Seems to work. Bunch of crazy, thin blue/red lines appear when dragging tokens. Are those lines supposed to mean something? Any way to make map full screen and still be able to drag tokens?

During play, is our interaction voice, text or a mix of both?

Tank cleric works great for me.
I tend to single or double move in and raise shield on the first turn, but then usually people aren't hurt on the first turn. After that I welcome being attacked to divert damage from melee guys (works better than Shield Other), besides with shield raised my AC is better than most of the melee guys. Shield Block gives me significant damage reduction. I'm right there for Battle Medicine, potions and 2-action Heals (never a 3-action heal unless fighting undead or multiple unconscious allies). Flank buddy for the rogue, and if I have a free action I might make a feeble attack for the fun of it. Free action "Is that all you got? Hit me bro!"
Generally a fun cleric to play. Easy to throw in a buff spell now and then.

Back to jump jets, I feel that 1000cr for something that lets you fly 30' instead of your usual move action is a fair deal, even if 30' is slower than your usual movement rate. Zoom over crevices, difficult terrain or walls. Drop in behind enemy front lines. Avoid the bother of climbing 20' up or down from a balcony. All handy stuff for what quickly becomes a modest cost.

Quick mockup here.

The weapons are tricky, as they demand lots of space.

Thanks Shwar. I ended up making one without graphics, yours is prettier.

As long as you're reading this, loved your character sheet. Used a recent version. Found the speed field at the head of page 1 was a little scrambled (locked in 30 FT and then a duplicate field you can fill in to the right. Not sure how the "Upgraded Score" and "Upgraded Modifier" are supposed to work. Skills per level needs to handle double digits, doesn't take much for an Operative to get up to 11 ranks per level (Intelligence 12 will do it). If it were up to me, spells would be on a page 3 (which I wouldn't print), since most characters aren't casters. That gives you more room for abilities, feats and equipment. Oh yeah, and the Equipment list Level and Bulk fields seem a bit misaligned on Acrobat Reader on a MacBook (numbers a bit too high and the top is cut off, possibly just a screen problem since I haven't printed yet).

All of that is little stuff though, hasn't stopped me from using the sheets.

Nope, just multiple options with different strengths and limitations.

Only one foe to worry about? Uncanny Mobility works great. Move in for a melee Trick Attack or move out for a ranged Trick Attack without provoking your target. Multiple foes? Improved Uncanny Mobility is your baby (but costs a second Exploit and is 10th level).

Want to move past multiple foes? Let them swing! Mobility boosts your AC vs movement AoO. Burning out their Reactions often helps the rest of the party. Or have Mobility just in case your Tumble fails while moving in or out.

Want to just stand and shoot? Slippery Shooter boosts your AC vs ranged attack triggered AoO. Hope they don't hit, but maybe burning out Reactions is good too. Supports Trick Attacks or Full Attacks (sometimes Full Attacks are better than a single Trick Attack).

Move and shoot? Mobility and Shot on the Run, Tumble away, shoot, and continuing to total cover; or pop out of total cover, shoot and duck back into cover.

Move and melee? Mobility and Spring Attack, move in without provoking (one foe), melee, then move out without provoking to deny the enemy a melee Full Attack. Maybe you're even fast enough to move out of range. Also great to get at reach opponents.

Like using Small Arms for your Trick Attack? Uncanny Shooter lets you shoot Small Arms without provoking even if you're surrounded by a horde of Space Goblins. Probably better for Operatives than Slippery Shooter and available at 6th level. Supports Trick Attacks or Full Attacks.

Haven't yet figured out if there is an obvious best choice. I'm leaning toward Mobility (plus excellent Acrobatics) as an early feat and Uncanny Shooter at sixth level.

Kind of depends on what tactics you want to use. But you'll probably adopt one or two Feats or Exploits and then adapt to them.

Play minesweeper or tetris.

I noticed that there were spells and class abilities to cure hit point damage as a standard action and was told if they say hit points they mean hit points (not stamina). Didn't see anything for quickly curing stamina damage, just the 10 minute resolve use.

Are there quick ways of curing stamina? If not, a quick series of encounters can leave you operating without the stamina buffer, which puts you a lot closer to dead dead. I found myself waiting for more hit point damage after running through all of my stamina so that I wouldn't be wasting a spell.

By the way, no negative Constitution buffer before dead-dead, just a few negative hit points.
