===== Launchpad =====

~~The~~ Launchpad has the greater cost up front but is ~~far~~ superior to the ~~CC and exports for 2/3 of~~ the ~~fee of a CC~~. It can also launch far larger amounts and is the only way to import ~~stuff~~ onto ~~the~~ planet. ~~However, keep~~ in mind that you are charged 50% of the export ~~fee~~ to import items to your ~~launchpad~~. Consider the costs carefully before setting up a multi-planet production chain. ~~It is now possible for player corporations to take over~~ High Sec ~~customs offices~~ and set any tax rate they wish, if you have an large factory system making Level 4 items and need to import and export this also needs to be kept in mind.

A Launchpad has the greater cost up front but is generally superior to Command Centre launches.

A Launchpad exports to an orbiting Customs Office and the export taxes may be less than the Command Centre export tax (in High Sec the Command Centre export tax is 15% - 1.5 times the NPC tax rate) depending on the Customs Office tax rate. A Launchpad can also launch far larger amounts and is the only way to import items onto a planet. Command Centre launches also have a cooldown period.

Keep in mind that you are charged 50% of the export tax to import items from the Customs Office to your Launchpad. Consider the costs carefully before setting up a multi-planet production chain. Players can own High Sec Customs Offices and set any tax rate they wish, if you have a large factory system making Level 4 items and need to import and export this also needs to be kept in mind.

If a Customs Office has an excessive export tax rate, it can be avoided by using a Command Centre launch. The other situation where a Command Centre launch may be of value is when the Customs Office is camped by hostiles as Command Centre launches put a can in space for you to collect at some distance from the Customs Office.
