## Rules Changes
* The maximum number of possible Space Lanes per System is ignored. Only the physical limitations are used.

* Capturing a Rival’s Research Node, no longer allows you to seize one of that Rival’s Active Projects. Instead, the Rival must give you 1 Research from one of their Active Projects or their Reserve, if available.

#### Rules Clarifications
* Advancements may be used on any Player’s Turn, unless stated otherwise.
* Advancements that affect dice rolls may only be used once per individual die.
* Advancements that don't affect dice rolls may only be used in between a Rival’s Commands and not during their resolution, unless stated otherwise. Players must give others the chance to use Advancements in between their Commands.
