asked before but not answered unless dig and fetch are failing me
Other abilities are never available. No ability that is not explicitly called out in the spell description can be gained from this spell
The abilities amphibious, breath weapon, breathing, compression, defensive abilities, limited telepathy, racial traits, senses, and trample are called out as being available by the spell, but they're nested in the descriptor.
Is the SFS restriction supposed to apply to them, or is the SFS restriction just to keep the players from raiding the alien archives for obscure alien abilities?
(i tried making a 3d rules reference for even the normal starfinder polymorph rules but the diagram summoned cthulu)

I've been reading the restriction as referring to any ability not already covered by the existing rules (such as a racial ability from a non-character race).
If it's an option (for your form) presented in the rules (including Breath Weapons, compression, amphibious, etc), you can take it.If it's an option (for your form) not presented in the rules (such as Swallow Whole), it's your GM's decision.
If you are playing SFS, that decision is 'No, you can not take that ability if it is not specifically allowed by the polymorph rules.'
ADDENDUM: A few other polymorph questions I've had can be found here: https://paizo.com/threads/rzs43pm7?Polymorph-A-few-questions#1
Also, does a Spell Gem of Polymorph offer the creator's form options or the caster's (who might not even have any forms if they don't know the spell)?
