Experienced GMs will use this to their advantage, and start their groups out with sample characters based on the Iconics before branching off and making the game their own. Aside from the Iconic characters and the exotic races, what makes Starfinder so special are the options for space-based combat. The core conceit is that every party of three to six players will have their own starship.
Battles, fought on a hex-based map, are surprisingly complex affairs with barrel rolls, evasions and other elaborate three-dimensional maneuvers. The system scales well, and takes into account small one-man fighters as well as capital ships. That got old quickly, however. Spending too much time in space combat with a large group of players at the table is likely to drag a bit, especially when only a few characters get to make meaningful actions every round.
It will be up to GMs to encourage role-playing to fill these gaps, and to the players themselves to make their own fun during encounters that may have a tendency to drag. But once on the ground the game felt like a well-tuned dbased experience, which it is. Ranges were such that the game is unlikely to feel like a miniatures wargame, and work to keep encounters fast and lethal.
My character, Quig, had a hand-made drone named Scout that he could use to fly ahead of the group. Outfitted with an integrated pistol, it even made for a decent weapons platform. Our play session only lasted a few hours, but I was left with the impression of a game that can easily transform into anything that the players want it to be.
