    I believe this has to do with corrupt character files. Go ahead and follow these steps - this is how I fixed this particular bug for a friend:
    1. Head to the directory where you've installed Starbound - through Steam, you can right click on Starbound in your library, click the 'Local Files' tab, and click 'Browse Local Files'.
    2. Open the 'giraffe_storage' folder, then open the 'player' folder.
    3. Delete the first file. If the game launches, you're done - if not, undo the deletion (Ctrl + Z on Windows) and proceed with the second file, then third, then fourth, etc.
    Good luck!
