Okay, Im loving PI. My first day I made structures that looking like Dr. Seuss coughed on the screen, and the jetsam that coagulated there was what was actually on my planet.
After fiddling around, experimentations, and some general d1ckery, Ive gotten 3 planets churning out Nuclear Reactors (Still training for better stuff).
I have one minor (Or major to some people) gripe about it though...
You allow us to upgrade our links, which is great if we need the extra bandwidth. You allow us to route and divert to anything from anywhere, which is cool. And the ability to launch our payloads into the orbiting Customs Office is pretty neat, and I DO like that concept. Personally I think a space elevator akin to Halo 2 would be a lot cooler looking and just bad @ss, but I digress.
What I want to know is, how come we cant have these rocket canisters launch to our other planets' Customs Offices?
Any input would be appreciated, Im still getting the hang of this PI thing, and I AM loving it so far. It just needs a few tweaks, and then it'll be perfect.
Later CCP, and hope to see something in the morning!

Hi Daionnis,
You're suggesting that you allow one colony to shoot their products to other colonies? I can imagine this removes quite a bit of player driven interaction. It would be cool for player courier contracts to be set from Custom offices to stations or vice versa.

Yes, being able to set up contracts remotely from the customs office would be nice. The fact you cant send things to the customs office when you are docked in the same system or are infact in another system could hinder this though. Maybe allow a route to be set up from the launchpad to the customs office for certain items (Exports?) and it bills you repeatedly? this way you can then set up contracts to move items around to say, another customs office?
Thoughts/Comments?

Launching a rocket into orbit (and to an orbiting customs station) is a relativly simple thing.
Having the said rocket/comtainer travel across a solar system to another planet is a wee bit trickier!
From an in game point of view - there needs to be some player interaction to move items around. Plus the dangers of doing this in low/0 sec add to the risk/reward value of PI.
From a RL sort of view - Takes us 3 years to get a rocket from Earth to Mars.
