So I think noone will disagree with the "fact" that scanning a planet for materials gets, well, boring after the 20th trip back to a fuel depot only to return to the same perilous task in the same star system where you just left off (they could at least have given us an indefinite number of probes, geez)..
So considering I have plenty of minerals right now I'm wondering.. am I missing out on anything if I just don't scan some dozen more worlds for minerals or is there actually a chance for side missions (apart from the ones that can be seen when I'm on the galactic map)? I just bought a whole lot of star charts and I have plenty of stars on my map to potentially explore.. but if it all boils down to hovering my scanner over 30 more planets.. no thanks..
Any information?
Unexplored star systems worth exploring?

There are at least 10 N7 missions from what I recall that you can find from scanning planets, and that's not really even considering all the branch off missions that come from doing each of them. So, yes. It's worth it if you're a completionist. Still tedious as hell though.

If you have enough minerals, just visit each planet to see if there's an anomaly, then move on. Don't bother scanning.
First I scanned all planets till they were depleted. Got bored of that really quick, then only scanned Rich planets until they were Poor.
Then I scanned Rich planets until they were no longer Rich. (even if they fell to Good I moved on.)
Finally I only scanned planets that I figured had Eezo on them.
I probably only scanned a good 20% of the planets or so, and I wound up with 100K Eezo, and 350K of all the other minerals, even after all the upgrades. Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed I wasted so much time on that utterly boring scanning junk.

Just to note, you don't actually have to scan the planets to find anomalies for side quests. If you just "explore" the planet (get to the screen where you see its name and description) then EDI will say that she has detected an anomaly if there is one there.

yea true but the reason I do so is in order to keep track of which systems I "really" scanned and which I have just "clicked on".. but if its really like Creston says and I end up bathing in all matter of materials even without trying I guess I might as well stop doing that
