[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8270286, member: 7030132"] I am not much of a fan of this AP (and generally how Paizo handles the Starfinder setting), simply because they use the usual Pathfinder AP formula with world threatening opponents and the PCs being the only (competent) people who can prevent it. This is already stretching the versimilitude of Pathfinder, but in Starfinder you have a whole star system with several highly advanced planets, fast travel and instant communication on it. That would mean that there would be thousands of level 20 characters and hundreds of level 20 ships (and entire armies of lesser ones) which makes it very unbelievable that the PCs are the only ones capable of facing whatever the newest world/system destroying threat is. This adventure tries to account for it a bit, but imo not very well (like most other SF APs). Paizo would need to fundamentally alter the way they write APs which, sadly, is unlikely to happen. (Even in the newest AP where the PCs are supposed to be everyday people the entire world revolves around them instead of being believable). [/QUOTE]
