This is actually a “lifeboat” thread from the Tieflings in Starfinder? thread in General Discussion. Conversions started appear in that thread, but they really should be under Homebrew.

*- What does “day” mean when other worlds will have different rotational speeds?
I am curious. What about the tiefling in the starfarers compagin is too strong? Other than the +5 to energy it's pretty standard.
Putting it against a human that gets 1 feat and an extra skill every level it's pretty balanced in my opinion.
Then have them choose one immunity instead of three if you have a problem with it? Just wondering why you would give it disguise self once per day instead?
We do have a race from piazo that can have 5 fire resistance that stacks with other sources, the ryphorians, so it can't be that broken. I do like the each and boys to saves option better, but a single 5 resistance isn't going to break the game.

My concern is that I want the full gamit of Tieflings and Aasimar, not to mention the elemental races too. The generic versions don't really do it for me.
I agree that the resistances are very strong. Completely axing them is questionable, but I'm not sure I know what would work better.
One more point to make: if your Aasimar get +2 to any stat, so should your Tieflings. Considering the extra large variety of Tieflings in the setting, I'd say it's not a crazy change to give them +2 to anything and no negative.

And I'd argue that the Rhyphorians are a bit of a poor choice on that front because starfinder runs on rather different math to Pathfinder. I'd lean towards 1/level for any race with resistance to an element if you need it to still be resistance as that keeps it in line with the existing feat for such effects.

The Starfinder Companion added two things to be base tiefling (pages 36-37).
- adds "In addition, tieflings gain spell resistance 6 + their character level against good spells." While this doesn't come up that often , it is still a small increase in power.
- adds "Sleight Of Hand" to the list of skills receiving a +2 racial bonus.
I agree that they need a nerf.
Only question for your tiefling is why disguise self?
Deceptive Once per day*, Tieflings can use the Technomacer spell Disguise Self with a caster level equal to their total character level.
Looking at previous Tieflings I can't find them having disguise self.

Correct. They did not.
However, I was looking for an appropriate power that be both thematic and not too strong.
Do they still get a physical trait like tail or wings?

Not under my write-up (They do in the Starfarer's Companion).
But ... that still would be a great option for replacing the spell-like ability. Possibly easier to balance.
I also changed the Daylight and Darkness spell like abilities, as these spells no longer exist in Starfinder. So rather then light vs. dark, I emphasized truth vs. lies.
Create Darkness is in the alien archive on page 153. Don't see Daylight though.

I saw that too, but it is kind of iffy as a player power.
