creating sci-fi themed maps

Im running my first game of starfinder in 2 weeks from now. my usual setup is a projector on the table connected to my laptop, from where i project the maps i make, move tokens as the pc's want, and handle combat. now there is a plethora of map-creating tools out there but as far as i found they are all medieval-fantasy based. does anyone know of a sci-fi map database/sci-fi map creator of any kind? the game approaches and i have to start building my maps lol. thanks for the help!

I know this is an old thread, but if you're still looking for a mapping program that does sci-fi, have a look at MapForge and the 10 sci-fi content Add-Ons currently available for it. Here's a link to 9 of them.

At least 4 more sci-fi Add-Ons should be available by the end of the year, if all goes well.


This might interest you as well.


If you happen to own any of the Shadowrun computer games, it's a pretty easy matter to access the isometric graphics from the game and use them to make your own maps or handouts (say, for use in a Starfinder tabletop RPG campaign).

This video shows how to access the assets. And if you need map-making software capable of quickly and easily creating isometric maps, look here.
