new to game, quick question

from Sins Forums
ok I just started my first game.  Looks good so far, but I'm discovering all these planets and asteroid belts with crystal or metal asteroids I would like to mine.  I have complete control over the systems in question but have no idea how to go about building extractors in these new areas.  Is there a time limit before I offically take control over the planet and can then start building there?  I mean there is nothing left for me to attack so I'm a bit confused.  Thanks for the help

The extractors in asteroid belts and plasma storms can be captured - the actual territory remains neutral though. For TEC and Advent, you need colony ships to do this, for the Vasari their scouts have the relevant ability. Actual planets and larger asteroid can be colonised in the normal manner - if your ship can't do this immediately, it's because it doesn't have enough antimatter to use the ability yet - phase jumps use up antimatter, so it can take a while to recharge.
