Overview

• What can you do with PI
• What Can't you do with PI
  • You cannot attack another player's on-planet assets.
• 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

To Help rember where you havesters are located place a can inside a station and label it with the planet and resource your working on. It will be easily visible from your assests page you can use teh search function to list all cans to sort if from your other stuff if you have especially crowded hangers.

Colony Types

  There are eight planet types and six colony types for each terrain.  The commandcenters range from basic ( no listed prerequisite 1007cpu) to elite ( command center  upgrades 5, 28037 cpu)

 Command Center Upgrades is a Charisma, and Intelligence skill with a x4 multiplier it will be slow for many eve players. Anyone wishing to get in to this should train Charisama before launch. 

Listing of Command Center attributes and requirements

  Type          CPU     Power Grid  Skill Level
  Basic        1007     5373        None
  Limited      6616     8322        One
  Standard    12022    11121        Two
  Improved    17530    13995        Three
  Advanced    23037    16868        Four
  Elite       28037    19368        Five

Due to the complexity of the combination process basic will be verry limited use. Get at least an improved if you wish to make any end product without having to micro-manage.
