So we have a pretty hardcore PFS crew in our area (between two locations we meet 3 times a week), so we were pretty stoked to play SFS. Well we got our chance to play yesterday and I thought I'd lay out what happened. I'll have to break it into multiple parts. (Thanks to our GM for taking the hit and running it!)
Part 1, Players
Cero of Maro (aka Duke). (Me) Yskoi bounty hunter Operative. Surprisingly grizzled and sensable Yskoi with a troubled past. He's a gunslinger who uses weapon twirling to pull off trick shots (via slight of hand).
Player 2
A-Z, Android Outlaw Mechanic. A recently reset (refreshed?) Android. Still has yet to figure out social situations. Secretly part of some shadow-government conspiracy (or he's crazy). Longarm focused sharpshooter type.
Player 3
Kigvan. Vesk Mercenary Soldier. Was a typical vesk soldier. All that changed when he visited the burning Archapelego. Experienced a religious moment there and converted to worshiping Sranrae's light. Melee focused with a powered pike.
Player 4
Didn't catch his name. Shihiran (sp?) Spacefarer Mystic (healer). Very jaded with individual choice and secretly wants to rejoin the swarm. Very mystic based and prefers to use spells (like telekinetic projectile and daze) instead of weapons.

Game started out normally. GM had us do the race first because he wanted to get it out of the way. We find out that we have to help a mouthy pathfinder win a junkbike race against a Yskoi she made fun of. Most of us don't want to, but we agree. We show up and help with the race, and my bounty-hunter (with +11 to stealth) refuses to cheat. Luckily he has +8 to engineering, same as the mechanic. Between us and the Mystic (who has super good perception) we upgrade the snot out of our bike. The Vesk runs around and intimidates the other racers.
Race starts out with a crit against us and a crit against the rival Yskoi. I manage to drive perfectly despite the -8 penalty. I proceed to make all my piloting checks and we smoke the competition. We lost the lead against one person once with her SuperDrive bike, but we engaged our supercharger and went 1200 feet (over 1/3 the course) in one round.
In the end our bike went 60/600, had both an energy and kinetic weapon (energy weapon was upgraded), had kinetic and energy armor, and gave a massive +5 to pilloting checks.
Lastly, as a final nail in the coffin,our Yskoi rival was so disheartened that he gave up when we won and he hadn't made it even it 1/3 of the way around the track.

For the second part of the game, we were told to meet the Xenoseekers faction leader in a park. He asked us to clear out a warehouse, and then purchase a new album by Sugar Cake machine or something (we decided it sounded like AKB48's "Sugar Rush" from Reck-it-Ralph). We cleared out the warehouse easily enough (the creature rolled super poorly), and then stood in line to get the album.
At this point our Android decided to start 'studying' the music by playing it over and over on a loop. Basically he became a superfan without realizing it. Our mystic re-affirmed his belief that he wants to rejoin the swarm (THIS is what you get with free will? Nope!). The rest of us bought copies for everyone (everyone in the party PLUS the copy for BOTH faction leaders) and headed back.
Not too much to say here, but my Yskoi got to show off his gunfighter gun-twirling skill (he's got the thief Operative specialty, so he uses slight of hand for trick shots.)
Ok - the quest to acquire the Sugar Rush album is genius!
