Types of Command Centers

Please see the graph below, from the Planetary_Interaction page:

Type	Volume	Capacity	Export Tax	PowerGrid	CPU	Skill
Basic	50.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	5,373 MW	1,007 tf	0
Limited	100.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	8,322 MW	6,616 tf	1
Standard	200.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	11,121 MW	12,022 tf	2
Improved	400.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	13,995 MW	17,530 tf	3
Advanced	800.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	16,878 MW	23,037 tf	4
Elite	1600.0 m3	500 m3	15 isk	19,368 MW	28,037 tf	5

Each of these types, starting with basic, require a higher level of Command Center Upgrades. Level 1 allows for the basic, and level 5 allows for the Elite Command Center.

Command Center Uses

The Command Center must be placed from your cargo hold onto a planet while in planetary interaction mode. There are 5 different structures that each take up a certain amount of power and CPU, much like a POS.

Type	PowerGrid	CPU	Cost
Extractors	800 MW	100 tf	150,000.00 ISK
Basic Industry Facility	800 MW	100 tf	225,000.00 ISK
Advanced Industry Facility	600 MW	300 tf	450,000.00 ISK
High-Tech Industry	N/A	N/A	N/A
Storage Facility	600 MW	300 tf	600,000.00 ISK
Space Port	600 MW	1600 tf	1,125,000.00 ISK
Link	0.1539 MW/KM	0.1575 tf/KM	0.00 ISK

Please note: You do not need to purchase any of the addon structures (with the exception of the command centers) from a station. You will be able to build them from the command center, and the ISK cost will be assessed from your wallet.

Final Thoughts

Command Centers will provide you with the basis for planetary production operations. Please note however that you are not yet able to leave your pod. This will not be available until Incarna.
