=== Deploying a Command Center ===

[[File:PlacingPlasmaCC.png|right|Placing a Plasma CC]]To get started on building stuff you need to first deploy a Command Center (CC) of ~~any size~~ to your target planet. Pick up the largest size available to you that fits the planet type you're aiming for and put it in your cargo hold (large CCs may take an industrial or other large ship to fit). There is no drawback to larger CCs other than the initial cost, and all kinds of benefits. A too small CC may limit the options for what you can do with your colony.

[[File:PlacingPlasmaCC.png|right|Placing a Plasma CC]]To get started on building stuff you need to first deploy a Command Center (CC) of the right type to your target planet.

Consider first which resources you're targeting and where they are, placing your CC at some ideal spot near them. You'll usually end up placing your CC on the edge of one resource type (or a "pair" of resources that usually hang out together) with another resource type growing in intensity the further it gets from the white "peak" of the first. Whether or not resources are grouped, opposed to each other, live in bands, etc, depends on the planet type. See [[Planet]] for more details.

Line 114:

After your CC has been deployed and you have submitted changes, further build options will become available. There seems to be a bug whereby sometimes these new options remain greyed out and are not selectable after deploying your CC. If this happens, simply leave planetary interaction mode (click "exit") and then go back into it. Build options should now appear correctly allowing you to continue building your colony.

~~''Incursion Change'': There is now only one size of command center. There are still different kinds for different worlds. All~~ Command ~~Centers are now 1000 m3. You deploy the~~ center, ~~and then for a cost you can upgrade it~~ to ~~the~~ maximum ~~of your~~ Command Center ~~Upgrade~~ skill.

You can upgrade your Command center as needed once placed, up to your maximum skill ([[Skills:Planet Management#Command Center Upgrades|Command Center Upgrades]] skill).
