For our Starfinder Society games on Fantasy Grounds, GM Talwynor and I repurposed the Pathfinder Society Inventory Tracking Sheet. It's got a new logo, a bit of a different (slightly more "modern") font treatment, the elimination of charged items from tracking, and an additional notes field wherein anything interesting and relevant to the character's gear can be easily recorded. (And, of course, it is a form-fillable PDF.)
As characters begin to level up after 1st, this tracking becomes more relevant to our brave SFS pioneers. (My own Professor Zoom will be level 2 after Tuesday, so I needed to nail down his starting equipment!) I figured there's no sense in NOT sharing the work.
Please feel free to download the inventory tracker and pass it around. The sheet is available at the following shortlink:
Considering that there's a truly massive number of charges in a battery, the standard lines and notes field are going to be far better at tracking for, say, soldiers, than the old type of section which was mainly used for tracking the lower numbers present in Pathfinder.
A character who is running around with a variety of weapons (which, given the setting isn't entirely without merit) could potentially be tracking multiple weapons totaling hundreds of charges/ammo combined, not to mention the extra batteries/magazines they may be hauling around for their next reenactment of Rambo. Contrast with Pathfinder where mainly you were tracking 25 charge wands.
YMMV, but I'd prefer to track things inline (e.g. a weapon line might read "Laser pistol (azimuth) 17/20" after expending 3 shots in a scenario) rather than using tickboxes. (Of course, I'm personally REALLY fond of hash marks for tracking pretty much any reasonable quantity anyway.)

The whole battery thing is being hashed out right now.
And to complicate the issue even more, some weapons uses more than 1 charge per shot. So a battery with 20 charges may only provide 10 shots because each shot takes 2 charges.
But are going to need something to track charges from batteries, bullets for kinetic weapons, rockets, darts... oh lots of fun things to track!
