I'm guessing coordinates act as seeds, then, pretty cool.

The idea of the spacestation as a base and of usable vehicles is cool too.

I hope I can mod it so I can go around like The Thing and transform into native creatures and assimilate them

Yes, moddability gives a lot of life to a game (CC rules for that too), and this looks an awesome idea for a mod! Being able to assimilate abilities from creatures you slain and transform into them by polymorphing!
Just read the Starbound forum's FAQ. I got some of my facts wrong.
The only ways it will be like Terraria is the graphics style, due to the artists being the ones who worked on Terraria, and the fact that you can build and mine.
The combat will be deeper, and you can only take one armor set with you at a time. Or something.
No open beta, but a small closed beta with a few trusted members of their forum community.
There will be a deep customization system with multiple races to choose from.
Planets will be rated on a difficulty scale from 1 to 100. If your gear is rated lower than the planet's difficulty, you will have quite a bit of trouble on the planet.
Only actual gameplay video so far:

Yeah, I agree. I've actually been following the development of this for some time now. Seems very promising.

All I heard in that trailer was ♥♥♥♥ nyan cat music. On the other hand the dynamic lighting looks pretty sexy and smooth.
