Planetary Interaction

Overview

• What can you do with PI
• What Can't you do with PI
• What do you get out of investing time in PI

Skills

• Planetology - int/mem 3x - The understanding of planet evolution and the fundamentals of resource extraction.
• Advanced Planetology - int/mem 5x - Advanced understanding of planet evolution and the fundamentals of resource extraction.
• Interplanetary Consolidation - cha/int 4x - For each rank in this skill, you may install a command center on one additional planet, to a maximum of 6 planets. You can have only one command center per planet. Cannot be trained on Trial Accounts.
• Command Center Upgrades - cha/int 4x - Each rank in this skill improves the quality of command facility available to you, in turn allowing for a greater number of connected facilities on that planet. Cannot be trained on Trial Accounts.
• Remote Sensing - int/mem 1x -The ability to gather and analyze remote sensing data from satellites in orbit around a planet and to produce proper calibrated surveys.
  • Level 1: allows scans within 1 ly
  • Level 2: allows scans within 3 ly
  • Level 3: allows scans within 5 ly
  • Level 4: allows scans within 7 ly
  • Level 5: allows scans within 9 ly

Planets

For more details, see Planets

Planets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and accordingly provides differing materials

>> Suggestion: Table with resources on the X-axies, planet types on the Y axis and highlight the squares to show which planets contain which resources.

Resources

• Raw Materials/uses
  • T1 Goods/uses
  • T2 Goods/uses
  • T3 Goods/uses

Needs tables and correlation to the Planets info.

Industry

For more details, see Planetary Industry

• What aspects of the economy are effected by PI
  • NPC Seeded Goods/Production materials
  • POS fuel, ect

• What ways are there to make money?
  • Strip mining/Extractors only
  • Low Level Production
  • High Level Production/Running multiple colonies that feed eachother/Buying goods off the market to feed production

Colonies

• General concept
  • Setting up Command Centers, building off them

• Colony setups
  • Efficiently placing your building to maximize CPU/powergrid use and profit
  • Ratios of Extractors/Production Buildings/Links/Storage that a Command Center can handle at any one time
  • Storage (Surface, orbital cargo links, classic station hangars, ect)

• Managing multiple colonies
  • Up to 6 colonies
  • Resource gathering colonies/production colonies
  • Hauling between colonies

• Tips
  • Struggles they may come up against, ect.

Profit!

• Cultivating your colony
  • Keeping tabs on Extractors and relocating them or surveying for new resources when your current vein is depleted
  • Launching your goods for sale on the market
  • Restructuring a colony to meet current needs
  • Not forgetting it's there

• General guide to goods prices (post launch)
