Which Experts count for the corrected Milestone? Official
Count the three preprinted Experts and all Experts you bought, including Mission Coordinators, Pilots and Mechanics. Icons printed on cards do not count. The designer’s October 20, 2026 FAQ corrects the printed word “engineers” to “experts.”

Do unused Pilot and Mechanic tiles score? Official
Yes. Each unused Pilot or Mechanic tile scores 2 points. When used, activate the action on its connected Expert Action Tile.

What phase name is corrected on page 11? Official
The card-drawing instruction’s reference to the “planning phase” should read “preparation phase.” The separate second phase is still called the Planning Phase.

Does an Explorer on the Harbor count as Presence for a Station upgrade?
No. Explorers count as Presence only when they are on Landscapes or Station Sites. This clarification appears in a BGG rules thread, not the current manual.

When does a Meteorite count as an explored Landscape?
Once an explored Landscape is adjacent to it, treat the Meteorite as an explored Landscape for rules that use that term. This clarification appears in a BGG rules-thread response, not the current manual.
Do we use all Mission Coordinators during setup? Official
Yes. Place all 16 Mission Coordinators in the shared supply. The designer’s FAQ says to use them all; the rulebook illustration may make them appear to be a smaller pile.
