Started an ironman game with xenophile empire, soon found a shielded planet and liberated those poor souls. It turned out they were fanatical purifiers, with star fortress just on the borders of my small empire :)

TL;DR: Distant Stars adds a lot of content, and is definitely worth the $10 I spent on it. Adds some lag that will hopefully be patched. Makes you feel like you really are exploring and discovering mysteries.

I wish there was a 'meh' option to reviews, because Distant Stars isn't worth $9.99. Leviathans is something that earns the $10 price tag, but Distant Stars feels to me like it should be something like $5, because it's not nearly as ambitious or polished.
