Starbound Getting Big Space Themed Content Update!

Starbound has always been a game that features grand scale and the ability to do a lot. Now, the team is preparing an update that’ll make the space you roam in even bigger. For on their dev blog, they revealed that they are going to be adding galactic scale changes to the game:

“In our previous posts we’ve mentioned that ‘space’ is the overarching theme of this patch, and showed a little preview of some exciting new space vehicles. We have some even bigger (downright galactic) changes planned, including fleshing out one of the most fundamental parts of the game: interplanetary travel!

Space isn’t just about stars and planets, it’s about the space between them, so you’ll now be able to fly freely around systems and explore all kinds of new locations, from space stations to traveling merchant ships to mysterious derelicts! Systems won’t just be static, either — moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, and rich opportunities come and go, rewarding patient explorers with brand new perils and plunder!”

There’s no word yet on when exactly this patch will release in Starbound.
