You do not have to setup your entire production chain on the one planet. You can purchase missing products on the market or produce them on other planets. However, then you need to get them down to the surface. In addition, ultimately you will want to get the fruits of your slave ..er "colonists'" labour to market.

These operations must be done in the system, and this exposes you to risk. Many of these operations are done near the "(Planet Name)'s Cargo Link", which you will have to add to your overview. The Cargo Link is like any other container, in that you must be within 2500m to transfer things into and out of it. However it is like your personal hanger in that things placed in it can only be seen by you. However, unlike your personal hanger, it has a capacity of only 10,000 m3, which is the same capacity as your launchpad.

These operations must be done in the system, and this exposes you to risk. There are two ways to get goods off a planet (Cargo Link/Customs Office, and Launch Container) and one way to get goods down to the planet (Cargo Link/Customs Office). Many of these operations are done near the "(Planet Name)'s Cargo Link", which you will have to add to your overview.

However it is like your personal hanger in that things placed in it can only be seen by you. However, unlike your personal hanger, it has a capacity of only 10,000 m3, which is the same capacity as your launchpad.

Everything to do with the Customs Office must be done in the system, and in space. While you can perform the Import/Export operations out in the dark at a safe spot (''need to check on whether it can be done cloaked''), you must go to a known location to actually pick up the goods from the cargo link. The Launch Container method, while more expensive, can be done from anywhere in the universe, including docked at a station. However, you will still have to go to the system to pick up your launch can, and others can pick it up too if you don't get there first.

The Customs Office window is accessed either by right clicking on the Cargo Link, and choosing Access Customs Office, or from the rocket icon on a Launch Pad.

* To get things off the planet,

** Put them in a launch pad on the planet, ''export'' them, and pick them up from the cargo link. Maximum 10k m3, no one else can pickup, 10 isk/item tax.

** or Put them in Command Centre, ''launch'' them, and pick up from Journal bookmark. Maximum 500 m3. 15 isk/item. Others can pick up.
