I'm with Torbyne on this one. XD Spheres of Power is a possibility, but until I know how the game actually WORKS, I don't know what can be converted in the first place.
With the most recent interview it looks like there will be vancian-type spells which for me is kind of tragic because I've basically done away with all that with spheres of power and other third party supplements and my game is better for it. If vancian casting stays I hope that either it's toned down, its easy to convert SoP to Starfinder, or a new SoP Starfinder supplement comes out as soon as possible because the less I have to deal with wizard shenanigans in Starfinder the better.

Which is the most recent interview, the Know Direction one?

I'm pretty sure that if there's sufficient demand for a Spheres of Power supplement/update for Starfinder, then DDS will find a way to make it happen. I'd love to see an Ultimate Psionics supplemt/update for Starfinder from Dreamscarred.

Yeah, not sure how much conversion will or won't be needed...
Probably my top choices if conversion would be needed would be Akashic Mysteries, Grimoire of Lost Souls, and Spheres of Power. Ethermagic from Strange Magic also seems quite appropriate for the setting, though.
And yeah, I'm surprised anyone would think Gygaxian magic won't be present in Starfinder core...
Edit: Also, Paranormal Adventures' Shapeshifter is a must.

I am going to be REALLY curious to see what various 3pp decide to do!
It starts here with this image for LPJ Design the add cybernetics and nanites. Nightmare Fuel my friends.

Sorry for being unclear. I was more thinking of setting conversions when I made the post.
Neoexodus is probably a big one since its all Scifantasy to some extent. I recently purchased the unfinished Santiago AP so I may convert it just to play out the AP. Eventually I'll get my hands on the rest of Legendary Game's Sword and Planet stuff.
Seems like a weird choice but Skybourne would probably be a planet with a lot of tech. I imagine something along the lines of the Dragonflyz cartoon. Similarly Thunderscape and He-Man.
I'm not terribly familiar with earlier D&D settings so I don't expect to convert anything from pre-Pathfinder era stuff.

...I feel like the Legendary Planet setting would mix in well. XD
It will indeed. Whether it as a product line will end up being made both PF Compatible and Starfinder-compatible is as yet undetermined, both on the technical rules side and also on the licensing/legal side.
But one way or another, there will most DEFINITELY be Legendary Planet (and the forthcoming Legendary Worlds campaign setting) for Starfinder.

I like to add magic to the real world, usually around the Renaissance period. I blame Lionheart for that.

Yes to both of these. I could see either Spheres of Power or Dreamscarred Press Psionic material being needed for what I would like to do. (Lensman Chronicles by E.E. "Doc" Smith)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Guide to the Galaxy
...based on a recent conversation with a party that will go unnamed.
Oooh, this is cool. I like it. :)
My own idea is to adapt some of the ideas of Relic Knights into my own Starfinder sector of space, with a dash of Guardians of the Galaxy. Now using TMNT as a source of inspiration sounds like it also perfectly matches.
And stealing ideas from Fragged Empire.

Of course for MOST Lensmen all the Lens needs to do is be unreproducible (unless you are already far enough along to worry about Black Lensmen, who were never particularly successful), and grant universal telepathy.
That'll give you zwilnik-hunting, Boskone-fighting, Galacticly Patrolling Lensmen.
Well, and rules for negasphere, the Z9M9Z, sunbeams...
It's only if playing with Second-Stage Lensmen, and/or Eddorians and Arisians you need more advanced mental power rules.

For the record, I have no idea what Owen just said. But it's amazing.

LINK to Wikipedia article about the Lensman Chronicles.
They were written by E.E. "Doc" Smith in 1948 and early 1950's.
zwilnik : Drug dealers of the worst kind
Boskone : The bad guys higher up Galactic Organization
Lensman : The good guys. They come from all the Galactic races and go to Arisia for training and to get their Lens, which is a psionic(?) device that helps concentrate thinking, etc.
negasphere : Anti matter
Z9M9Z : The Command and Control vessel of the Galactic Patrol (good guys organization)
sunbeams : Harnessing the power of the sun as a weapon
Second stage Lensman : The four (well five really) Lensman from the four "primary" Galactic races that went back for additional Lens training.
Eddorians : The ultimate bad guys
Arisians : The ultimate good guys
You can get all six books at Project Gutenberg in ePub format, and I use Calibre 64 for WIndows 7 as a free eBook reader.

As I have just started rereading the series (in Triplanetary now) - this was perfectly timed. :)
