Oooooooo...
Cool. I like the idea of the exterior scene on the reverse side.

I've just seen that this will be a "bigger" flip-mat.
The interior of the "Sunrise Maiden" is 20 square broad and 37 squares long, but the hull is about 10 squares broader and 5 squares longer on the interior back cover of AP #1.
A "bigger" flip-mat is 27 squares broad and 39 squares long.
It will be good to have a little space on the port and starboard sides for entry into the two cargo holds.

Very good idea. Although it's would be much more useful if it was released earlier.

Seconded, great idea, a little bit too late for early adopters.

I'm curious to know how they'll fit the ship and the docking bay details on the other side of the map. It seems the ship interior will just fit on the bigger map with a little to spare. The hull and full wingspan should take up more space. I don't know how they're going to have room for any of the docking bay details.

The exterior map shows one side and wing of the ship and the docking bay, not the entire exterior.

That makes sense. Thanks, Rob!

Is this "over-sized" Flip-Mat format the new standard, or only for some products released?
It is not the standard, it's identical to the "Bigger Flip-mat" products of the Pathfinder line (which fold down to the same 8 x 10 squares as the normal ones).
That being said, the Starfinder flip-mat line seems to use the "oversized" size more often than the Pathfinder line, which in this case (and with other starships) is necessary due to the size of the ship.In other cases (like the next one "Asteroids") it feels totally unnecessary to make it 27 x 39 instead of 24 x 30 in my opinion.

It seems you were on to something:
The next two Starfinder Flip-Mats are going to be oversized.There are now 9 "Bigger" Pathfinder flip-mats & 5 "oversized" Starfinder flipmats.

I just want to make sure I am not using an out-dated format to make maps that could be used on Flip-Mats and related items. If both formats are still being used for the foreseeable future, then I can accommodate that pretty easily in my designs.
I do not own any of the bigger/over-sized map products, but own many 24x30 Flip-Mats, quite a few Map Packs by Paizo, as well as several sets of older D&D modular tile sets (two-sided, not very marker friendly, and come in a box with maps on its two main faces, top/bottom). I always wondered if Paizo might eventually employ this sort of multi-function product layout (like Vic mentioned on the other thread.

At the moment, 24x30 is still the standard for Starfinder Flip-Mats (the product descriptions for upcoming Flip-Mats have been fixed to display the correct size). There will be occasional bigger exceptions, like the Basic Starfield and Sunrise Maiden Flip-Mats.
How did I miss this annoucement?!?
Really looking forward to this one! :)
Why must we wait so damned long?

I wonder how usefull this will be in the AP with players making changes to their version of the Sunrise Maiden.

It would have been and still would be nice to have a map pack of ALL of the combat area from the AP. I was highly disappointed that the Club/bar map wasn't of the place in pt 1 of the AP. I have been pretty disappointed in how useless the Flip maps have been to running the AP.
I can see a scenario in the future, where you will deal with a Hesper using this map.
Is it just me or is the scale of the ship different on each side? The side showing the interior shows the entire length of the ship from nose to tail, but the side showing the exterior does not. They're almost the same, pretty close actually, but the difference when viewed side by side stands out to me.

You are correct.
Sadly two or three squares of the cockpit are missing at the front. ;-(
Yes, it's in Starfinder Adventure Path #1: Incident at Absalom Station.
