Good, so it does not look like the wooden tavern pictured above? I am excited that we'll have a Cantina map!
Hmm
Description seems to say one side is more Sci-fi and the other is a gritty colony tavern. Both could work pretty well but I think they probably should make the Sci-fi side the one shown in the image. Perhaps that map isn't finished yet?

was this just added yesterday? because now I know I have to get into this game, or at least use the maps to augment pathfinder.
Also, I would prefer not to get into the debate about who shot first, because depending on which cut of the trilogy you adhere to, the frames of footage have differing opinions, It is a deep and potentially reality-warping ambiguous hint at something far greater, and if we ever find out who really did shoot first, the earth would vanish in a puff of smoke like you would see shortly after a Vogon constructor fleet destroys a planet for an intergalactic hyperspace expressway.... wait, talking about star wars, getting into Hitchhiker's Guide. I should really watch myself, I may betray my secret nerdy wish to have players visit Mos Eisley and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe...

In your reality, is it spelled Berenstain or Berenstein?

This map is a great idea. I hope they update the description to show sample pics of both sides.

I mean no disrespect but I'll be passing this up in wait for the dead Suns map pack, which will have an awesome cantina.
Do you know more than the rest of us? Paizo do not usually provide map packs of that kind for adventure paths.
I think it's easily possible to simply substitute this map for the Fusion Queen.

I took him to mean the adventure path Map Folio. Of course, they aren't usually released until the last issue of the adventure path is, so we aren't likely to see the AP map folio until May 2018.

Well, we don't even know yet if there'll be map folio for Starfinder adventure path, and if so, they most certainly will not have maps in miniature scale like a flip-mat.

Hey Zaister. You are more correct than you know. Currently we have NOT announced a Map Folio product to support the Starfinder APs. I can't say for sure that we will not make one but right now there isn't one on our working schedule for 2018.
And even if we did, we don't tend to order maps for our Adventures in high enough resolution to be suitable for miniatures combat so its likely that they wouldn't be included even if we made the product.

I'd forgotten about the map resolutions in the map folios. It's been a while since I picked one up.
Given the fact that map folios have been produced for every Pathfinder AP, it was a reasonable assumption that we'd see a Starfinder map folio. Also, the current product pages don't even show the expected release date for part 6 of Dead Suns. I figured if a map folio was going to be produced, it might just show up later.
I'm not particularly disappointed that there won't be a map folio, though. The Starfinder products are already pretty cool, and I'm sure there'll be something awesome to take its place.

On the hex map some of the hexes are not aligned perfectly with the rest of the grid.
You probably mean the squares, as there should be no hexes on this map. ;-)
Is this the case on the pdf or on the actual print product flip-mat?
And how many squares are we talking about?
Thank you all for the replies. :-)

It's a lot better than the Basic Terrain map (disaster) but if you have 2 of these maps (both sides showing) and align them short-end to short-end, they won't match. The quality control of these flipmats as compared to the normal Pathfinder ones are lackluster and I'm being nice about that.

I don't have a great ruler, but it seems to me that the squares on this map are close to an inch but slightly bigger than the equivalent squares on a Pathfinder flipmat.
I wonder if there's been some metric/imperial translation error in the Starfinder line?
It's certainly a usable map (and there aren't a lot of places on the border where you'd want to add another map anyhow - in the Pathfinder line, this could well have been one of those self-contained maps where they don't put a grid right to the border).
Nonetheless, going forward it would clearly be advantageous for the Pathfinder maps to line up smoothly with the Starfinder ones. I also personally find the darker grid markings to detract more than they add. That's obviously going to be an aesthetic/usability issue that's going to vary pretty substantially between users.
