So what will you change about Starfinder when you start playing?

One mechanic we've been adding to our d20 based games is stolen from 13th Age. We have the players write up a short background and if you can explain how your background applies to a skill check you get to roll it with Advantage (2d20 take the highest).

It encourages my players to think about their backgrounds more and builds investment in their character.

Did anyone else find a lack of NPCs a bit annoying in the core book? Yes there is 1 (The Goblin Monarch) but a few standard NPCs to get a campaign rolling would have been nice. Or am I missing something?
