In the Rule “Resources”, amend the phrase:

A Captain may never gain, for any reason, resources for free.

to the following:

A Captain may never gain Resources for free, except when explicitly permitted by Rule 2.3.

This should allow Spectroscopy rewards while still closing off scams, unless there is one in 2.3 I’m missing.

for Although the whole idea of whether or not we can say that a gained resource was awarded “for free” seems a bit flimsy. If I have to take a couple of daily Actions to reach a particular Sector and pick up a bonus Resource from it, was that Resource “free”, or do we count the time and opportunity costs I had to expend in order to gain it?

for Kevan. I think that the rule is completely useless unless we define free. As long as the player has to do something it isn’t free.
