[4/21/2020 After 4 sessions of Alpha Dawn and 2 Sessions of Expanded, this is where I stopped. Right after I entered into the ship and found the scorched pilot. I'm not sure why I stopped, but I definitely lost interest because I never did return to finish the spaceship exploration after finding it. I seem to recall that WotC released once again Star Frontiers maybe during this post or shortly after. When I had started the post, the game was available for free on a not-for profit basis, and I had to change the italic text below the picture. In fact, before publishing this post I am also changing the text. Or maybe I just mainly cared about finding the ship rather than about what actually happened. Anyway, here is where I stopped]
Star Frontiers series
Star Frontiers: Alpha Dawn Gameplay (Part 1) Character Creation and rules summary
Star Frontiers Game Play: part 2: first adventure
Star Frontiers: Alpha Dawn Gameplay (Part 3) The chase
Star Frontiers Alpha Dawn Expanded character.
Star Frontiers: Expanded - sample adventure
Star Frontiers: Expanded - sample adventure (part 2)
Star Frontiers is once available again. Also there are Star Frontiersman and Frontier Explorer downloadable magazines.
This is from the expanded rule book on page 58, the Sample Adventure.
I've realized that the rules are much heavier than the basic rules. So I find the rules too cumbersome for solo gaming, I'll default to the basic rules for hopefully quicker resolution.

Ethest pushed and parted disturbed foliage—gripper vines, a few hook thorns, and even some purple berry bushes not yet blooming—finally revealing an open rear entry door. It was elevated in the air slightly.At least it appears someone or something had escaped.
Ethest pulled himself up into the entryway.
Pulling on the lever, the inner hatch door remained locked.
He slid his ID card hoping for the best.
A warning horn erupted.
He swallowed with his now drying mouth the best he could the lessening saliva down his now narrowing throat.
Ethest tried pressing a few buttons and another horn signaled.
Soon a message began, "Only authorized Hepplewhite, Inc., employees are allowed past this point. Please enter your security code."
Security code?
He winced and began to rub his forehead and temple to try alleviating pain that the message had caused.
Ethest intensely stared at the alpha-numerical console a moment. The button symbols seemed to blur and fade. He gave an impatient sneer at the console. "Bloody hell!"
Removing one fragmentation grenade from his waist, he twisted a knob activating the electromagnetic function. He attached the grenade to the locked inner hatch door. A twist of the timer gave him plenty of time to evacuate the blast that was soon to follow.
"BOOM!"
Glancing up at the door the door had fallen to the ground several feet (meters) away from where it had previously been attached.
He pulled himself back up, carefully avoiding the fallen door, hitting his fist against the security console, and entered into the ship.
Inside, a short ladder leads up towards the direction of the cockpit, the interior smelled of burnt Sulphur, possibly from the grenade.
He climbs the ladder, his laser pistol in hand, and the lights flickered occasionally. Behind the chair sat the scorched remains of a human pilot. The instrument panel was also scorched and in ruin.
