Why are you making the (incorrect) assumption that early access/beta games don't go on sale?
I know some Early Access games on Steam have gone on sale before, but I would assume that depends on the company or developer.
And, pretty much the game is open beta like Minecraft was in Alpha then Beta for quite a while before actual launch. It's very playable even if in this state. Not many beta and alpha games are fully playable, and Starbound bucks that trend.
Like Minecraft, there will be things added to it as time goes by until they decide when to actually launch the game and transition from beta to launch version. Everything added after that will either be from mods or from the developers themselves.
(I need to suggest on their forums to add a bookmark list for planets... My friends and I have forgotten to bookmark our home planet/home base and lost the coordinates to it. )
