Skills:Planet Management

Overview

Planetary Interaction (PI) core skills.

Intelligence, Memory and Charisma are vital to learning to manage planet colonies.

The following are the skills in the Planetary Interaction section (in alphabetical order):

Skill	Purpose
Advanced Planetology	The skill further increases the resolution of resource data when scanning a planet to allow for very precise surveying. (Requires Planetology IV.)
Command Center Upgrades	Unlocks more advanced Command Centers.
Interplanetary Consolidation	Each rank allows the control of one additional planet.
Planetology	The skill increases the resolution of resource data when scanning a planet to allow for more accurate surveying.
Remote Sensing	The ability to gather and analyze remote sensing data from satellites in orbit around a planet and to produce proper calibrated surveys.

Skill Details

Advanced Planetology

The advanced understanding of planet evolution allowing you to interpret data from scans of planets for resources at much higher resolutions.

Bonus:

The skill further increases the resolution of resource data when scanning a planet to allow for very precise surveying.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	5x
Price:	10M ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	Planetology IV
Notes:	Used in Planetary Interaction. Further increases the precision when scanning planets for resources. It does seem to just extend the Planetology skill further rather than moving on to better resource extraction.

Command Center Upgrades

Each rank in this skill improves the quality of command facility available to you, in turn allowing for a greater number of connected facilities on that planet. Cannot be trained on Trial Accounts.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	4x
Price:	500k ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	none
Notes:	Each level of this skill unlocks more capable Planetary Command Centers.

Interplanetary Consolidation

For each rank in this skill, you may install a command center on one additional planet, to a maximum of 6 planets. You can have only one command center per planet. Cannot be trained on Trial Accounts.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	4x
Price:	500k ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	none
Notes:

Planetology

The understanding of planet evolution allowing you to better interpret data from scans of planets for resources.

Bonus: The skill increases the resolution of resource data when scanning a planet to allow for more accurate surveying.

Note: this skill cannot be trained on trial accounts.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	3x
Price:	1M ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	Remote Sensing III; Science IV
IV required for:	Advanced Planetology
Notes:	Used in Planetary Interaction. Increases the precision when scanning planets for resources. This is visible in the number of gradient bands displayed on the planet surface when scanning for a resource.

Remote Sensing

The ability to gather and analyze remote sensing data from satellites in orbit around a planet and to produce proper calibrated surveys.

• Level 1: allows scans within 1 ly
  
• Level 2: allows scans within 3 ly
  
• Level 3: allows scans within 5 ly
  
• Level 4: allows scans within 7 ly
  
• Level 5: allows scans within 9 ly

Attributes:
Multiplier:	1x
Price:	300k ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	Science III
III required for:	Planetology
Notes:	Used in Planetary Interaction. Please note that this skill operates in terms of Light Years (LY) and not jumps.
