Does a card discarded during a phase still count toward a goal?

Rests on a community report plus the designer's comments that goals are checked at phase end; no direct ruling on this case.

No. Goals are checked at the end of a phase (after the discard), so a card that left the tableau, such as a discarded Colony Ship, no longer counts.
