How many flare cards go into the cosmic deck at setup?
The rulebook's Advanced Setup gives the 10-flare floor and the designer confirmed the two-per-player count.

The flares dealt out for alien selection (two per player) all go into the cosmic deck. If that is fewer than 10, add random flares until there are 10, which only happens with fewer than five players. Flares not used this way go back in the box.
