Question about how often feats are acquired

[Freedom Snake]

Spoiler:

CRB character advancement, table 2-4, page 26 indicates a feat at every odd level beginning at 1.

Soldier advancement, table 4-9, page 111 indicates a combat feat at every even level beginning at 2.

RAW, this means a soldier will get a feat at every level, netting 10 feats and 10 combat feats, in addition to fighting styles, techniques and themes. Am I missing something? That seems like an incredible amount of power early on.

Pretty much the same as a Pathfinder fighter isn't it?

I've not got my PDF yet, but what is described is exactly like the fighter in PF.

Bonus feats are nice, but not massively overwhelming.

I guess I never realized how many feats fighters took. Thank you for the comparison.

You wouldn't know fighter feats because you are a snake murdering ranger

for what its worth, in Pathfinder the fighter is considered under powered by many for relying on feats as a main class feature. it can seem nice for the first few levels but drags behind pretty noticeably at mid to high levels. havent seen my copy of Starfinder yet so i cant say how that balance looks now.
