Playing a homegame of Adventure Path 1 and we're starting part 2. As this was my first experience with an RPG homegame (I mostly play PFS/SFS), I jumped on my chance to play a race that I'd otherwise be unable to, in this case Dragonkin.
Party consists of:
Dragonkin Soldier(Blitz)/Mystic(Overlord) (me)
Lashunta (Damaya) Operative
Ysoki Biohacker
Vesk Vanguard
It's been fun and we're really enjoying the roleplaying as a bunch of wannabe Starfinders thrown together with people we've never met before we're even officially members.
However, one thing I can see getting old quickly is that I'm just too damn big. Lashunta and Vesk are Medium, Ysoki are Small, but Dragonkin are Large. I don't mind squeezing into places not built for people of my...girth...but I often find that I'm making it difficult for the Biohacker and Operative to hit anything as I'm so large that I provide cover to everything. And of course it doesn't help that I rush forward with my melee reach weapon (+4STR, -2DEX means I'm not great with ranged weapons).
So, moving forward, I'd like to try and be less of an obstacle (literally) for my allies. Any advice on how I can go about this?
Also, for situations where you want to be on the way, to block something, or the space is just too crowded, sight or scope weapon accessories would probably be a very solid investment for your party, to mitigate or remove that cover penalty.
In small hallways it gets a bit more tricky. Tumbling thought enemies is quite hard and Dex is not your strong point.
Is overrun not a thing any more? I went looking for it but didn't find it.
Because that would be my thought for getting behind opponents in a small corridor. Flying seems off (even though it would probably work with the rules) because of the narrow space - not enough width for wings.
Some nice ideas here. Our session today was shorter than usual, and we spent a good chunk of it using our new wealth to re-equip/upgrade our items. (Half of the session was 1 space combat...I'm not a great captain...)
Our Vanguard has obtained a shield and a one-handed weapon and is looking to be a tank. I've upgraded from a Pike to a Dragonglaive and, after learning that armor check penalties only really apply when I try hovering or something, I upgraded from the lighter Iridishell armor to Defiance Squad armor (looking at Kyokor Plating next). The Operative got a number of Library chips and a Sniper Rifle, and the Biohacker got a 4000 credit light armor, giving him the highest AC (Zeizerer Diffractor II is erroneously listed as 1200 on Archives of Nethys).
We didn't actually get into any combat, but it seems we'll be more in the open, allowing easier formation movement. The Vanguard has suggested that he and I form a kind of 2-part unit. He's in front taking the hits while I'm behind him smashing face. I think that'll work well, especially since I'm part Mystic and can heal him if necessary. (Though I'd prefer to use Command or Fear)
I'll have to look into these Falcon Boots. It seems they're from the AP itself, so I'm not sure if I'll have to find them, or if they're available for purchase.

If you are asking if they are SFS legal then yes they are. Make sure you read them though, I was gm'ing a table and had to shut down a guys whole build based on them because he did not read the action economy requirements.
I do not know if your GM is running any kind of special requirements about what is available for purchase in your campaign and what is not. What I can tell you is that there is a significant amount of equipment in the back matter of Starfinder AP volumes that is not found in the adventures, but just tied thematically to the setting info being covered in the back of that book.

Doesn't seem to be anything special. In PFS you can normally buy items upto your level +2, but when the Biohacker asked what the limit on purchases was, the GM said "if you can afford it, you can buy it."

Starfinder is Level +2 in major settlements like Absolom Station, less in smaller cities or towns.
Starfinder Society is Level + 1 if it is in the core book, Level+2 from a chronicle sheet, or equal to your level from any other source.
