Planetary Interaction: Difference between revisions

To engage in Planetary Interaction, Pilots need to purchase the correct Command Center for their chosen planet from the market, there are eight types of Command Centre one to match each type of planet. Having purchased the correct Command Centre and placed it on the chosen planet it is possible to construct raw mineral extractors to collect the various raw materials the planet has to offer. As the correct Command Centre needs to be purchased prior to beginning extraction it is usual to survey and select your chosen planet(s) prior to purchase.

Once these raw materials have been collected, they can be taken off planet for processing in a manufacturing ~~facility~~, ~~sent to the planetary Customs Office~~ or ~~processed on-~~planet ~~into basic~~ or ~~advanced goods, which can then be sold for profit. This provides~~ a ~~source of income to players who invest in the necessary skills~~. ~~You~~ can ~~keep~~ a ~~colony running with a little attention once a day, more often if you want to optimize~~, ~~or less often if you'd just like to coast along and check on your assets once in~~ a ~~while~~.

Once these raw materials have been collected, they can be processed on-planet into basic or advanced goods for greater profit, taken off planet for processing in a planet dedicated to manufacturing, or sold. Material is removed from a planet either by dedicated launches or through a planetary Customs Office that charge tax. Material can be brought down to a planet only through the Customs Office, at a reduced taxation rate.

Currently the facilities are invulnerable. You may compete with others over specific nearby resources. Retrieving the valuable products from planets are another matter altogether, as pilots experience the typical risks of transporting valuables.

Selling the materials and/or goods provides a source of income to players who invest in the necessary skills. You can keep a colony running with a little attention once a day, more often if you want to optimize, or less often if you'd just like to coast along and check on your assets once in a while.

Currently the facilities on the planet are invulnerable. You may compete with others over specific nearby resources. Retrieving the valuable products from planets are another matter altogether, as pilots experience the typical risks of transporting valuables.

Once Planet Interaction is integrated with [[DUST 514]], it may allow pilots to hire mercenaries to protect their planetary installations.
