Companion system based on feats, interesting. I have been waiting for this. Was kind of hoping for a class that specialized in this, but I think I like this even more.
Why can’t my books ship yet. The wait is killing me.
Will it be possible to get multiple companions? One of my players is very interested in his character becoming a sort of beastmaster

Something about that space Leshy terrifies me to my core.
Lol, love the art for the raxilite the pistol on it's back looks like a heavy weapon.

Nice ! Can't wait to have a tashtari by my side :)

Seriously?
19 playable species?
Isn't that a bit excessive?
NOPE
Sneaking suspicion that some of those 19 will be a batch of the other playable races released across the APs

Some of them are, yes. I think at least 14 or 15 of them are new (to starfinder) though. Maybe more.
will the new animal companion add more robust rules for drones as well like more ways to use the saddle perhaps ?

So it will work similar to PF2 animal companion system?
We certainly looked to PF2 (and several other places) to inform our design on this, but it's its own system.

While you can purchase as many appropriate creatures as you like, you can have only creature companion (relationships take work!).

Sam Phelan did a great job incorporating the science into this weird, "only in Starfinder" creature!

The rules for creature companions don't include additional rules for drones; it was important to us to keep the two systems distinct.

50, but less than 10 per Bestiary.
And that's pretty much all on Golarion, just grabbing a couple here and there from other planets.
Starfinder has a whole Galaxy to populate - they are being conservative with only 19 races in this book.

Yes, I love that they're making so many more playable character options for SF as they introduce new alien archives. :D

let me rephrase the question because that is super valid and very important.
The drone saddle allows for treating a drone as a combat trained mount. Will there be greater clarity on what that means and what we can do ?
Every time I see those cute Raxalites my heart breaks a little more. These PDFs can't ship fast enough!
The raxilites are pretty darned adorable.
Hmm
And also potentially terrifying!

I just wonder which is the companion, the humanoid or the quadruped.
Also, after seeing the cute plant creature my players started to wonder if this is Starfinder or Pokemon and whether this is going just too far :D

Meh. Different strokes for different folks. Life is weird. I'm playing a 7ft tall Jellyfish in a game. I love that. Others think that's silly.
such is life.

Thank you for helping me understand your question!
While the mount rules in AA3 clarify some of what's in the Starfinder Core Rulebook, they are directed toward creature companions. As a GM, I would personally use these rules to help guide my treatment of drones as combat-trained mounts, but I will be working with Thurston Hillman and Organized Play to help officially codify things for our OP programs, at the very least.

Hmm
Hmmm. I don't like the raxilites.

SPACE LESHIES!!!!

Hmmm. I don't like the raxilites.
I don’t like the idea of a swarm of them coming for me where each one counts as a separate hand, all smiling that gormless smile.
I can't believe how disappointed I am in you all. Not a single mention of the Tom Sawyer reference. Kids these days.
Also...get off my lawn.
Mean, mean pride...
