Okay, HOW does one get the 100% ending?!

I did EVERYTHING: I did all the subquests (brought Bromide back to consciousness, found all 42 database entries, brought at least 50 fish to Le Jardin on Bergman Prime to get the singularity generator) and followed the storyline start to finish and never pressed ESC during any cutscenes. But it still said I got only 91% (on both different endings I found where you face the final Extranoid decision) What am I missing???

Though I do have a good trick/spoiler if you're having trouble earning money with trading/bounty hunting or would just rather take the easy way out:

This is a gambling trick that works in not just this game but just about any adventure game where you have to raise money through gambling- namely Leisure Suit Larry 1 and 5.

Once you have some Redshirts and the tractor beam, save one to beam down to Tarabis 6 since the casino will be reopened. Save your game. Bet the maximum amount you have. Restore if you lose. Stop playing and save if you win. Usually I'm pretty broke by the time this happens so I have to bet smaller amounts before I make it to the 500-credit max bet. Just keep repeating this cycle til you have around 10000 credits or so, it'll be enough to upgrade your ship and buy what you need to buy at the Bloody Towel.

And just a little side comment, I'm surprised this awesome full-length game hasn't received as much attention or acclaim as Yahtzee's other games. I liked the Rob Blanc games (lots of references to it in this one and all the same planet names) but they kinda have nothing on this game! But also that trading system is a good way to learn macroeconomics: It may be cheaper to buy from one planet but in the long-run/short-run what is the biggest marginal opportunity cost (between fuel, getting ambushed, wormhole tolls, and Galactic Police if you were smuggling). Good way to learn economics if you have to take it in college or in high school, and insanely addictive too.
If you want to know the Bible's contents, just watch Lord of the Rings or listen to the last 8 Blind Guardian albums. It's pretty much the same thing.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for youÃ,  :( but I'd like to agree that this is an awesome game. The ending sequence (from the dream-state on, including the puzzles) was pretty amazing in itself, and then you get 2 endings on top of that.
The story was a little hard for me to follow, but I understood everything once it got to the end.

Also, if you haven't already, you might want to check out another experimental game by Yahtzee, Posedion (Is that how you spell it?) 12, which is a Life Sim. From the general response, it got mixed reviews, but I liked it from what I played. The only thing bad about it is it gets VERY monotonous towards the end, and I quit because the game was too repetitive after a certain date... and because it was taking too long to get to the end.

Sorry to the mods if this doesn't belong here.

OK, but did you find all three Krun scepters?

Spoiler
They are on Itegen 5, Slovac 6 and Remus 3 respectively.

Also, if you like this game so much, I'm surprised you haven't visited Yahtzee's site at http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/gfw/ for it yet, because it has a walkthrough (at the very bottom of the site) which includes all that is needed to get 100% (and there's also a donation button if you want to show Yahtzee your appreciation).
I look just like Bobbin Threadbare.

I did find all 3 scepters (one of the subquests) and got them to Bernard to get the shield regenerator. I got all the goodies-- shield regenerator, singularity generator, the extra 5000 credits, and a working cloaking device from a now-conscious Bromide.

Also, I did get the walkthru: I did everything it asked and still keep ending with only 91%!!!! And I must've played this game like 50000 times, what do I keep missing! Are you supposed to buy EVERY ship upgrade or something? Because I found that in order to complete the game in my way, I only needed to upgrade the ship to a certain point and I'd be fine.
