The ratio of people who bounce off of PF2 because of its rules is incredibly lower than the ratio who bounced off of SF1 because of its rules. All your subjective complaints about PF2 pale in the face of this inexorable truth.
Got stats to back that up?
Our local group quite likes and regularly plays Starfinder.
Pathfinder 2 still causes us more frustration than fun.
We are working on pushing through playing PF2 scenarios, but presently we've had no-one bounce off SF and a few people bounce off PF2.
The possibilities of polishing some spiky bits on SF 1 rules still leave me optimistic about SF 2.
The basics of either system seem equally easy/difficult for a brand new RPG player to learn. Both have quirks to make the "game" (or the "math") work. Many other posters in the thread have already flagged aspects of PF 2e that don't seem like an upgrade (to them) to base SF.
I am looking at building an Operative with the Ghost specialization. Under the "associated skills" section of the Ghost Specialization, the CRB says:
Associated Skills: Acrobatics and Stealth. When you use Stealth to make a trick attack, you gain a +1 bonus to the skill check.
I'm also looking at taking the "Stunt and Strike" alternate class feature from the Character Operations Manual. This feature says it replaces Trick Attack, but it doesn't explicitly say that it counts as Trick Attack.
Would my Ghost Operative specialization provide me with a +1 bonus to Stealth checks made to Stunt and Strike?
While I continue to be mildly disappointed by Paizo's unwillingness to provide PDFs to those who prefer to support their friendly local gaming stores, these humble bundles provide a great opportunity to support charities while acquiring virtual maps (and searchable books) to complement my physical collection. So, a net win-win. :)
(And for those who eschew dead-tree versions: these bundles are a must purchase, in my opinion!)
Start of turn: Bury Knock* and Marianix Karn* from discard to prevent a blessing discard.

Unless I missed something, Seelah picked up a Curse of Fevered Dreams on her turn? If so, the easiest way to deal with it is probably for Radillo to have removed it immediately post-hour change, instead of removing my own blindness?

Back of the que, buster.Khai-Utef to refill hand, drawing Autumn Witch (AD 6), Ring of Protection, Ice and Fire, and explore.
Curse of the Sphinx examine... Ushering of Oblivion
In short: Hour of the Curse of the Sphinx. Display.
Punched the Skull Ripper, after recharging Khai-Utef to drop the DC to 7. Use reroll on the Skull Ripper. Flenta's aid was invaluable.
Bonecrusher Chieften is off the Curse of Sphinx examination. Use Volcanic Storm, and flank with Flenta.
Poison Spiked Pit trap used Seelah's Blessing of Iomadae (which recharged). Wouldn't have made it without the extra boost from Seelah!
Will of Ahrimain used my Blessing of Achaekek
Blessing of Maat used my Blessing of Abraxas
Hungry Fog ate my Life Leech. :(
I use Game of Afterlife to get rid of Flenta's Curse of Vulnerability.
End of turn summary:
Cards 1-8 dealt with
Spell 4 (Channel the Gift) Acquired
Blessing 1 (Maat) Acquired.
**Seelah's Blessing of Iomadae recharges**

Radillo would appreciate a heal if there is one going, as I now have 4 blessings in my discard pile... and my life leech, which I carefully finagled to the top of my deck, got buried by Hungry Fog. :(

When you play a spell that has the Arcane trait during an encounter, you may examine the bottom card of your deck; if it is a spell ([x] or an ally), you may put it on top of your deck ([x] or add it to your hand)
When you attempt to acquire an ally, you may use your Arcane skill in place of any listed skill.
You automatically succeed at your check to recharge ([ ] or acquire) a boon that has the Mental trait.
[ ] When another character at your location ([ ] or at any location) fails to acquire a boon, you may banish a card to put the boon in your discard pile.
[x] When you discard an ally to explore your location, you may recharge a random ally from your discard pile ([ ] or shuffle it into your deck).
[ ] If you play a spell to evade a bane, you may put the bane on top of its deck.
[x] When any character at your location attempts a check to defeat a monster, you may recharge an ally to reduce the difficulty of that check by 1 ([x] 2) plus the adventure deck number of the recharged ally, if any.
I do realize I failed to do the scenario power to discard x2 cards from my deck as a result of the 2 structural damage, though. :( Those would have been Blessing of the Elements 3 and Meteor Swarm, with me redrawing Pteranodon* and Old Salt* instead.
I can take it!Vengeful Storm + Ambrosia + Flenta + Old Salt* + character power recharge on Elixir of Healing
I then wouldn't have MM's Blessing of Elements, but I still have both Eagle Aeire* and a recharge of Pteranodon* for my +2d4 character power
1d8 + 2d4 - 3 ⇒ (4) + (1, 4) - 3 = 6 = net difference to Flenta's first check
Flenta passes on the first swing. :)
Well, team. I can finally say with certainty that I see no Divs.
If it would be preferable for me to have kept the original hand, i.e. for the blessing on Flenta's check, I play Meteor Swarm instead of Vengeful Storm + Old Salt*
Per chat discussion, my understanding is that evading the Giant Sea Anemone meant that I didn't encounter it, and thus didn't need a Hirgy roll?
Throwing down a 1d12 ⇒ 10 roll, though, in case I was wrong on that.
Zova! If you are in the mood to work out some of your fury, can I trouble you for some aid while I flank with Flenta?Dragon's Breath + BoGreenFaith + Flenta

