I personally would like to wish against the following:
Please no Star trek style transporters--or anything that dematerializes or rematerializes living things from scratch, nonmagically
Please no breathable fantasy space gas--please no phlogiston or outer-space fresh air that allows creatures to walk outside on deck without spacesuits.
Please no subjective directional gravity in either deep space or The Drift.
Please no super-colossal space amoebas, planet-sized robots, or really anything defined as a creature that is large enough for escape velocity (ex) to be relevan, aside from some weird magical ability to create an artificial gravity well or something. Starbases, death stars, mobile cities with onboard hyperdrives, that's different, just no oversized creatures.

No alien hive mind hordes looking to assimilate everyone, it's been done to death.

Zerg, Tyranids, Borg, Slivers, Xenomorphs, Hive Queen (enders game didn't want to assmilate however.), Cybermen, Daleks (but they really just want you exterminated), The Flood, The Fold, Pod people, Brain Slugs, Blue gill, Yeerks, The thing from slither and the things form the faculty which both kind of fall under brain slugs as well.
Wow I bet there is more too. That was just ones I could think of. You may be on to something there but i feel like its almost an essential Space thing at this point.
Can we just use one of those? I think there is already brain slugs in pathfinder.

So basically you want sci-fi theme but gutted of all classic sci-fi tropes.

That's what I'm getting.
Any civilization are going to have military installations regardless of it is being PlanetSide or dare I say it, a star base. That's just a rule of thumb, having a star base will allow a power to deploy their forces faster. How a star base is used would depend on the power in control and the story. Going with classic star wars, tyrannical power with a rebel black ops operation gathering Intel. Democratic power, probably neutral doubling as a trading post. Corporate, could swing either way. Autocratic, strictly military and it's there for rapid troop deployment.

I am mostly hoping that the "almost always evil" alignment thing for mortal races gets mostly ignored.

We must have giant space monsters!
I:m hoping not to see as much Cthulhu stuff, as like half of outer space stuff right now in pathfinder basically comes down to something from the Cthulhu type stuff, and I find that really annoying.

Fixed that for you. How else will the ships be powered?
We can do without the giff, though. They're silly.

A Blake's Seven ending.
I don't want to see any of the straw "cultures-who-are-way-better-than-you-in-every-way-and-you-pale-in-comparis on-to-me"
In a word, I don't want to see Chakrats. (WARNING, ADDS ARE SOMETIMES NSFW)
But then, seeing on how (probably) none of the Paizo staff are Chaotic Evil, we will probably not have to fear anything among those lines.

Dwarves will still be part of the setting, so their culture - which is way better then you in every way and you pale in comparison to them - will be part of the setting. ;)

Can;t stop, won't stop! ;)
I don't want any sci fi tropes that people think are fun or cool. No Firefly, no Star Trek, no Star Wars, no Farscape, no Doctor Who.
If's it's been suggested, I don't want it in Starfinder. No light sabers, no lasers, no spaceships, no aliens, no wormholes. I want everyone's hopes and dreams crushed because I don't like fun. Bah humbag.
Does that cover everything? :p

Well, technically, no; because you wrote, "humbag", which makes your argument null and void and henceforth unavailable for further conversation. Had you invoked the correct terminology of "humbug", your argument would have been held valid this holiday season.

Paizo's current slash and burn FAQratta and poor rule changes would be nice to see go away, as would waiting to put (good)errata out until you're printing the book again. It's a game set in the future, so get with the times. :p
Elminster. >:-(
Him, Dungeon Master, Gandalf, and Discord have a poker game in Starfinder night.
Iterative attacks.
I don't want anything more than vague and approximate compatibility with Pathfinder. (Though I do want it to feel like the same universe).
Backwards compatibility is so 2009.

Chakats aren't from a science fiction serial.
And they have way more problems than simply being a Mary Sue race.

Say hypothetically that someone had no damn clue what a chakat was, but couldn't risk clicking on the link because while nice old boring text is perfectly fine, any 'images' showing up would basically get caught on camera and result in job loss.
Hypothetically of course.
If such were the case, what might one soon retroactively never-wanted-to-know about the absolute worst parts of this 'chakat' stuff, that one could be told on here using the worksafe thing that is pure text?
Probably the incest orgies.

No more always/mostly evil for any 0HD races.
Not too reliant on equipment like pathfinder/D&D3.0/3.5.
Less Star Wars more everything else.
I don't want to see Castrovel and Akiton loose their pulp style because of the change in timelines/setting.
A lack of backwards compatibility would be a major turn off.

You could say that what's 'reasonable' and 'realistic' should be within the bounds of its own setting and not our lives.
If the world is full of wyverns, sharks that swim through rocks, titanic humanoids that don't collapse under their own weight, and of f***ing deities and dragons, then "normal human" is something that evolved under THOSE laws of physics as they are, not under ours.
Certainly, one half the classes should not be restricted to real-world limitations just because "they're using per-day spell slots" (especially when those haven't run out the way they pretend they do since 3.0), nor should the other half be allowed to stick their **** in the very fabric of reality while pretending they're playing the same game.
A wizard cannot cast somantic spells, when you disable his hand!
MEDIC!
No split between classes bound by what's reasonably possible and other classes that get all the 'over-the-top' stuff they could want. Pick one or the other and stick to it for all the classes. If you don't want warriors who stack up alongside Space Marines, then don't have people who make Yoda or Conway Costigan look anaemic among your 'casters'.Imperial guard
Colonial Marines
Star Fleet red shirts
Storm troopers
That should take care of the major chode warriors.
