Can I unlock the Crystal Cruiser with Type C of the Rock Cruiser?
I have noticed that the Type C Rock Cruiser starts with a Crystal crewmember.
Does this mean I can unlock the Crystal Cruiser by simply finding the Rock Homeworld with the Rock Cruiser Type C, and bypassing the first two steps of the quest chain to unlock the Crystal Cruiser?
I still have not unlocked this ship because the chances of getting all the events for this quest chain is very low. The first two events are only to get a Crystal crew member, so if I can skip those then I would be greatly increasing my chances of finally completing this quest and unlocking my last ship.

I guess I should have read the updated wiki page that I linked in my question before posting.
Alternatively, the Rock Cruiser type C in the Advanced Edition starts with a single Crystal aboard the ship, allowing you to skip the first two events normally required in order to allow access to the blue option when you find the Ancient Device. This method requires completion of the other two achievements (or repeating this achievement) due to needing the Rock Cruiser type B. Although it still requires luck to find the Rock Homeworlds and to unlock both the Type B and Type C ships, it requires arguably much less luck than the previous method.
I'll be testing it out later on to be sure, but I'm guessing that got added to the wiki page because someone already confirmed it :)

Answer 2
Yes you can use the Rock Cruiser Type C's crystal member. And even better, if you name the crystal crewmember "Ruwen" you get a quest marker instead of a normal beacon when you enter the Rock Homeworld so you don't risk missing it.
