Beta 1 continues that - but has added "instancing" for multiplayer, groupings (and ignores) so you can hang with friends online and never see people you decide are griefers. Instancing remains a work in progress. Ship insurance, multiple ships, upgrades, etc - are in place at various levels.

Beta will run a while - then we will see GAMMA phase - where a "complete" game is close. Consider Gamma more like release candidates.

After the game goes gold - the devs are going to continue working on additional content - planetary landings, boarding and capturing ships, etc.... Its gonna get HUGE.
