so that I can look into this?
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    It's Jax@echatty. I was able to claim the award for reaching lvl 10, but I can't click on the one for investigating temporal probes.

    Ah, Found the claim button. Thank you. I thought during DR that you could just double click them.

    Thanks again for helping this puzzled player.

    Oh yeah, about finding the probes? They're usually placed where you can't miss them because you have to go 'that way' anyway.

    Your mission objective list will tell you when you're in a map that has a probe in it. And yes, they can be found with the scan.

    Not on P'Jem. Cleared the map of collectibles, Klingons & objectives and... Nothing. Tricorder wouldn't find anything on any of the three playthroughs I tried.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    Hm. I found the one on P'Jem without scanning. It was by one of the buildings as you go up the hill, past the first wave of Klingons, I believe. It was near a R&D anomaly, I believe. Or a box, can't remember

    You simply choose the number that would add up with the other two in the row to 15. Example: You have a two and seven on the top row...select the letter and you should get a window of numbers to choose from, choose 6 for that letter.Same for the others. Just choose the appropriate number to bring the total to fifteen. It's quite simple, really.

    I've seen two screenshots of different locations on P'Jem - neither of which were on my playthroughs :(

    Will try again tomorrow. Thanks
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    I hope you find it. It's been my experience with the three I've found so far that they're right out in the open. They're a bright red and labeled "Space anomaly" Or something like that.

    What game are you talking about? The one I have to do is a rotating 4 number PIN

    no they can't I just tried on P'Jem, after I cleared all of the glowies and research items. This is something that needs to be fixed.

    Your mission objective list will tell you when you're in a map that has a probe in it. And yes, they can be found with the scan.

    I really had to hunt for mine, tricorder said 1 anomaly but didn't point the direction. I just had to go walking around the well travelled areas. It was waaaayyyy off the beaten path.
  • bawdytieflingbawdytiefling Member Posts: 58 Arc User
    I had a frustrating experience finding the P'Jem one too. It wasn't found by scanning. I think they need to make our tricorder able to find them, pop their location on the map, or use the Risa artifact scanning mechanic.
  • warpangelwarpangel Member Posts: 9,427 Arc User
    I found the on on Pjem with the scan. Although it was near an R&D node I suppose it's possible the scan was pointing at that.

    Yeah, I just got to that one on my last mission. The first ones had you replacing three letters in a grid so all numbers added up to 15 across, up/down and diagonally. This last one where I was rescuing scientists had the four number pin.
