I heard that if I rename the Crystal Crewmember on Rock C to 'Ruwen' you can go straight to the ancient device without having to deal with the stasis pod, but I also heard that doesn't work too, so I'm not sure. Anyone know the deal?

It partially works.

If you already have a Crystal crewmember, you don't need to do the stasis pod part of the quest. However, the beacon to the Crystal Homeworlds will not be marked if you didn't do the first two parts of the quest, so you have to be lucky to find it by accident, potentially narrowing it down if you have Long Range Scanners and can exclude some beacons.

At first, re-naming your Crystal crew to Ruwen would cause the beacon to be marked when you enter the Rock Homeworlds. However, that was patched out of the game.
