Me... I really LOATHE 'humans are special/superior' as a trope not only because I deem it disgustingly arrogant. (Look at human history, we're not THAT great. We kill eachother alot over everything and despoil the planet. Sure humanity has good traits to, but it's FAR from a superior intelligent species.)
And secondly it diminished alien races as mere quirky background to beat around for the oh-so-superior humans, rather then actual species with real characters.
-
Good ideas? Hardly. It turns the captain into a sort of Wesley f'in Crusher, mary-sue-ily succeeding to solve mysteries that far more advanced alien superbrains couldn't figure out over billions of years.
Then adds a repugnant little moral about how humans are better then aliens, which is hilariously arrogant coming from human writers. (And kind of racist come to think about it.)
So thanks but no thanks on the SC3 plot.

@WUZLE Yeah, in fact the ideas were so good that Bioware chose to rip off the story and setting almost verbatim. I've been replaying SC2 for the first time in years (though I missed SC3 first time round) and was starting to get the feeling that it was a little too similar to Mass Effect, but this clenches it. ME's story is just a SC redux.

More dinosaurs, which is how they're described in SC2.

What. WHAT!? PRECURSORS ARE FUCKING COWS? Somebody clense my mind so I ma yenjoy SC2 again...

The melee looked better and play more dynamic than in Starcon2, but the story line lacked "wow" factor of the second game. Star Control 3 had the most complex story and brings every thing togather for 1&2, but the meaning of the story was lost in all the insignificant details, and insignificant races that you wish you could just threatened to nuke if they didn't play ball.
The lack luster missions/challenges and constant condensation form lesser races is what killed some of the fun for me.

Gotta hand it to the developers, this IS an interesting way to get around the Fermi Paradox.

Probably the best part of a very bad game. There are some good ideas here, they are just buried in the crap.

@WUZLE That's how I feel about a lot of Starcon3 really.
