1. Sophons, late game


CHAPTER 4: ON SOPHONITY


Obtain 5 new Science Technologies. (0/5)



What are these exactly and how do you get them?


I'd researched 5 techs in the Science tree and nothing happened. Nearly finished researching the entire tree and still no progress had been made on this quest so I'd began to assume it's just not working. Gave up and just allied with half the galaxy to win the game.



2. Cravers, beginning


CHAPTER 1: OF OUR OWN BROOD - PART 1


Send a fleet to intercept the hostile Craver vessel.

(Gameplay Hint: Use the Fleet Action "Guard" when your fleet orbits the same System as the mysterious vessel.)



Sent a scout there and guarded, 2 turns, nothing happened. Colony ship arrived and guarded for 1 turn, then colonized. Researched tech for Military ships and sent that there for 3 turns and guarded, and nothing happened. Quit that game.
