Since I had the "how to beat Starflight I in two days flat", I setup another "how to beat Starflight II in five days flat"
Now of course if you're lucky or really fast, you can shave that down to three days, but most people would be comfortable with 4-5 days.

1. This method of beating the game quickly requires utilizing two bugs. If you don't want to ruin your game experience, don't follow them. The standard goods a race sells are quite random. You may have to trave back and forth several times between the two Tandelou Systems before finding a cargo that they will both purchase and sell.
2. Avoid the invisible flux at 33,70 - you can get yourself seriously lost quickly. And with no navigation training, no way to find youself.
3. All you really need are Class 5 shields, Class 5 engines, and a fully trained Navigator.
4. Be aware of the communications bug. If Gorzek will not respond, exit and save the game, and use some utility such as CPUGrab or Dosbox to slow your PC down by at least 90-95%. Once he finishes communicating with you, you can speed the game back up
STEP #1:         Hire a crew without humans        
STEP #2:         Name your ship and sell off everything but engines        
STEP #3:         (1) Travel South to the Eshvara (35,69 - P2) and look for a product you can both buy and sell.        
STEP #4:         If you find nothing, buy 5-10 CU of every standard good you don't have.        
STEP #5:         (2) Travel to the Eshvey (29,74 - P1) and repeat. Keep going back and forth from the Eshvara to the Eshvey till you find something.        
STEP #6:         When you find something they will both buy and sell, buy 0.1 units for 65000, and then sell off your entire load of that cargo.        
STEP #7:         (3) Go back to Starbase (35,73 - P1), fully equip your ship and train a crew. Buy two Blasto Pods if you want.        
STEP #8:         Flux travel: 33,70 then 69,82 then 181,154.        
STEP #9:         Fly to 244, 149, raise shields before entering anomoly.        
STEP #10:         Flux travel: 249,140 then 206,5 then 156,47 then 99,197        
STEP #11:         Travel to 131,219 planet 1        
STEP #12:         Go into combat mode, leave visual range, then exit to bypass the guardian.                
STEP #13:         Land at 26S X 135E
STEP #14:         Flux travel: 126,211 then 98,197 then 153,53 then 196,2
STEP #15:         Fly to 244, 149, raise shields before entering anomoly.
STEP #16:         Flux travel: 215,171 then 181,153 then 70,82
STEP #17:         Go back to Starbase (35,73 - P1)
STEP #18:         (4) Communicate with Pick up Gorzek (28,79 - P4)
STEP #19:         Flux travel: 33,70 then 71,82 (or use a Jump Pod to get there)
STEP #20:         Travel to 117,153 planet 2
STEP #21:         Get out of immediate range and use two Blastopods (or fight them normally)
STEP #22:         Kill any surviving Umanu ships
STEP #23:         Communicate, use the UHL weapon, win the game.
Now of course if you're lucky or really fast, you can shave that down to three days, but most people would be comfortable with 4-5 days.
