## Rules questions

### Do I immediately claim a planet card and its VPs when my ship lands/finishes the colony track?

When a ship reaches the final space of a colony track (colonizes) you claim that planet card and immediately score its Victory Points (page 7).

### What's the difference between landing and orbiting — do they give different benefits?

Landing places a ship on the planet surface and allows it to advance the colony track, while orbiting keeps the ship in orbit where it still produces resources but does not advance colonization (pages 5–6).

### Can other players "follow" my die activation, and what happens to used dice?

Yes — when you activate a die other players may take the same action by following; activated dice become used/inactive and then follow the normal reroll/end‑of‑turn rules (page 4).

### How does the Converter work — can I change a die to any value?

Using the Converter you change one die by spending two other inactive dice as the cost, allowing you to set that die to a different face (page 9).

### What ends the game — do I stop immediately when someone hits 21 VP?

When a player reaches 21 Victory Points the round is finished so all players get the same number of turns, then the game ends and Secret Missions are revealed for final scoring (pages 4, 9).

### Is there a limit to how many resources I can hold?

Yes — resource tracks have a maximum of 7 and you cannot advance past that limit (page 6).
