Cool.

Neat. Thank you, Chris!

Do the ships presented on the maps correlate to specific models of ships from the Core Rulebook?

The starships on the flip-mat are meant to be "generic" starships that any GM could use and do not directly correlate to the specific starship models presented in the Core Rulebook.

That being said, there's no reason why the mapped ships could not be used to represent some of the ships in the CRB, they just weren't specifically designed as such.

It would be great if they were the Drake and the Pegasus from the recent Starfinder Society blog.

Is this, or another product, going to be the ship that is in the first Starfinder AP?

Sadly there is no product (yet), which represents the ship which the PCs get at the end of AP #1. ;-(

Hmm, that seems like an oversight! Surely one of the appeals of the RPG is "you get to have a starship"! I know that's a big selling point to the 13 year olds I'll be running the AP with. I hope this humble request can percolate to the top and result in something. :)

Or put it this way -- Your PCs are safe from having their starship boarded by hostile forces until around Christmas time. ;)

OR just make one up for your ship.

Or, if you have been around long enough, break out some ship deck plans from Traveller, Space Opera, GURPS, D20 Future, Serenity, Fading Suns...

Updated with final description and product image!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I'd love a ton of these, like just a bunch of starship floor plan flip maps, tons lol.

While ship maps are useful; they're nothing compared to the variety of planetside locations that will feature in my APs (so lots more flip maps like the cantina one please Paizo).

I've signed up to the subscription (first time I've done so), so I'm hoping my faith in this product line will be rewarded.

• Sanjaval Vagabond (The Sunrise Maiden)
• Pathfinder Pegasus Explorer,
• Pathfinder Drake Transport

Of course, Paizo's already beaten me to the punch on one of those?

I want those three maps, as well.

Updated with the wrong cover image, which makes me want a starship with a "garden" like the USS Cygnus in the movie "The Black Hole"! :-)

It's probably to early to tell, but i hope this map is finally one without errors. ;-)

Now the right cover image is back, but the sample art is gone.

What's going on? ;-)

This is in my FLGS. I may buy it tomorrow. Anybody own it yet so they can give quick overview

This was sold out on the first day in my store.

Can somebody who has the physical copy reveal if they got it right this time?

Assuming by "got it right" you meant "the 1 inch squares are actually 1 inch squares (not cut off on the edges of the map or a different size)" then yes, they got it right. Only the interior of the ships is gridded; the empty space outside of the hull does not have a grid.

Should it have? (i.e., extra-vehicular operations?)

Thank you for the heads-up, Skizzers. :-)

It´s good to hear that the squares are now as they should be.

But i think it´s the wrong decision to not grid the exterior space too.
It probably would have to be gridded in another color, but this way only "in-ship" combat is possible and airlock fights and "spacewalks" are hard to do.
It´s a real pity that the Starfinder maps seem to be plagued by printing errors and short-sighted decisions. ;-(

Have a great x-mas!

If people want us to put grids on outer space, we'll put grids on outer space.

Sorry for all those "short-sighted decisions," Marco!

There has never been a Pathfinder Flip-Mat that hasn't been fully "squared" to my knowledge.

So if i get a map that offers only miniature placement on certain areas, but not on others, i feel i have to point that out.

If i did that in an inapropriate way, i'm sorry.

I just feel that none of the Starfinder maps so far were 100% usable as intended, something i can't understand as Paizo has been doing it right for years with the Pathfinder Flip-Mats...

I don’t think it’s an obvious decision. One way or the other.

Although I understand the point of wanting squares outside the ship, the aesthetics of leaving them off is definitely superior, to my eye. Ultimately, I use flipmats for immersion/mood and look is just as important as functionality to me.

Since Starfinder armor easily protects PCs from the vacuum of space. I can see the need for grids in space. I already had a situation where a alien was outside a ship trying to get in.

I am for grids outside the ship but can make do without them.

Black lines on a black background, please!

Do we have the stats block breakdown for the vessels on the map?

Are these the Pegasus or the Drake?

No, these are "generic" starships that GMs can use in their games to represent whatever kind of starship they need. The ships on the Flip-Mat do not correspond to any published ship type or stat block.

Can we get stat blocks for the ship? At least ballpark?

I am also in the team of not needing "generic" starships without stats.
There are more than enough starship floorplans in the APs or in the CRB that need flipmats, i'd rather have those than something generic that i can draw up myself.

I'm not using the FlipMat for Starfinder, but for FFG's Star Wars RPG, so I personally don't care about the lack of stats, but if I were playing Starfinder, I'd like to see a set that "matches up" with the flip mat.

What I'm disappointed by is that there is apparently no drawing of this ship's exterior. I just don't have the design vision to make that leap myself.

i too would like flip mats that match the miniatures and books. it's nice to have these generic ones, but i would like more than just the sunrise maiden one that really depicts a particular type of known craft.
