*Q: Where do the products go when I launch them from the Command center?

**A: ~~Check~~ your journal, under "Planetary Launches" ~~and select~~ warp to.

**A: The Command center creates a special bookmark in space for the products. The bookmark can be found in your journal, under the "Planetary Launches" tab. You can warp to it like a normal bookmark.

*Q: Can you deploy, manage or collect resources while cloaked?

**A: ~~Most.~~ You can scan, deploy a CC, manage your colony, and launch items from a CC without decloaking. You ''cannot'' access the Customs Office or prepare a transfer from a Launchpad while cloaked. Additionally, you can not actually transfer items to a ship while cloaked.

*Q: Can you deploy, manage or collect resources from a freighter?

**A: You can deploy CCs and manage your colonies from a freighter, and you can transfer items to and from a Customs Office. And as of the Retribution Patch, you can pick up materials launched into orbit from the CC (because a Planetary Launch Container behaves ~~similar to~~ a jetcan). An ~~Industrial~~ may be a more appropriate ship for planetary transport tasks, ~~because it is both~~ cheaper and faster.

An industrial ship (such as the [[Epithal]]) may be a more appropriate ship for planetary transport tasks, as these ships are cheaper and faster than freighters.

*Q: Is Planetary Interaction limited to system security status?

*Q: Can you remotely access colonies?

**A: Yes. To do so click on the ~~system your PI is currently located in~~ and click ~~info~~, under the Orbital Bodies tab ~~go to the planet in question~~, ~~right click~~ and select View in Planet Mode. ~~You can do anything~~ you ~~normally~~ can ~~if you where in the same system except~~ scan, unless ~~the system falls~~ within your ~~remote sensing~~ range ~~in which case scan away~~.

**A: Yes. To do so, access the Science & Industry window, click on the Planets tab, and then double-click on the planet you want to view. (Alternatively, you can Show Info on the star system, find the planet under the Orbital Bodies tab, and select View in Planet Mode from the right-click menu.) The only limitation of accessing a colony remotely is that you can't scan it unless it's within your Remote Sensing range.
