HOW-TO: PLANETARY INTERACTION
Planets produce harvestable resources and make up a significant portion of production:
- Battleship: 8% PI
- Capital Ships: 20% PI
- Structures: 75% PI
FITTING
There is only one type of ship you require for this; the Gallente Hauler "Epithal", which requires Spaceship Command III and Gallente Hauler I. This has a dedicated Command Center bay, which will be used later:

HARVEST PLANETS
Each planet has 5 types of resources:
| Planet | Resource 1 | Resource 2 | Resource 3 | Resource 4 | Resource 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barren | Aqueous Liquids | Base Metals | Carbon Compounds | Micro Organisms | Noble Metals |
| Gas | Aqueous Liquids | Base Metals | Ionic Solutions | Noble Gas | Reactive Gas |
| Ice | Aqueous Liquids | Heavy Metals | Micro Organisms | Noble Gas | Planktic Colonies |
| Lava | Base Metals | Felsic Magma | Heavy Metals | Non-CS Crystals | Suspended Plasma |
| Oceanic | Aqueous Liquids | Carbon Compounds | Complex Organisms | Micro Organisms | Planktic Colonies |
| Plasma | Base Metals | Heavy Metals | Noble Metals | Non-CS Crystals | Suspended Plasma |
| Storm | Aqueous Liquids | Base Metals | Ionic Solutions | Noble Gas | Suspended Plasma |
| Temperate | Aqueous Liquids | Autotrophs | Carbon Compounds | Complex Organisms | Micro Organisms |
These resources have no use raw, but can be converted into Basic "P1":

Planet Types can either be found in-game by choosing "Show Info" on a planet, but can also be found out-of game via Dotlan - Tribute, Vale.
Once you've found the planet type you're after, check the resource density. This tells you how much of that mineral appears on the planet; the higher number the better. Select "Show Info" on a planet, and choose "View in Planetary Industry" at the bottom. In the top-left corner, "Build" is selected by default; switch this to "Scan" and it will show the 5 types of resources acquired, and hovering over each individually will show the amount of resources you will get.
