Hello there. I've looked intensely over most everything that has been released so far for Starfinder, and something I've found no trace of whatsoever is a ruleset for putting Starfinder stuff in Pathfinder.
Are there plans for this? Will I be able to use the old full attack and AoO rules alongside the new crazy equipment coming along? Can I get rules for brandishing an electrified laser chainsaw as a more typical fantasy setting? Will I be able to play a soldier, operative, or technomancer in the old world of pathfinder (maybe I want my technic league to be ludicrously competent in an Iron Gods game, or something like that)?
I would love to see stuff like this implemented, and I am curious as to whether any plans presently exist for such concepts.
I'd say it's just the normal rules mentioned here but in reverse. As for gear I'd design it like the gear in the Technology Guide for balance. So your chainsaw would just be a touch, fire dealing version of the tech guide one with the shock enchantment. Or just the tech guide one with both the flaming and shock enchantments.

You could just use the setting and flavor from Pathfinder, but use all Starfinder rules to keep everything balanced. After all, the monsters are supposed to be easy to convert. Also, class abilities and spells in Starfinder are purposely undefined in regards to whether they they are arcane, divine, psychic, technological, or whatever; so you can just declare which ability/spell has whatever flavor you want it to have and move on from there.

I agree with the other two commenters here... Best way to do this would either be to use the technology guide as a basis, or to use Starfinder rules and convert everything from Pathfinder that you want to use to those rules.
On a related point, when I went to PaizoCon and saw some of the Starfinder rules first hand, the first thing that came to mind is "a year from now they will be releasing a book that will let you use all of these awesome new rules with Pathfinder material." I definitely expect there to be a "Pathfinder Conversion Guide" in the future.
