Disclaimer: I have absolutely no affiliation with Star Control 3. Star Control 3is made by Accolade. I am just an above average player.
Please note: The game can be one in many different orders. The first time I played the game through, I followed a different order to win the game, and even skipped a few things. Also, be aware that somethings in the game are time based, and appear a certail number of days after you have completed a certain task. If you can't progress, save the game, and wait a few game days and see if anything happens.
