Ha! I'm laughing at myself. I looked through my logs and I see I did the same thing as you. I talked to Pilman multiple times.
Hmm. How much of a hint should I give you... How about this: You've broadcasted your tech base to all of the aliens. Maybe you should reach out to some of them to see if they have any insights to this problem?

And if you prefer to just have the answer, it's: talk to the Ulooquo, the people you buy stories from.

If a conversation with some alien or other is necessary to unlock that, then the mission entry is very badly written. Because it literally said "talk to Dr. Pilman" not "talk to alien-XYZ"

I think Pillman is bugged. I'm stuck on the disease quest and every source I can find says the next step is to talk to Pillman, but all i get is the stupid pottery dialogue over and over again. For some reason it won't clear.

If it really is the one we're all talking about, you have to stop talking to Pilman. Maybe it's just going to another person or another tab, or maybe you have to undock and redock. I don't remember exactly. But after leaving and coming back to Pilman, you get the next part of the quest.

If it's not that part, tell me what your most recent item for this quest is in your log. Then I can search my log for that entry, and see which one shows up next in my list.

Didn't work for me. In the end I had to start over and hen it did work the next time around.
