To deploy the command center you need to have the command center-item in your cargo hold and have to be undocked in space in the same system as the planet you want to colonize. You can be tethered or cloaked for this step. | [[File:Planet information.png|left|thumb]] | ||

You can access the planet view by right-clicking a planet in the overview or any other list ans select "View planetary industry". You can get a list of avaible planets from opening the "Solar System: Information"by clicking on the systems name in the top left corner and select the "Orbital Bodies" tab. Each planet has their own information page accessed by the familiar[[File:Info button.png|frameless]]-icon. The only game-relevant attribute in this window is the radius and the extractable resources. It also has a button "View Planetary Industry" at the bottom. | You can access the planet view by right-clicking a planet in the overview or any other list ans select "View planetary industry".

The location of the Command Center is not relevant. In most cases it will not be connected to the rest of the colony and usually not used to export products from the planet. Your Command Center provides Powergrid and CPU to your entire colony. This limits how many buildings you can put in a colony. Everything takes a certain amount of CPU and Powergrid, including the links between the buildings. The Command center itself does not need to be connected by a link for this. However, if you double-click anywhere on the planet it will center the view on the Command Center, so having it close to the rest of the colony might make navigating back there easier. | The location of the Command Center is not relevant.

Once you are happy with the location, select your Command Center in the Build-tab and place it on the planet. The "edits pending" will show you the cost in ISK (zero in this case) and an option to submit or cancel. Nothing is paid and can always be changed or reverted back to the original state until the submit button is pressed. A few actions can not be done while there are edits pending. | |[[File:PI edits pending.png|left|thumb]] | ||
