Having applied some reasonable decipherment techniques to this conversation and gotten nothing, I just checked the data files. As I have expected, there are no other interaction options with the Harmony. So, I guess, they're just mobs. But I did expect something like Slylandro puzzle. Unfortunately, Origins seem completely dumb and straightforward with no space for thinking as with the Deep Child or the Slylandro coordinate system as in Star Control II. Seems even simpler than Star Co

All the suggestions here are totally right from my PoV. But unfortunately, the fuel mechanics is part of the game core (design-wide). I mean, the campaign structure and pace depends on it and any changes will require a massive campaign overhaul. Plus, SC:O is a casual games, and casual games are renowned to be obsessively soft and kind to players. How would you explain running out of fuel to that guy who has lost a lander on Venus, then lost another, then decided the game's broken? xD

There is yet a bigger question: why are those colonies? They seem exceptionally useless.

There should be a beacon somewhere there that broadcasts the Free Trandals' location. This is not of special importance.

There is a *really* heavily guarded planet in the Arcturus system, but this planet cannot be reached, as it is outside the gravity well of the star and, therefore, a hyperspace jump is triggered before the flagship is able to reach it, Is it a bug or a feature?

Nah, this was a questionable solution even for Star Control II, let alone Origins. Firstly, the second range circle is only good when you make a two-way trip. If you're in a resourcing raid, yu're likely to visit a number of distant stars with an undefinite number of planets around them. So, even a single circle is not accurate enough. Secondly, there was only one fuel distribution point in Star Contorl II, but in Origin we can resupply at every homeworld and also some colonie

The quest for the Singularity Launcher is given by a Tywom vesser near the Precursor starbase in the Llorven cluster. I believe it has nothing to do with Clavis Aurea. P.S. Epic ships?!! Have you seen Harmony Battlecruisers?
