Starfinder Differences

[Edward McGee]

This is awesome! I was actually just thinking about making a dex-y weapon solarion cause they don't get heavy armor proficiency. Had to reconsider since there's no weapon finesse! Shame!

Another option that is hotly debated and favored by many is to take 1 level in Soldier, Typically Blitz style. In your case you would choose Dex as your key attribute.

Pros: As long as your Dex is higher then your Cha it will be the stat your resolve points are based on. You get Heavy Armor proficiency along with nearly every weapon. Blitz adds an unnamed bonus to your initiative and speed.

Cons: Any Solarian abilities you take that have a save will be based on your charisma. You delay all of your Solarian abilities by a level. You don't automatically gain Weapon Specialization in those extra Soldier weapons when you hit Solarian 3. Though the feat Versatile Specialization at level 5+ will solve that.
