Hello,
I have a question about the action phase. There are 3 different actions (tactial, strategic, component). Are there any order how these actions must be resolved?
For example: Can I do an activation then do the component action, then production, movement and so on or the first is the tactical and must to the steps in order then the strategic and the component?
When it's your turn , you may take one action of any type, and which action it is is entirely up to you, you are not required by rule to do any one type of action before another. You are not limited, by rule, to do the actions in the order listed.
If you have the technology that lets you do two actions on one turn (Fleet Logistics), you can do that. If so, you take those two actions one at a time, in any order, but you complete the first one in its entirety before starting the second one. This means that if you decide to do a Strategic action as the first one (say, technology), everyone else get's to do the secondary part of it (and buy their own tech) before you can start your second action.
Edit: You may also pass your turn, but you may only pass if you have already done your Strategy card. Once you pass once, you are "done" for the action phase i.e. you auto-pass all subsequent turns in the same action phase. If you have passed, you may not take any more tactical actions or component actions, and you may not play action cards that require an action, BUT you may still do the secondary part of other players's strategy cards when they activate the primary.
Edited by FrinkiacVIIThank you for this fast and detailed answer, its much more then I expected. I really appreciate it.
Also, to clarify: Everyone gets one action in initiative order, then everyone gets another action in initiative order, then another and so forth until you choose to pass.
One of the things I put together was a "high-level overview" visual aid that I use when first teaching the game to new players. It's intentionally not a rules summary or anything else that you'd leave out during the game, but it's very helpful for understanding the basic structure of the game (round -> phase -> turn).
