today they told, it's possible to build a big pacman like furnace ship, that can 'eat' other player stations/ships and reprocess them even if someone is inside. Also it's possible to steal someone ship by 'grabbing' it.

They also have moving parts and everything is scriptable. You can actually build your own custom factory/assembly line, bolt by bolt, with robotic arms and everything..

That looks incredible...  But I've had enough disappointment with games not delivering what they promise.

Yep, who cares about promises anyway, those aren't the stars I sail by. It looks good nonetheless.

It's not DU, but it has its own qualities, and it might help me wait...

Maybe also a source of inspiration, who knows.

I guess we'll see.

I heard that they're using a p2p system, so I'm curious to see how that's going to work with the amount of players they want on the server. 

Same here, I didn't know that. I guess that's their way of partitioning the workload into groups of players that are close together in-game, using our own hardware and bandwidth. So that could be good news for the total number of players in the game universe. But it doesn't necessarily bode well for overall performance in busy areas.
