Planetary Interaction post Incursion: Changing Planets

Usually I snap lots and lots of images of various things in-game especially while doing PI to sometime compare planet images or remember setups before making changes.

Planetary Interaction: Setting up on a Storm Planet (In Screenshots)

Storm worlds are usually considered terrestrial planets, although to a casual eye they may appear more similar to gas planets, given their opaque, high-pressure atmospheres. Geomorphically, however, the distinctions are clear: compared to a gas world, the atmosphere of a storm world is usually considerably shallower, and generally composed primarily of more complex chemicals, while [...]

This time I selected one of the rare planet class a Plasma class planet to deploy a new Command Center for colonization and raw material resource gathering and knew where to find one. I obtained a new Standard Plasma Command Center from my home space station [...]

Planetary Command Center modules began being seeded on the market all over New Eden for purchase to use for colonization and harvesting of planetary resources for enterprising capsuleers. Fairly new to life in New Eden hadn’t paid all that much [...]
