He can still do side missions after gaining the IFF. I had a similar experience to Starcraft, I thought I missed a character too. I'm still doing side quests now. I'm getting each star system to 100% to make sure I didn't miss any side quests and I have the IFF. I'm refusing to use the Omega 4 Relay because I think that's going to prompt me to reinsert disc 1.
