Milestones and Scoring

Resolve the three midgame Milestone checks, then calculate final victory points.

Milestone timing

Score Milestones after rounds 3, 5 and 6. Each Milestone card has separate thresholds for those three checks. At each check, place the matching I, II or III tile on one available Milestone: your personal card or a common card. Meet the first threshold for its lower value or the second threshold for its higher value. A Milestone card may be scored only once by a player.

At setup, each player gets a personal Milestone through a reverse-order draft; the two remaining cards become common. In solo, place three of four drawn Milestones as common and return the last card to the box.

Final scoring after round 6

Add these categories:

1. Experts: score 2 points for the fourth and fifth Expert in each column, and 1 point for each Mission Coordinator. Follow the printed Pilot/Mechanic scoring on the selected Expert Action Tiles; unused Pilot and Mechanic tiles are worth 2 points each per the designer FAQ.
2. Expedition Track: score all points shown on spaces reached.
3. Station Sites: add points printed on your built sites.
4. Stations: add points shown for Stations removed from your Tableau.
5. Upgrades: add points shown for Upgrades removed from your Tableau.
6. Adjacent upgraded Stations: lose 3 points for each of your Upgraded Stations directly adjacent to another of your own Upgraded Stations.
7. Expedition Cards: add printed end-game points in your deck.
8. Project Cards: score Projects in play, including their conditional end-game effects.
9. Milestones: add points on your scored Milestone tiles.

Some Meteorites add Presence-based final points or other rewards. Check the chosen Meteorite’s text. Highest total wins; ties go to the player with more Coins. If still tied, share the victory.

Designer errata and FAQ

The designer’s 20 October 2026 FAQ corrects a Milestone label on page 17: “engineers” should read “experts.” That Milestone counts the three preprinted Experts and all purchased Experts (Mission Coordinators, Pilots and Mechanics); icons printed on cards do not count. The FAQ also states that an unused Pilot or Mechanic scores 2 points.
