Here is a guide I created after finally being able to bring the whole crew back home, it will give you several achievements all in one go - getting home, keeping the final gate open or destroying it, and getting the whole crew back home.
Its important to note that I had about 10 runs so far with the game and tried various seeds and each indeed gives you a different galaxy and aliens and quests, but each one had its own struggle.
the guide here is while i used the seed - ANDROMEDA
-You have to plan ahead and restart your journey if you feel you cant make it.
-I picked Siobhan, Allessandra, Miriam and Zoe, they all have good items to sell that will help you.
-At the first system do some farming of exotic material (green) and asteroid fields.
-Try and maintain a diagonal route towards earth (as much as possible).
-At the second system wait and engage an alien to help with a quest, this might take you to another system.
After its done you will finally get some credits. I got a quest to help an alien get some relic, and another time there was a quest to play a pirate to save a princess.. all fun and reward around 300-400 Credits.
-Keep jumping towards the gate and visit stations along the way - bargain and sell your items, I made about 500 Credits.
- in each station and also at the gate, look to buy a radiation shield and extra exotic matter tanks.
- If you got all this by the 2nd Nebula you are on a roll and can rush home.
- keep jumping, refueling at stars (dont pay), fix your hull and buy fuel at each station/gate
- when you reach the nebula with low radiation, do many rounds around a star and fill up the 4 exotic material tanks.
- visit asteroids as they are easy and fill up your cargo with hull and exotic emergency items
Notes to remember:
- keep watch of your money, gates cost between 30 and 300 credits and can go up if an alien is hostile to you for some reason.
- at the final nebula, there are many pirates, plan to jump straight home without stopping even to refuel, so better to have full 4 tanks right from entry.
- the final gate that leads to SOL is free, you just have to decide if you keep it open or destroy it after entry, 2 different playthroughs.
Good luck
