This ability is describe as : As a move action, you can predetermine all potential outcomes and variables before attacking a foe with a spell to consistently strike them at their most vulnerable spot, forcing the target to rely on its reflexes to avoid your attack. If you cast a spell that requires a melee attack or ranged touch attack to affect a target before the end of your next turn, you automatically hit your target, but your foe can attempt a Reflex save to negate your spell’s effect (calculating your spell’s save DC normally). ( source Character Operations Manual pg. 93)

My question is what is a ranged touch attack in the context of Starfinder? I know a touch attack is using my str mod against enemy EAC (melee attack). I am familiar with pathfinder version ranged touch attack. Would it be proper to assume then that a ranged touch attack in this case would be making a range attack against enemy EAC?

Bad (i.e. Pathfinder 1e) wording there. It translates to a ranged attack targeting EAC.
