Hi folks, this is an idea i've come up with that kind of makes planet scanning a bit quicker and maybe a little less tedious, but still keeps it in the form of a mini game.  Not sure if anyone else has suggested this before me but here goes.

OK, so you get to a planet and zoom in, an animated scanning wave passes over the entire planet and reveals shaded areas rich in the different types of minerals.  Now all you have to do is target those area's with the reticle and launch the probes to collect them.  Now some might say this is dumbing down the original planet scanning and to an extent they would be right, but it is actually putting it in between the one button push of ME1 and the manually scanning of the entire plannet in ME2, making it quicker overall but still a fun little mini game.

Here is a picture to show what i'm on about.  I'm no graphic designer so i've done it on paint 


So, what do you think?

It's exactly the same but even more mindless.

I want something completely different, like actually landing and mining with the Hammerhead.

I suppose your idea would be a step up, but I think there are plenty of possibilities for something really cool

I like ME2's scanning system better. This would be more dull.

The fact that the minerals are already highlighted would dampen the experience even more. Which is hard to do. All your doing now is making the Normandy mine for the sake of it. The concept of mineral scanning in ME and ME2 is the fact you search for it and discover its location. However this often makes it tedious too.

Whats so difficult about scanning? ME2's system is much faster than ME1's. Most planetary descriptions tell you what minerals you can expect to find. The only way I would like your color coded scheme is if you could toggle planetary scanning views..... ie thermal, ground penetrating radar, whatever. Even then.... that should be an upgrade from a squadmate. But its really not that hard. I've never mined a planet that didn't say Rich. And i've never had a problem not having enough resources.
