No, those planets are the Pre-Alpha test planets they have going. The actual Alpha Test will be in 100 Km radius planets, beyond that, is yet to be confirmed, but they have said that the planets are smaller, because the star they orbit is smaller in the starting system and they did confirm that they intend to mix biomes together to create more interesting worlds, so, for all we know, they might be intdeed goin gfor bigger planets after they have players going for planet-hunting, but that's my theory at least, as with the way the built the game, how big a planet was would not really affect performance (because of occlusion), but the horizon could be playing a role in immersion, as we would be able to larger bigger cities.
My comment was not about planet size, but speculation on how exactly they are measuring a 1 km tile. Is it the length (short or long) or surface area.
