Pls add aging to planetary interaction.

Example: If you dont repair your PI facilities at least once a month they degrade in quality and in 3 months totally collapse and lost.

Otherwise you will create million ghost towns after a while. remember old giant secure can belts and cluster numbing shuttles and noob ships in safespots.

THIS IS IMPORTANT

okay i have read alot but i didnt see what i was looking for but are the players that own the own wormhole space be left out of this also?

I guess my main question is is wormhole space be better than empire space plantery mining or on par with 0.0. or will it even be possible.

Does any one know what the limitations on the routes are. I have a couple of items into a storage facility but can't get them to the command center. I do have an extractor routed to the same facility an it is pushing gold. Which I was able to launch and pick wahoo. :)

Question:

Would it be possible, in a situation where there are two friendly players on one planet that would like to interact for the purposes of industry, to link player A's pins with player B's pins? Would such an interaction be necessary or desirable in the final product of this feature?

Space rocks give you 8 minerals that can not be found on planets, fair enough. But space rocks never contain iron, gold, silver, etc.

Space ice gives you a variety of useful isotopes. But space ice never contains plain water or oxygen.

Moons give you a selection of useful minerals. But never contain the 8 minerals found in space rocks, even if the moon has no atmosphere and lots of craters where space rocks have crashed into it. Moons are also never inhabitable, and never contain minerals found on planets. Moon resources can only be harvested from space, sending down a habitation module and a bunch of dudes with pick axes will get you nothing.

Planets will give you water, gold, silver, oxygen, etc. But if you want tungsten or silicates you will need to go find a moon, you aren't allowed to remove silicate sand from planets. (They don't mind if you deplete the ocean, but don't you dare touch the beaches). Planetary resources can never be harvested from space. Regardless of how hellish the planet, the only way to harvest resources is to set up a base on the planet's surface. Yes, this goes even for planets where the surface is entirely liquid or molten, and for gas giants that have no reachable surface to speak of.

I like the idea of planetary interaction, but I'm not sure I understand exactly how resource distribution works.

Is that right? That doesn't sound quite right. Will there be some flavor fiction to explain why it works this way?

Gas planets: The command centers for gas planets are configured with gas bladders that can collect and concentrate gas from the atmosphere. This gives the structure the ability to regulate it's density. By maintaining a specific density, the station would 'bob like a cork' in the atmosphere at a given distance from the planetary core. During harsh weather, the stations can dive under or float above it by regulating it's density.

How is the 0.0 side of this planned, I know you need sov but what about NPC 0.0 and how far does the sov mechanic go, is it only that corp can do PI in that system or is it the whole alliance?

---

Sov will be required, but the exact details of it haven't been ironed out. But we are thinking about something along the lines of the alliance plus blues. But we haven't finalized that yet.

To get the items off the planet, you need to go to it. It will be possible to view a planet remotely, possibly reduced by a skill, but in order to perform some complex actions, you need to be close to it, in the system at least.

edit: But you can do it from anywhere right now, but you need to be at the planet to set up the command center, and retrieve the rocket.

If sov is required then I assume planet mining is not possible in high, low, or wormhole space. I know of no current game mechanic where sov is required to use something when in null, but not required when in empire or w-space. Certain game mechanics either require sov or they don't, which category does planet mining fall into?

What rocket? I've done several launches from my command center, loading different things into the launch payload. No matter what I try, however, nothing appears at planet orbit where my hauler is waiting to pick it up. I tried a "Select All" for overview types and still got nothing. Is that part of the mechanic not functioning yet?

Also, how will players get stuff from space to the planet? Materials like ionized water will need to be brought to the surface to complete certain items. I don't see a way to accomplish that atm.

What new skills are there related to planet colonization? Do they require prerequisites that are in-game already?

How exactly are dust marines supposed to attack/defend planets that are in wormhole space?

Esp if there's no highsec->wh space open.
