Planets and structuresPlanets.Planet types

Planets come in different types, the basic planets are,Rocky,Oceanic,Volcanic,Icy,Jungle.

Different races have different species bonus on different planet types, all races get 20% bonus on citadels (I will cover citadels later).

Efficiency

Efficiency is a planetary statistic that ranges from 1 to 10, each level has a percent building time reduction for structures, and anything built on the planet.

Mining

There are three types of building resources that can be mined, they are,

Metal,Gas,Crystal,

Each resource has a rating on a planet, this tells you the abundance level,for example, when you build an extractor the abundance bonus will increase the extraction by a set percentage, the formula is% boost = (rating - 1) times 100so for an abundance rating of 3 it would look like this, (3-1)*100 = 200%the maximum boost is 400%

Species Bonus

Species bonus is a planetary stat that increases resource extraction rate depending on your species and planet type,the table to the right shows the percent bonus fro each species for each planet.

Slots

Each planet has a number of slots, these are used to build structures, the maximum amount of slots is 12.

StructuresEach structure has a Terran, Nivelian, or Vossk variation. Each structure can be leveled up to 20.With each level the time it takes to upgrade the structure increases.

Building types

Headquarters - Main building on a planet, Level limits the level of the rest of the buildings on the planet.

Citadel - Mines artifacts of the type on the planet

Metal Extractor - Extracts metal from the planet

Gas Extractor - Extracts gas from the planet

Crystal Extractor - Extracts crystal from the planet

Shipyard - Builds ships and carriers

Species Bonus

Barracks - Trains troops

Laboratory - Holds different techs and blueprints. Max 3 per lab

Scanning Array - Scans planets for intel and provides missions of various levels

Trade Center - Provides extra storage space for resources and able to trade resources on the planet.

Planetary Defence - Provides extra defenses for ships stationed on the planet.

Headquarters

The headquarters is the main structure of every colonised planet, the level of the HQ dictates the maximum level of the other structures, therefor the HQ must be upgraded before you can upgrade other structures.The level of the HQ also gives a bonus to the resource capacity of the planet, see the table to the right.

Citadel

Citadels are remnants from the time of the Old Ones, ancient aliens that died out millennia ago, these citadels are scattered across the nebula on planets that you must colonise to gain access to, once owned you can mine for artifacts.

There are three types of artifact, red, blue and yellow, these artifacts can be use to boost your carriers,

Red increases the attack force and accuracy of bombers and fighters.

Blue increase the defence and hitpoints of interceptors and fighters

Yellow increases the speed.

I will cover artifact boosts and how to use them effectively in the next subject.

Extractors

Extractors mine the resources available on the planet, Metal, Gas and Crystal, unfortunately I do not have complete data for extraction rates.

Trade Center bonus

Shipyard

The shipyard builds the various ships and carriers needed to carry out missions and attack/defend planets, the level of the shipyard dictates which of these can be built, also some types of ships/carriers require blueprints to be researched before they can be built.

See the table for details on which ships/carriers are unlocked at which level.

Barracks

Barracks allow the training of troops which are vital for protecting your planets and fro conquering other planets.The cost and training time for each marine reduces with each level the barracks are upgraded.

Laboratory

The Lab is a research facility which provides the ability to research planetary tech and unlocks blueprints.Each lab can research up to three tech at once, the tech’s are,

Metal extraction - this boosts the extraction rate for metal.

Gas extraction - boosts gas extraction

Crystal - boosts crystal extraction

Ship Defence - Each level increases the defence bonus on the planet, including all defending carriers

Bomber defence - decreases the number of troops lost to bombardment.

Ground battle - increases the efficiency of all defending troops stationed on the planet.

Silo - each level increases the total resource capacity for the planet.

Scanning Array

Scanning arrays can be used to scan for either short or long distance missions, these missions are great for acquiring artifacts, credits and blueprints,they are also used to produce spy drones, these drones can then be used to spy on enemy planets, which can give an insight to the amount of ships and troops on a planet, these scan results can vary in accuracy, in theory the more drones used and the higher level of the scanner the better the results, however in practice these results have been found to be very inaccurate, even when 100% scan has been used.

Trade Center

The trade center provides extra storage capacity for resources and also can be used to exchange different types of resources, the amount of extra capacity increases with each level of the structure, see the table for capacity boost and exchange rates for each level.

Using the TC combined with the silo tech in a lab you can increase the planets capacity by massive amounts, I’ll cover that later.

Planetary Defence

Planetary defence is a structure that gives a shield bonus to defending fleets, while the bonus is low at first level it offers a huge bonus when upgraded to level twenty, level one only gives 10% but level twenty gives 250% bonus!!!

Ok so that covers the planets and structures, now for a little on suggested planet setup.

Trade center stats

Standard initial setup

At first, you should build at least one barrack on each of your planets and if the resource production capacity can provide enough to supply more than one build another, this way you will gain higher troop quantities quicker with the bonus of more XP, the only exception to this guideline is on smaller planets with not enough slots (small citadels)

Suggested Home system setup

Home1 - Shipyards and resourcesHome2 - Barrack and storeHome3 - Barrack and scanner

The details,

Home1 - Ship and troop productionHQ2 x Metal extractor2 x Gas extractor1 x Crystal extractor2 x Shipyard1 x Barracks3 x Laboratory

Home1 is my backup ship production planet, there are two shipyards so that I can recover losses quicker, I have all blueprints unlocked at this planet, so I can recover any losses in the safety of my home system, it also has a barrack so I can train troops in addition to Home2

Home2 - Troop production and resource bank.HQ1 x Barracks1 x Laboratory3 x Trade Center

With this setup on Home2 I have the capacity for 13.5million of each resource, I keep one level 20 yellow Mk3 in my home system, this is used to transfer resources to Home2 for troop production

Home3 - Resource extractor and scanner.HQ2 x Metal extractor1 x Gas extractor1 x Crystal extractor1 x Scanning array1 x Laboratory1 x Trade Center

Home3 is used as a resource production planet and has a scanner for use in times of war, I constantly build drones here and currently have over 20k drones ready for use.

With my home system set up this way I have the ability to rebuild my fleet if I lose all my outer planets, if I wish to rebuild quicker I can pop out of my home system gather some resources from either my allies or setup a resource planet and ship back to my home planets, then I can be back up to a reasonable strength to assist my fellow Jedi fairly quickly.I have seen other home system setups, but this works for me, use this as a template and modify it to how you feel is best for you.
