Restricted Planets

A new feature added to the game are Restricted Planets.

Restricted Planets are much like normal planets however their authorities don't just let any old riff raff to dock.

Access to these planets will be granted to those who achieve certain tasks or achievements within the game, and they will receive a special invitation directly through the in-game message system, so keep you eyes peeled for one.

These planets all have exclusive features not found anywhere else in the game, so it is well worth finding out what you have to do to be granted access to them.

There are currently three restricted planets: Refuge (a pirate world in Alpha Centauri), Navy HQ (a navy base in Sol) and the mythical Bikini Model World (A tropical paradise in the Sirius System)

Note: How do I know if I have access?. Well if you have been granted access, navigate to the Encyclopaedia Planetary and click on one of the restricted planets. If you can travel there, the detail page will tell you so.

Note: How do I travel to the planet?. Upon getting access, you will notice an additional section available on the normal travel pages, where, in the drop down list of planets there will be a brand new section at the bottom called Restricted Planets, and it will list all the planets to which you have been granted access.

Note: The adventurous amongst you might consider navigating there by dead reckoning (using coords). It may work, it may not ;).

Note: Capsules. Players "fortunate" enough to find themselves in an escape capsule near a restricted planet will be granted temporary access to that planet whilst they remain in the capsule. It's worth noting that not every restricted planet will have a wide range of ships or even a shipyard, so you may find yourself off somewhere else afterwards anyway.
