[b]Things revealed from this video:[/b]
You can set waypoints to mark your favorite planets.
NMS might have space whales, if so you might be able to ride them.
Not every solar system will have AI space ships, you can sometimes be totally alone within a solar system, with nothing to fight.
You can't lock yourself into orbit around a planet.
Some planets will have rings.
The devs making NMS are talking about xenoarchaeology (the study of material remains to reconstruct and interpret past life-ways of alien civilizations).
Some worlds will be completely composed of liquid or sand.
You shouldn't be able to get in situations where you have to kill yourself because you're stuck, you have a jetpack & a laser, so you should be able to escape.
Meat eating plants will be in NMS.
You cannot build bases or anything else in NMS, however if NMS is a success Sean will add building and other features later.

I just hope that they over at Hello Games won't have a ton of roadblocks preventing them from updating and adding new content to the game. I can see Sony trying to stick it to the player and make more money by forcing any additional content as DLC. Its a shame publishers do that. This isn't the case with every game company, however. The indie company Liminal Games making The Memory of Eldurim doesn't try to screw the player. You buy the game and you get free almost weekly updates/refinements to the game. I know Hello Games doesn't want to screw us over, but any big company tends to lean towards squeezing all the money out of you.

Looking good.