Mother Myrtle finishes de-necromanting the Draugar monstrosity just in time to see Zova tackle Akinaru. Taking advantage of the distraction, she slips around behind their foe and prepares to call down the parties' final vengeance...
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2, bury discard pile.
The div, alert for signs of trouble, manages to claw Mother Myrtle as she moves into position. Before he can press the assault, however, a Shadowcat bounds forth at Zova's call (or is it Zova herself? Always hard to tell with shifters) to distract Akinaru once again with a ball of teeth and claws, while Flenta calls forth the fury of the seas...[/b]
Focused on the frenzied ring of combatants, Akinaru is able to parry the blows and slashes of the heroic trio with ease, if not style. As the Div prattles on about the inevitability of its victory, Mother Myrtle calls out:
Hey, Akinaru! You may be hot stuff, but we've figured out your crucial weakness!
Mother Myrtle's serene expression (and sudden cessation of chanting) catches the Div's attention, who follows her pointed finger upward to the heavens...
TEAMWORK!
KABOOOOOM!
Later, floating amongst the splinters of the ruined ship, it wasn't clear to Mother Myrtle whether or not the Div was annihilated by the flaming aura of the meteor before its adamantine core made impact with the deck of the ship. In the result, it didn't really matter.
After the ringing in her ears subsides, Mother Myrtle looks around, and smiles at her comrades.
Hey, Flenta! We've almost found that scurrilous villain... come here and help us search!

@Radillo, Correct since it gets displayed you wouldn't get to activate radillos "when you discard an ally" power feat until the end of your turn when Khai-Utef is discarded. So essentially - Display Kahi-Utef, do the things, carry out rest of your turn, then at end of turn Khai-Utef is discarded and Radillo's power feat is activated.
Thanks for the confirmation, I wasn't certain that it fired at EOT, so I had been playing that it didn't. (I feel like this was asked/answered previously, but my google and google chat search fu failed me!)
If neither Flenta nor Seelah want Khai-Utef, I might still take them. -7 DC and +2 dice vs. a henchman / villain is too good to pass up, as compared to -7 DC and 1d6+1.
Radillo will snag the Ally 6 (replacing Rift Warden), and will take a blessing B for her second upgrade (TBD on Abraxas or Spellbound).
I'll be mixing up my Loot for this next scenario:
Magnetic Grimoire >> Game of the Afterlife
Channel the Gift >> Gravewatcher Chainmail / Skyplate Armour from Trader
Scrying >> Ditto
Pearl of Magic >> Mask of the Forgotten Pharaoh (assuming Seelah is okay with throwing down a heal or two at some point during the adventure? :) )
I'm also not sure if I should take Khai-Utef this time.
https://pacg.fandom.com/wiki/Khai-Utef
It's a great Ally which can combo ridiculously with Radillo's power in combat (Recharge for -7 DC, play spell and recover, recharge for +1 / +2 dice). The recharge-hand-and-explore power is quite strong too.
Since its nerf errata, however, I don't think it combos with Radillo's power to recharge another ally from the discard after it is played?
If I read that correctly, then it might be better for me to keep the Pyromaniac Mage, and for one of you to take Khai-Utef instead?
Radillo would like that Ally 6 (for Autumn Witch, looking to upgrade from Rift Warden), but might also be interested in a Blessing (All Seeing Eye > Gozreh).
If either Seelah or Flenta would like an Ally 6, Radillo will add an ally.
Otherwise, Radillo is happy to go fishing for whatever card type Seelah/Flenta want.
If no-one wants the Ally and no-one wants a shot at whatever card Radillo adds, then Radillo will add Blessing to see if a Blessing 6 is added (since those are usually the hardest to find).
