Everything that happens in Final Frontier hinges on that card-based decision system, so make sure you study each card very carefully before deciding which choice to make. It sounds like basic stuff, but it's always worth keeping in mind because the game is known to hit you with trick questions. Failing to re-read is often the difference between pleasing the wrong people and making enemies out of the right ones. It's not rocket science, although that is what's propelling you through deep space.
