Maybe someone can answer this for me.
I thought that Quebec was looking to be a sovereign nation, but still carry the same currency, military, federal support etc.
What was the position on that?
The position was that Quebec, with some 7 million inhabitants, had approximately 7 million different points of view. There isn't, wasn't and never will be a single "Quebec" position.
Mr Parizeau wanted out of out independence, and was prepared to issue an unconstitutional declaration of independence had he won the vote and the secession negotiations foundered. Mr Parizeau never believed that Canada would negotiate independence in good faith. He was the only Quebec secessionist leader who understood English Canada and understood that English Canadians are every bit as irrational and hotheaded as their latin French Canadian counterparts.
Mr Bouchard, despite having served in the federal cabinet, never "got" English Canadians, and never understood English Canadians' irrational desire to punish Quebec were it to vote for independence. One would think that the anti-Quebec English Canadians would be ecstatic to rid themselves of this most bothersome and expensive province, and so Mr Bouchard mistakenly thought that he would find good faith negotiators on the other side whose goal would be to achieve an amicable separation with the least possible disruption to commerce (many French Quebecers have this mistaken notion that English Canadians' main or only purpose in business and commerce). Thus he couldn't comprehend why Canadians would not want to negotiate a free-trade, customs and monetary union with an independent Quebec, and thus assumed that such a union would be achievable. The Bouchard amendment to the referendum question contemplated negotiations for the purposes of achieving such a union. Some Quebec voters viewed the referendum vote like a union strike vote - the union needs the strike vote to have a strong negotiating position even if no one wants to strike; these Quebecers somehow thought that a "yes" vote would strengthen the hand of Quebec within Canada - it was in referring to these voters that Parizeau made his "lobsters in a trap" comment.
In the end, Quebec voted for the status quo, so as to the question of what "Quebec" was looking to achieve, it was the status quo. Don't conflate the position of any particular government of the day or government leader with the views of "Quebec".
