## Rules questions

### Can I put two of my commandos on the same task?

No — on each task there can only be one commando, and you cannot choose a task already occupied by one of your or another player's commandos (page 5).

### If I take a Level IV task, does my commando stay there or come back immediately?

After carrying out a level IV task you place a settler on the task panel intercom and then immediately return that commando to the main rest area for level I, so it becomes available again (page 6).

### When I promote a commando, do I have to pay extra to do a task the same turn? What about the leader?

You may pay the red quick-ascent cost on the promotion connection to perform a task the same turn you promote a commando, but the commando leader can do this without paying the quick-ascent cost (page 7).

### Can I construct a building on a space before its regenerator is built, or if my energy is too low?

You can only build in an empty space whose associated regenerator is already built, and a building/regenerator is available to you only if it is in the same area or below the area indicated by your energy counter on your command console; the fuel cost depends on the regenerator level (pages 8, 13).

### When can I play a mission or take a blueprint, and how many can I do per turn?

At the beginning or end of your turn you may complete one mission and/or take one blueprint if you meet its requirements, but you can do at most one mission and one blueprint per turn (page 12).

### How do I calculate my fuel income at the end of the round?

At round end each player receives fuel as indicated on their command console’s fuel track; the amount is indicated by either the left development marker or the energy counter, whichever is lower (page 15).
