Stealth In Space?

Is this even doable in Starfinder, either edition, without a cloaking device? I could understand maybe powering down their ship and trying to either coast in undetected as space debris or hiding behind an asteroid but I can't seem to find any actual rules about it. I don't want to say to my players "no you can't do this" but I also don't want it to be as simple as a stealth check since my damned pilot is also a stealth build and just blows through any Hard DC set from Narrative Ship Combat.

Returning to Starfinder 1e as a GM. Had some VTT questions for the community

Hey Starfinder Society! I am returning to GMing for Starfinder 1e after about 4 years. I am planning on running Dead Suns Adventure Path, but it has been a few years. Previously I ran Against the Aeon Throne but I ran this on Roll20. Since then, Roll20 hasn't gotten any new modules and to be honest, Roll20's implementation of Starfinder 1e was lack luster.

I wanted to know from the community if there has been any new community efforts to make SF 1e better on Roll20 with Mods or what have you.

I am also not adverse to switching VTT's. I was thinking Foundry as I hear that if you paid for the PDF's you can implement them into the VTT along with other materials built by the community, but I don't know the extent to how wide this compendium is or I was thinking of re-buying all of the book and using Fantasy Grounds. Can I get some opinions on peoples experiences with both GMing and Playing on both platforms?

My group has always used Roll20 so I wanted to get some information/opinions on switching platforms if Roll20 isn't the best option to *cough* roll with.

Thanks for your time gang, and I will see you in the stars.

Stellar Build just got its biggest update yet!

I spent three weeks rebuilding Stellar Build from the ground up. Here's what changed.

Stellar Build is my form-fillable PDF for Starfinder 2e. It's a character builder, character sheet, and rules reference in one PDF that works at the table.

This update is the biggest one I've done. The backend is completely rebuilt, which quietly fixed a pile of bugs and made everything faster. But the more interesting stuff is what that rebuild made possible.

A few things I'm genuinely pleased with: selecting your weapon group now auto-generates your critical specialization text. Armor group does the same for armor specialization. Both are rules a lot of players never realise they have - now they're impossible to miss.

Here's the full picture of what's new:

Automation

  • Attack bonus and MAP calculate automatically, including adjustments for Agile, Finesse, and Kickback
  • Raising your shield updates your AC immediately
  • Armor group selection auto-fills your armor specialization effect
  • Weapon group selection generates your critical specialization text
  • Bulk totals itself, Light items included, with Encumbered and Max thresholds shown alongside

Content

  • 28 new ancestries from the Galactic Ancestries book, marked as Starfinder or Pathfinder versions (so both lists in one file)
  • Every build step links directly to the right Archives of Nethys page
  • Numbered containers throughout - a GM can say "box 14" and everyone finds it immediately
  • New Actions and Feats overview page so you're not hunting through pages mid-combat
  • Full spellcasting overhaul with dedicated sections per spell type and a Repertoire page for prepared casters
  • Proficiencies now use dropdowns instead of squares

Print

  • Layout reset across every page with tighter safe margins
  • Grey backgrounds removed throughout for cleaner printing

It's pay-what-you-want, so free to download. If it earns a place at your table though, a donation really does help keep the project alive - these tools cost more to make than I can cover alone. A review means just as much if that's more your style.

Has anyone done the math?

How many UPBs could you fit in a briefcase? I'm working on subplots and the idea of a small heist came to mind. And considering a UPB is about the size of a grain of rice, I was wondering how big of a hall an entire suitcase full of them would be. I really, really don't like the idea of having to figure out, by volume, How many grains of rice could fit in a briefcase, so I was hoping someone else may have already done it.

So... Has anybody already done the math, or am I in for a whole lot of number crunching today?

Had a great experience with Paizo support

Had a really great customer service experience with Paizo today and wanted to share something positive.

I recently ordered a mix of Pathfinder and Starfinder stuff, both 1E and 2E, and my order ended up getting split into multiple shipments by mistake. That caused a duplicate flat shipping charge from the carrier that wasn’t supposed to happen.

I reached out to support this morning, and within a few hours they got back to me, confirmed it was an error on their end, and sorted it out with a really fair solution. Super easy, no hassle.

Also, whoever helped me signed off their email with a Parks & Rec quote:

"Not to worry, I have a permit."

"This just says 'I can do what I want.'"

Honestly made my day.

I’ve been playing TTRPGs for about 8+ years, but I’m still pretty new to Pathfinder and Starfinder. This was a really nice first impression.

Akulaxi is a ryphorian investigator I drew for one of my players! She is heavily inspired by the GOAT Kim Kitsuragi

Here's my submission for a multi-deck ship design.

I hope you like it! If you want a version without the ship name or with gridlines, let me know! I'd just be happy knowing someone saw my stuff.
