Many new players try to get their steel from expedition. The primary use of expedition is to get food and water; dismantle is a much better way to get steel!
An idle ship earns only 1 GEM per income phase, and scores ZERO points at the end of the game. (Unless you're playing a certain advanced hub.) A big burst of steel now is much better!
VP tokens are good; 40 VPs will end the game, and you should try to get close to it in almost all games. When in doubt, take food / water / steel over a VP, and a VP over 2 gems.
The more resources / VP you get from an income turn, the less you need to care about GEMS, because all running out of GEMS does is force you to take an income turn.
