Throughout the game, you’ll strategically deploy your 3 drop ships onto the main board to harvest resources, then recall them to your player mat to activate outfittings. Upgrade your player mat to expand tapstone storage and enhance your company’s operations. Add harvesters and crewmates to your drop ships to gain placement bonuses. Collect tapstones at collection ports and keep them on your player mat (to potentially gain fame whenever you recall your drop ships) until you then spend them to perform actions, gain wonders, and advance along the wonder tracks (all benefits that can also gain fame).
