<p>Starfinder makes some things that were hard in Pathfinder a lot easier. Resisting gas attacks with armor, or a 200 credit armor upgrade that provides Darkvision (<a href="http://archivesofnethys.com/MagicWondrousDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Goggles%20of%20Night" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">12000gp</a> in Pathfinder).</p>
<p>I'm hoping the equipment book is going to delve a lot deeper into descriptions of what Starfinder technology is capable of - so far I'm getting the feeling that for example computer technology is even a little behind our own world, while space travel and combat tech is way ahead.</p>
<p>I'm fine with the computer tech being a bit behind - if the game becomes all about leveraging power through networks, data mining, supersurveillance, AIs, operating remotely through expendable drones and so forth, it's really not a 'Finder game anymore. Space Opera in a way requires some technology to be behind, to keep the "human" element central. </p>
<p>But pushing some technology forward and others backwards, does make it far more useful to have a good book giving an explanation about what Starfinder technology is and isn't capable of in broad terms (not getting bogged down in specific buyable items).</p>Blog Post wrote:I'm the first to admit that when I first read the Starfinder Core Rulebook, I quirked an eyebrow at some of the environmental protections armor offers.
