I'm still picking through the Starfinder Core Rulebook. I must say I'm pretty impressed by it so far. I'm curious, however, about something that was pretty necessary in Pathfinder, but I haven't found anything speaking to it in Starfinder.
In Pathfinder, firing a ranged weapon into melee combat gives you a chance to hit an ally fighting in melee combat. This, of course is negated by the Precise shot feat.
Is there a chance to do this in Starfinder, or have they just done away with the possibility of shooting your allies altogether?

From what I can find in the rulebook there is no more -4 penalty on firing into melee. Not really surprised by this, as there is quite a focus on having ranged weapons :)
There is however still the +4 AC to the target if he's getting Soft Cover from your allies (or enemies).
Also, the chance for shooting your allies when you shoot into melee in Pathfinder is not a standard rule, but most likely a houserule.
