Here's one cool little side note about how maps work in Warframe I've recently noticed.

Maps in Warframe are procedurally generated. This isn't exactly a secret. However, this can be exploited to give a player nearly infinite loot, provided they're willing to sink in the time required.

First, start an Exterminate mission. Kill all except the last hostile as you normally would. Now, before you kill the final enemy, run all the way back to the start of the map, or as close as you can get.

Now run to/through each and every single door you can find. The key here is to look for doorways on your mini-map that appear to lead nowhere. As you enter them, the game will spawn new segments to the map. Sometimes you'll get a tiny dead-end hallway with no loot. However, sometimes you'll get a "storage closet" as I call it, a room with anywhere from 2 to (rarely, but I've seen it several times on Corpus maps) 20+ lootable cabinets. Every cabinet you open can reward you with as many as 2,000 credits (and I've heard of more in areas above my current level) and also drop resources for crafting. They even have a very, very small chance to drop a mod. Using this method it isn't hard to spawn an extra 200+ lootable cabinets.

By the same token, each of these rooms has a chance to include breakable storage containers. This means nearly infinite affinity orbs. These can be especially useful when you buy a new, unranked frame or weapon. Run one of the easier Extermination missions on Mercury, for example, then use this trick to spawn over 100 affinity orbs and easily rank your weapon up to level 10+ in a single mission!

Anyhow, when you have exhausted all the doorways, or else when Windows gives you an "out of memory" warning (because it's going to eat a little RAM every time you load up a new room...) then go kill the last remaining enemy, and extract.

Tada, free nearly infinite loot. Obviously I recommend a stamina mod and lots of coptering to make this faster, unless you're just really bored.
