I want to add some sci fi to my Pathfinder collection, but only want one book. I know very little about either campaign setting, so feel free to elaborate.
Just from what I've read online, Aethera looks really awesome fluff-wise with some cool races and one neat class (cleric variant), but a slew of archetypes. It uses the standard PF core rules. Starfinder is a complete game in one book, but doesn't have as compelling of fluff. The races and classes are a mixed bag? The mechanics are a major step away from standard PF?
Do both books have decent gear sections? Monsters? Ship Combat?
