Planetary Interaction: Difference between revisions

Line 102:

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 ~~(needs verification)~~ it is like your personal hanger in that things placed in it can only be seen by you.

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.

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.

Alternatively, you can launch your products into orbit. This is performed from the Command Center's storage, and so each launch is limited to 500 m3. Click on the rocket icon in the Command Center (insert picture), which brings up the launch drop-panel(?), where you can pick whole stacks to go into the rocket by selecting it and then clicking on the Add button. Once you are satisfied, you can click on launch. It will then launch a package into orbit for you to pickup within the next 5 days. You can find your package and warp to it in your Journal, under the Planetary Launches tab. There is a cost of ( weight/volume/count? 6000 ISK for 400 Reactive Metals). (15 isk Export Tax per item)

If you want to ask someone else to pickup for you, you must be in space in the system to create a bookmark to contract. (Testing still under way for scanning down the package to say something about that. -Shiu)

(insert video clip? or series of pictures)

In summary:

* To get things to the planet, put them in the Cargo Link, and then ''import'' to a launch pad on the planet. 5 isk/item tax.

* 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.
