Mining the resources of planets involves orbiting, then entering the scanning view. The minerals Shepard picks up on foot won’t cover much resarch at all. Exploring the galaxy of Mass Effect to mine its planets is a requirement for those who wish to aggressively explore research. Navigation is great, but there is more to it than just looking at the stars. Just pick where you want to go, and you’re there FTL! Exploring Planets and Using Probes No fuel is used in this kind of transportation and the Normandy itself is not on the map. This is only accessed by going to a Mass Effect Relay.
Keep a full tank at all times: Fuel Depots are only found in systems with Mass Effect Relays.įinally there is the galactic level. Be sure not to run out of fuel! If you do, the Normandy will burn through mineral resources to get where it needs to go, un-doing your mining efforts. The Normandy can move to other solar systems in the same way as on the local level, but now fuel is used.
Regional level navigation occurs when the Normandy is moved to the edge of a local solar system.
