Comedic Surveying Responses
Go to the Local Cluster and proceed to survey Uranus. Instead of the usual ‘Probe Launched,’ the voice will instead make Uranus jokes such as ‘Probing Uranus’ or ‘Really Commander?’
Quicker Mining
To mine quicker, do not hold LT while scanning a planet. Instead, repeatedly tap LT until a blip appears on the scanner. Then, go back over the area while holding LT to find the best location to send the probe.
Extra Paragon and Renegade Points
To gain extra Paragon points during conversations, press LT when wings appear at the top left of the screen. To gain extra Renegade points, press RT when a star appears.
Easy Paragon and Renegade points
To easily gain Paragon and Renegade points, you must first unlock training to be able to redistribute your skill points. Talent Mastery will add a certain percentage to your Paragon and Renegade points. Respec and distribute them into your Mastery repeatedly until your Paragon and Renegade are full.
Easy mining planets
There are three “Rich” mining planets with lots of materials. Go to the Micah system in the Vallhallan Threshold, and look for the three planets in the asteroids. Move the pointer to the left or right of the planet you wish to scan. Press Left Analog-stick and Right Analog-stick in the same direction to double the spin speed of the planet and allow you to locate resources on the grid line quickly.
