I haven't seen it called out anywhere, but will starship pawns all be the same size, or will some of the larger ships be well...larger? (large or huge)
I'm like 95% sure it has been confirmed that they are all medium; I'll see if I can dig up where.

While starship pawns aren't all the same physical size, they do all go on a standard Medium base (since even the largest ones fit within one hex).

Ah; that is in fact what I remember reading...thank you for correcting me!

I just came in to say, "Thank you for listing all your pawns!" It's nice to know what's in the box!
Hmm

This looks like a pretty awesome set!
One thing I wanted to check on as we're looking through it--just about all of our pawns (the ones that are on page 10 of the PDF--the Lashunta sheet) are misprinted--the print was crooked and we lost most of the names and big chunks of the images. This happen to anyone else?

Your post encouraged me to double-check my products looking for misprints. Fortunately for me, mine all seem to be printed correctly. In particular, none of my pawns seem misaligned.
It looks like you get to ask for a replacement.
Hello everyone. I am new to all this and I am confused about there being a PDF version of this product available for purchase. Simply put, why is there a PDF version of this? Will I be able to print out the pawns if I wanted too, or can they be used as tokens on Roll20? Thank you for the replies in advance. Really would like to know if I can use them as tokens on Roll20.
Yep.
I'm wondering, do you know how difficult it will be to use the pawn's from the PDF in Roll20.net? Do you know of a tutorial video or some guide that can be helpful?While starship pawns aren't all the same physical size, they do all go on a standard Medium base (since even the largest ones fit within one hex).Ah; that is in fact what I remember reading...thank you for correcting me!
I use Roll20 and will be converting these over myself. There is a tutorial on Roll20 I believe about how to upload tokens and what not. Generally your just going to make individual files out of each one and upload them as jpgs.
while not a tutorial per-say this might help

Curious, will this set cover the SfS adventure: Into the Unknown? I tried matching up a couple of the encounters but I'm not exactly sure on the starships & such.
Example:
Starfinder Society DrakeI'm not seeing this in the listing. I'm wondering if it's listed under a different name.
thanks!
That's a negative. There is no pawn for the Drake, nor for the skreebara. You'll also want to dig up half a dozen skeletons from your Pathfinder Pawns. In fact, none of the pawns are really an exact match for Into the Unknown -- that's probably too much coordination to hope for -- though most of the other stuff has decent enough stand-ins.
Will they be printing more.
Excellent!
I already have mine, they're awesome!
I really like the pawn set.
It's probably my favorite pawn set.
I didn't get the flip mats because my brother got me a Chessex megamat a couple years ago I've been waiting to use the hex side for something ever since.
I would have skipped the initial flip mats as well if I didn't have to buy them to get Charter Superscriber status. My GM already has that same megamat.

Me too. Especially given the paucity of easily available, science-fantasy figures around.

I have pathfinder advantage through my AP sub, and while it would've been nice to a Charter subscriber, there's no way I can afford being a superscriber. :-)

The medium character pawns are 2,8 cm broad and 4,8 cm high.
That´s a little to broad for a normal square...
That's not a new thing—having the pawns a bit wider than the bases means we can make the art about 10% bigger than if we squeezed it into an inch-wide space. Yet, because they're essentially two-dimensional, that doesn't prevent you from putting them in adjacent squares.

The Flip-Mat scaling issue is an actual error. We'll be talking about it in an upcoming Paizo blog, so I'm not going to say more about it yet. We've also heard your feedback on the darkness of the grid lines, and we'll be lightening those with future releases.
As for the ship pawns, they are as intended. I would rather have more visually impactful pawns than restrict the art to an inch just so you can use them against the wall of a 3D hangar (because using them in a 2D hangar isn't a problem).
As for your binding issues, I can guarantee you that the entire print run is not defective. I would say that reports of binding issues are slightly on the high side of normal, and we have already sent samples to our printer for their examination... but I also know that some people are reporting binding issues because they don't realize that the fabric strip is not supposed to be glued to the spine with the style of binding we use. (Even though this has been the case with every hardcover we have printed since the second printing of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Starfinder has brought in a number of people who have never purchased our hardcovers before, or who haven't purchased one since the first printing of Pathfinder, where the fabric strip *was* glued to the spine.)
If you do have a binding issue, though, there's no reason you should be stuck with it. If you bought it from us, contact us about replacing it. If you bought it from a retailer, start at your retailer, because our industry has an established process for dealing with these things. If you don't get satisfaction from your retailer, let us know.
Thanks, Vic.

Quick question about the PDF version of the Starfinder Core Pawns. Is there any way to get rid of the red outlines on the pawns?
When I'm using Nitro Reader 5 (on Windows 10), I can copy an image and paste it to a paint program, and the red outline is not copied with the rest of the image. So I imagine it's possible.

I know that they technically arn't part of the core rulebook, but I really wish that the Drake and Pegasus starships had pawns in this set.
They will likely be the most flown ships for a while.
