It's a challenge for me, because as a once-per-month player (tops), I'll pretty much have ONE character (versus eleven or so in PFS). It has to be versatile and fun.
My first thought was a damaya Lashunta Icon Envoy as a hard-core "face". Not much of a combatant, but could rock as a ship captain as well as a diplomat/skill monkey. I've made one, so it's still a strong maybe.
The ace pilot type I love (I'm a showboater, I admit), but I played one in a two-year Star Wars RPG home campaign about 15 years ago, still within the "been there, done that" window.
Probably when I have a chance to sit down and really read the book, I'll go with something I can *only* play in SF, like a Vesk Xenoseeker Technomancer or the like. Whatever it is, though, it has to be a passable "face", since I *can't not* play face at a gaming table (which is why even my PFS ranger has +20 Diplomacy).
