## Rules questions

### During the Planning step, can I both move and take another Planning option (like heal or +2,000)?

No — during Planning you choose exactly one option: Move, Heal, +2,000 credits, or use a Planning ability; you may not take more than one (Rulebook p.7).

### If I move into a patrol space or the Maelstrom, do I have to stop and resolve it immediately?

Yes — when you enter a patrol space or the Maelstrom you must stop movement and resolve the patrol/space effect before continuing (Rulebook p.7).

### How does buying from the Market work — can I exceed my ship’s card slots?

You pay the listed cost to buy a Market card and must place it into an available card slot on your ship or crew; you cannot exceed your slot limits (Rulebook p.8).

### How do skill tests work — what do I need to roll to pass a test?

Skill tests are made with two dice and you compare the result to the test’s difficulty and any modifiers; pass/fail is determined by the skill-test thresholds shown in the rules (Rulebook p.11).

### For bounties, what's the difference between capturing a target and eliminating it?

Capturing requires defeating the target and choosing the capture option to take them alive (with the capture reward/effects), while eliminating removes the target and grants the eliminate reward; full bounty rules and outcomes are explained on the bounty/job pages (Rulebook p.13).
