Last night the person in charge of Starbound's development team released an entry on the game's website setting out a list of the upcoming changes the team at Chucklefish are hoping to make to the game through its Beta development and potentially even after release.
Tiy explains that the list was made by a fan called Xealaz on the Starbound Reddit had made a nice list and that though there are plenty of other things they are working on that it was a pretty nice way of listing everything players can expect from later updates.
The full post is linked at the bottom of the article but among the expected changes are the implementation of 'spaceship dungeons' and spaceship combat (including boarding, pirates in spaaaaace!), biome hazards, NPC spawners and NPCs with better AI (they'll know if you're stealing their stuff!), story-missions with bosses at the end and the ability to drastically alter a planet's surface from your spaceship.
