Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Can I activate a system that already has one of my command tokens?
No. You cannot activate a system containing one of your command tokens, but other players’ command tokens do not prevent you from activating it (pp. 9, 33).
Can my ships move through a system with one of my command tokens?
Yes, but they cannot start their movement in a system containing one of your command tokens. They may move through systems containing your tokens, and must end their movement in the active system (p. 23).
Do I have to move ships during a tactical action to produce units?
No. You may choose not to move ships, and you may produce units during the Production step even if you did not move ships or land ground forces (p. 33).
When can I pass, and can I still use other players’ strategy-card abilities after passing?
You cannot pass until you have performed the strategic action on your strategy card; in a three- or four-player game, you must use both of your strategy cards first. After passing, you have no more turns, but you can still resolve secondary abilities of other players’ strategy cards (pp. 8, 31).
Can I split my votes on an agenda or spend trade goods to vote?
No. All votes you cast on an agenda must support the same outcome, and trade goods cannot be spent to vote. You cast votes by exhausting planets and must cast each exhausted planet’s full influence value (p. 10).
Can I score a public objective if I don’t control every planet in my home system?
No. You cannot score public objectives unless you control each planet in your home system (p. 24).
