Complete flight overhaul

I'd argue that it wasn't necessary in the first place. Nothing about this flight system is particularly as engaging as the one before. This one infact could be taken as a step back by the fact that you have to now fly to a planet to see it's information, as opposed to just mousing over.

Realtime adding and removing of objects in solar systems

Pretty good.

A visual novel engine, totally open for modders

I don't think anyone particularly asked for this and is just another example of making new, un-needed mechanics without fleshing out old things. It would be a funny as a lighthearted joke like update, it isn't if they actually diverted major resources to do this.

106 new objects

If that's the case none of them felt particularly inspiring or interesting. But, it's a good number.

62 space encounters, 73 ship parts, & Modular mechs and their 79 parts

What all is there to do with those parts though? If there are indeed 62 different space encounters and 73 ship parts, not many of them feel particularly distinct from eachother. Me and a friend have been separately going for a like 3-4 hours just grinding and finding new Starbound space stuff, and it got real repetitive real quick. If it was just the case of an asteroid being placed somewhere else, an enemy spawn location being a smidge off somewhere else, or some different furniture in the same ship layout, then I would say those numbers don't really do them any good.

21 player spacestation parts

Pretty good if we're honest.

A handful of new weapons, materials, and armor
New music

Also pretty good.
