You know you can have multiple people on the same planet running PI, right?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I've never seen this. I'm using planets near Jita.

I have a feeling you are doing something wrong. Make sure you have Remote Sensing 1 trained for starters.

I have 4.1 million SP in planetary management, and I know how to set up a colony . . .

Check every planet in Urlen they all say "unable to build: maximum number of colonies reached"

Yep, train up Interplanetary Consolidation this will get you the ability to use a max (w/ IC V) of six command structures (so 6 planets) you can run PI on. If possible, I would suggest at least low - sec. There are plenty of "quiet places". I would suggest training racial Industrial to V ,Transports to III and Cloaking to IV. This all equals the covert ops transport so you can run low and null with lowered risk. That's where the PI money is.

Are you getting this message: "Unable to build: Maximum number of colonies reached." ?

Thats the message you get when your character already has as many PI colonies as allowed by his Command Center Upgrades skill level. You can't build another command center until you decommision an existing one. Check the planets tab of your science and industry window to see where your existing colonies are located, its easy to forget about colonies you haven't worked in a while.


Edit: ugh, I mentioned the wrong skill above. Interplanetary Consolidation is the skill that controls max number of colonies, not Command Center Upgrades. Kudos go to Vexed Nova for pointing out my error two posts down.

Clarification:
I believe Command Center Upgrades for the Level of the Command Center and Interplanetary Consolidation is for how many Command Centers you can have total?

that means that YOU have the max number of colonies for your skills. youll need to delete command centers on planets you arent using.

That's YOUR max not the planet....

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

lol, this is embarrassing, for you I mean, but that "unable to build: maximum number of colonies reached" has nothing to do with the planets. What it means is you have already placed your maximum number of colonies your skills allow. There is no limit to the number of players that can use a single planet, but the more players are using it the lower yields it will give.

You start with only being able to place a single command center, on any planet. By training Interplanetary Consolidation or what ever it is you can have up to 6 colonies. +1 for each level of the skill and the base 1 you start with.

Click the science and industry tab on the left side of your screen, then click the planets tab in the window that pops up. it will show you all the colonies that character has, and what planet they are on. With max skills you can only have 6 colonies, and only 1 per planet. However, most players only train it to 4 for a max of 5 colonies.

For those of you are new to PI, check out my basics info in the Industrialist (shameless plug). I will be adding more in-depth stuff in the next issue based on my experiences.
