Some more details from the wiki:
https://starcitizen.tools/Chad_McKinney
He developed and supported many player facing multiplayer gameplay features using Star Engine. This includes among others the interaction system, item health and destruction, the room and atmosphere system, player created missions, energy and power distribution, designer systems for item creation, spline traversal to planetary surface locations, physically moving elevators, inventory, global persistence.
The source for this isn't cited too well (the referenced link leads to the homepage of his site instead of a direct link to the info), but it lines up with the kind of subjects that he spoke about in the official videos.
