–3 penalty instead of a –4 penalty stack

Can i stack the Solarian's Flashing Strike with the Soldier's Blitz Charge Attack?
Would the Solarian with a Solar Flare, using Soldier's Sharpshoot Focus Fire stack with Flashing Strike?

Sharpshoot and Flashing Strikes do the same thing. There's nothing to stack.

The 5th Level Blitz ability isn't a Full Attack, it's an extra Attack when you Charge (which is its own Full Action), so it doesn't interact with anything that affects Full Attacks.

My take, at least.

No. The Blitz Style "Charge Attack" ability lets you charge as a standard action and make a single attack at the end of the charge. Two attacks at 11th level (when you get the Soldier's Onslaught ability). But it's all a standard action. Flashing strikes specifically only applies when making a full attack.

No, both abilities specifically reduce the penalty to -3 instead of -4. (It would be different if one/both said they "reduce the penalty by 1" but they do not. They reduce specifically to -3.)

Addendum:

As a GM I'm fine with the specific case of Solar Flare-Flashing Strikes-Focus Fire resulting in a total of -2 on a full attack.

It's not that powerful, and it requires a significant amount of multiclassing. A lot of the Starfinder rules are written this way ("-3 instead of -4"). Presumably to provide room for future published material and not end up in a situation where people can stack rules with minimal investment and end up with a -0. As written they wouldn't stack, but I'm OK allowing this particular combo in a home game. Some others I might not allow.

Thank you all those answers help.
