I assume if it was cancelled/postponed they'd have said something.
Is the stream still set for tomorrow? Haven't heard much. Also please answer this question on stream because that would make sense.

Ah thank you! I had been looking at the Starfinder Blog. Derp!
Mobile infantry?
Space Marines?
Giant stompy robots?
Will the Operative get sneak attack or a variation of sneak attack? Or are you trying to distance the Starfinder classes from any direct Pathfinder analogues?
Which class/race will you reveal more information about next?
Much in the same way that goblins have become the caricature mascots of pathfinder, are you going to have something like that for Starfinder? And if so, what are the odds that they'll be gremlins?
How much will I need to know about sci-fi as a genre in order to run this campaign setting as a GM? Is it a good idea to dust off my old Physics of Star Trek book? (Give me an excuse Paizo!)
Can you give us a general idea of how the Core Rulebook will be organized? (eg: 20% starship rules, 15% setting material...)
How much focus are you giving to the cultures and flavor of the new core races? Will we be given details on government, galactic influence, cultural achievements, pyschology, reputation, roleplaying tips? I'm particularly interested in learning about androids and their stake in galactic civilization.
How relevant will the various dwarf planets and moons and their inhabitants detailed in Distant Worlds be to the setting at large?
Will the Elder Mythos and other Lovecraft-material have a significant presence?
Will the Gods of Chaos answer my calls?!?

1. Will there be computers and a hacking system similar to Shadowrun's?
2. How will technology compete with the power and versatility of magic?
3. My first starfinder character is going to be a Medium who channels the spirits of various Star Trek characters. What will I have to change about his character sheet?

Thanks or a great Q&A, everyone! We'll have the recording up on youtube soon for those of you who weren't able to make it.
Were towels mentioned.
Were towels mentioned.
No.
I was able to watch the live stream, and learned a lot. There where many questions from this thread that were answered, a many that were not.
(Maybe make a list and save it for the next Q&A?)
The questions I was most interested where the Shadowrun like (cybernetics, hacking, matrix/internet..) and with regards to miniatures/pawns.
Looking forward to more info! :)

For what it's worth, /u/oli_chose123's Kelsey-Bernard Drive has a nice feel to it, and it neatly explains why big bright stars with ancient names have become trade centers and travel hubs.
The essence of his sci-fi concept is starships go faster when they're traveling from a smaller stellar mass (ex, a yellow dwarf F or G or K class) to a bigger one (a giant O, B, or A), or between two masses of similar size.
You can jump far from a big star but not from a small one, because the drive locks on to the mutual gravity bond between the two stars and the two masses add up and take the average in terms of how hard the jump is. But the jumps are harder when going from big stars to small stars (like red dwarfs, M class). So much so that some jumps are only one-way; you can jump from a red giant to a white dwarf but not back the way you came. From this stems the idea of a 'Kelsey Trap', which is a small star near enough to a big one to make the jump, but there are no other stars for the small star to 'connect' to. It's essentially a dead end street for anyone without the engine good enough to make the return trip.

Can you put augmentations in creature companions and other animals and non humanoids? Got a psychopathic necromancer kidnapping everything that breathes and installing necrographs in them to control them.Hey everyone! Next Wednesday a bunch of the Starfinder team members will be streaming a live playtest, followed by a Q&A about the Starfinder RPG (for more details on the exact time/link, stay tuned to the blog). But before then, we'd love to collect your questions! We'll pick some of our favorites from this thread and answer them live, as well as potentially grabbing some from the chat during the interview. (For added fun, I'll mention who asked what when reading the questions live, so bring your A game!)
So what do you want to know?
Did you just submit a question for a Q&A that happened in 2017?

Try the rules forum next time.
Well, whether this is a Rules Question or an Advice Question is actually important. "Do the written rules let me load up my creature companion with augments?" and "I'm the setting, does a plot that hinges on necrografts being pit into creatures?" are very different questions that will get you some different answers.
