It is not a ranger archetype, so there ability replacement needn't be equivalent. Because most of the class's build surrounds starship flight skill levels and ship's gunnery, I didn't want the class to lack personal combat skills. So I replaced companion bond with sidearm bond, so that I could have a progression of weapon attack bonuses, instead of going the route of "animal companion" surrogate.On the other hand, for the Technologist class on the first page of my space classes thread, instead of a familiar, I replaced that with a UAV (unmanned flying vehicle) with artificial intelligence, a manipulator arm attached that can pick things up and wield ranged small arms. As an alternative, you could replace companion bond with a similar UAV bond. While it could levitate, a UAV with multiple props like a mini-helicopter seems perfectly appropriate. A mounted remote camera linked to a heads-up display or set of goggles worn by the PC allows remote viewing through the UAV.</blockquote>
