During the lengthy Kinda Funny Gamecast interview mainly focused on Fallout, Bethesda's Todd Howard revealed a big Starfield update coming this week to the Steam beta branch.
The first story expansion, Shattered Space, will be released this Fall. In the update that we have coming - I think it's going to get announced in a few days, actually this week, and be up on Steam beta - it's got some great stuff for shipbuilding in it as well.

Shattered Space is in the Fall, but we have a big update that's coming really soon to Starfield and does a lot of stuff. We redid the map stuff, so we have some city map stuff.
Howard also discussed the feedback the team got after Starfield launched, acknowledging that exploration is different in this game than in Elder Scrolls or Fallout due to the setting.
He even teased new display modes (read: high frame rate options) on consoles. Obviously, we see the feedback; we see a lot of players saying, this is what I want out of a Bethesda game, which is to explore a world in a certain way, and Starfield didn't give me that; I prefer the way it's done in Fallout or Elder Scrolls.
