So Im planning on running this game with some of my friends online. However after looking at both D20pro and Roll20 and neither one really supports space combat well. What are people doing for space combat online?


Well, maybe wrong choice of online VTT Software ? ;-)
Paizo and Smiteworks have an Agreement on Pathfinder and Starfinder.
Starfinder is brand new, but in a matter of days expected, Starfinder VTT material would be available for the Fantasy Grounds VTT environment.

Roll20 has hex option, so change it to hex and use roll20 token maker to make hex tokens with something that can express facing, easy enough.

We just released an official Starfinder ruleset for Fantasy Grounds a few weeks ago. We are busy wrapping up the basic functionality for starships and starship combat will be expanded more and more as we go.

You can use a hex grid on a map or image like the starfield in FG with a toggle (right-click for the menu) and the starship tokens are being redone to have a hex base and directional facing.

Player character sheets are available now.
Starships get their own custom character sheet and these will be getting an update this week and next week to fix some launch day bugs and expand the functionality significantly. The new functionality will allow multiple roles on the ship to facilitate combat, track shields per arc, etc. It will also supports drag and drop ship creation with components and build point calculations. I'm biased since I represent Fantasy Grounds, but it's pretty awesome.

I am currently running the adventure path in Roll20 and I have found no issues with Space Combat. As Shaudius said you can change the map to two different Hex patterns and it works prefect. Make yourself some ship tokens and go nuts.
