Basically it's the game Space Engineers wanted to be. Mass multiplayer shipbuilding war sandbox. Has a much much better damage model than Space Engineers and also a deeper construction process. You can automate the entire construction process using robots (programmed by you or others) but at its most basic, you can literally build a ship by assembling the frame out of iron beams and riveting plates to it.

The devs are very active here and will answer most any question about the game in the FAQ channel.
I would be inclined to say it's bullshit if I hadn't already seen it working, but it seems to be coming together very well (they have already done 80+ player combat tests around a voxelized space station with over 10 million individual components) so keep an eye on it if Space Engineers left you disappointed. Will be available "soon" for early access.
I am goddamn excited for this
The YOLOL system doesn't entice me as much as I was hoping; It seems like it's meant to make things a bit more intuitive, but it currently seems like it's going to do the opposite. Will be interested to see how it all comes together though.
I don't know anything about it but the devs have a public transit system programmed in that language running on their test station and a full IK system has been written in YOLOL for robot arms like the one posted above. Personally scripting, especially in games, does my head in but it looks pretty powerful in Starbase.
This looks incredible but just not for me, sadly. I'd KILL to have all of this in a singleplayer Freelancer/Elite: Dangerous style package, "endless PvP war" just doesn't tickle my pickle
