To engage in Planetary Interaction, | 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 Centers (one for each type of planet). Once the correct Command Center is placed on a planet other facilities such as extractors and processors may be placed. As the correct Command Center needs to be deployed before beginning any extraction, it is good to survey and select your chosen planet(s) prior to purchase. | ||
Once | Once raw materials have been collected, they can be processed on-planet or on a planet dedicated to manufacturing into basic or advanced goods, taken off-planet for station-based processing into a variety of products used in space, or sold. Material is removed from a planet either by launches from the Command Center or through a planetary Customs Office that charges a tax. Material can be brought down to a planet only through the Customs Office, at a reduced taxation rate. | ||
