Planets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and accordingly provides differing materials. Each planet provides five resources, but a few unique resources only exist on a single planet. The unique resources include ~~''fill in the blanks here''~~

Planets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and accordingly provides differing materials. Each planet provides five resources, but a few unique resources only exist on a single planet each. The unique resources include Autotrophs ([[File:TemperateIcon.png]] Temperate planets), Felsic Magma ([[File:LavaIcon.png]] Lava planets), and Reactive Gas ([[File:GasIcon.png]] Gas planets)

At first you are limited to a single planet, so ideally you need to first figure out what you're interested in harvesting and/or producing, pick the planet most appropriate for that activity, and then look for an example with the right resources in abundance. ~~''general pointers~~ for ~~how abundant~~ planets ~~get~~ in ~~hisec goes here~~''

At first you are limited to a single planet, so ideally you need to first figure out what you're interested in harvesting and/or producing, pick the planet most appropriate for that activity, and then look for an example with the right resources in abundance. Note that planets in lower security levels are richer overall - see [[Good Planets]] for some analysis. While you can colonize planets in unclaimed or NPC nullsec (even wormhole space!) you ''cannot'' colonize planets in territory claimed by an alliance other than your own.

To actually look for a planet you can use several different ways. You can fly to them and actually click the planet, or be lazy and just select the planets from your overview. Either way you'll want to "View in planet mode" and get yourself a nice up-close view

You can fly to them and actually click the planet, or be lazy and just select the planets from your overview. The Atlas can help you pick other systems, but it takes a few clicks to really get anywhere. Either way you'll want to use the "View in planet mode" option and get yourself a nice up-close view

You can also select planets from several other different views, such as via your MapBrowser. You can see the planet's overall resource abundance from anywhere (and gaze at its visual appeal), but the planet must be within your [[Skills:Science#Remote Sensing|Remote Sensing]] skill range for you to actually perform a Scan operation on a specific resource (i.e. show its "heat" map). You can manage a planet you've already colonized from anywhere.<br style="clear: both" />
