A plan for this technology can be obtained from Miranda (ask her for ideas for new upgrades).
Developing this technology will speed up the entire process. Otherwise you would have to return to the fuel depot to restock.ĭon't forget to purchase Normandy upgrades concerning resource gathering - you'll be allowed to take more fuel and probes on board of the ship.īefore you begin scanning more planets you should also take interest in a technology named Advanced mineral scanner. I also wouldn't recommend being too greedy when it comes to the probes so you won't run out of them while scanning a planet. This will allow you to fly over to a nearby system from where you'll be allowed to object of your interest.įuel and probes are very cheap so you won't have to worry about making a lot of trips back and forth - your budget can definitely handle it. If the planet you wish to scan is not located in the same system as the mass relay you'll have to use a fuel depot to purchase fuel. Successful scanning of the planets is only possible with probes (you can buy them at fuel depots) and to scan a single planet thoroughly you should send between 20 and 30 probes. Scanning planets allows you to collect a lot of resources in a short amount of time.
