Yes. You may place one development and one world, but you must pay the full cost and you do not draw the usual card for placing a world. Alternatively, placing only a development reduces its payment by 1, while placing only a world lets you draw 1 card (p. 1).

No. A military world with a red-outlined defense must be conquered using military icons or powers meeting its defense; you cannot combine military strength with card payments. A Contact Specialist can let you pay for a non-Alien military world instead, at a cost reduced by 1 (p. 1).

A Colony Convoy or Military Convoy can let you place a second world after the first world has been paid for or conquered, but never more than two worlds in a round. The second world is placed before scoring, and a card drawn because you did not place a development may be used for it (p. 2).

Instead of placing cards, place an Explore marker, draw 2 cards plus cards equal to your empire’s Explore icons—including the marker’s 3 icons—and then discard cards equal to your Explore icons for a net gain of 2 cards. The marker’s icons apply only to that Explore action, not to later Explores or card powers (p. 2).

You score every card in your empire each round, including repeated cards and any variable bonuses they provide; place the round’s VP chips beneath the relevant cards or marker. The game ends immediately when any player reaches at least 50 total VP chips (p. 2).

Only temporarily during the round. After everyone collects income, any player with more than 10 cards must discard down to 10 (p. 2).
