Can someone give me a rundown of which DLCs would be worth it and what they offer?
If on discount i would say Utopia. Gives you megastructures, hive minds and ascension paths. Probably the one that impacts the gameplay the most, so buy it when its on sale.
Leviathans is ok if you get it cheap, but it just adds a bunch of special "monsters" to the game that spice things up a bit (although not to much tbh).
Synthetic Dawn is a bit meh. If you really want to play a "hive mind" Robotic empire, then its a must, but overall its doesn't add that much to gameplay. The feature i like the most is the revamped A.I. endgame crisis.

Well, the robots play quite differently to organic races.
Ie. you don't have 'growth' anymore, but you build your people. It's much bigger impact than it seems

Yeah, but if you don't play as a robotic empire, the biggest change is the endgame crisis. It doesn't impact the game as much as Utopia does.
I own all the DLC's and like them all, but SD is a bit more narrow for the price.
Apocalypse is awesome, if you can look past the bugs. The fleet manager messes up all the time and causes even crashes. (I had once -200 Corvettes in my fleet. When I merged it with another fleet it crashed the game).
And some quests don't consider Marauders to be a hindrance... Got the mission to transport the gas people to new planet -> Marauder system planet.
Also, using the ... aarg.. brainfart, 'space highways' to jump from one system to another (ie, travelling your camera, not ships) can cause the game to crash. Not sure if related to the crash, but I was taking out a marauder system and had taken out 2 of the 3 systems and when I was in the second, finishing up, I sent the ships to the third sector directly via the arrow in the local map view and then I also left clicked the arrow to get to the system -> I went into weird 'loop' where the map panned towards the arrow and then centered back into current system. I could only get out of this by hitting esc and loading the game -> I could immediately reproduce it again.
But yea, my biggest gripe overall is the fleet manager issues. It's so annoying when it messes up the fleets, ie, it shows 20/0 corvettes and 0/20 corvettes -> somehow the 20 I have don't match the ones set in the manager (I have only 1 type of corvette). From what I've read, people say it's about the experience of the ships, that it messes it up, but I would not be so sure, as I also really often get the magical 0/20 and when I start removing it (pressing the - to get it to 0 -> instead of disappearing at 0, I can put it to negative numbers -> now just about anything will crash the game, safest thing to do is to split the fleet (ie. leave 1 corvette into the fleet with the bugged negative fleet) and delete this fleet)
Too bad I'm too lazy to whine at the paradox forums :I

Distant Stars is a new Story Pack for Stellaris, the sci-fi grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio. In this new discovery-themed pack, players will uncover new anomalies and storylines, and encounter strange new beings in the uncharted depths of space. Featuring new surprises that may help or harm ambitious explorers, the new Distant Stars DLC will include:
Behind Closed Doors: Discover hidden traces of an ancient gateway network unlocking a sealed path to a constellation outside our own galaxy. But is this door holding something out, or keeping something in?
Sensors are Picking up… That Can’t be Right: Encounter dozens of new anomalies and events for your intrepid scientists to observe and analyze, and a galaxy of wonders for them to discover.
Brave New Worlds: Plot unexplored unique solar systems, each with their own story to tell. Gain technology, resources, and valuable worlds to colonize.
There’s Always a Bigger Fish: Come face to face with a number of unique gargantuan creatures that exist and thrive in the vacuum of space. But approach with caution, because whether gentle giants or something more sinister, these legendary behemoths have existed long before you and will do what it takes to survive long after.
hmmh... I feel like the game runs much slower after the dlc...
Not just slower pacing (which I also feel, but it could be explained by the game overall just ticking days more slowly).
I played yesterday for~6h in the same huge galaxy... I played on speed 3 non stop (I just pause for decisions)
I think I advanced like 100 years. I think normally in 6h at max speed I've gotten 200-300 years at least...

yeah I was under the impression they were quite similar games. The only reason why I played galactic civilizations scaramonga was because I bought that bundle pack with most of the dlcs (think all but 1 paid dlc) included on steam. Stellaris also has a ton of dlc's but no deals that I have noticed and most of the dlc's look quite pricey/
edit: actually there is a deal going on right now for 6 of the dlcs with 39% off. I just tried to buy it but my card was declined for some reason lol. I bought a few things earlier Ancerstors legacy and a few indie gala and humble packs.. so maybe blocked for security reason. Stupid bank.. I hope the deal is still on by the time im cleared again.
I just cannot fathom how the fuck they could even begin to translate a Paradox grand strategy game's controls to a gamepad.
I mean, even Cities Skylines was barely manageable, and here we have a fuckton of menus and sub-menus. I guess we'll see when they drop some gameplay videos, but this sounds like an April fools.
Speaking of Galciv.. I think GalCiv3 is good, but it's also a game where everyone feels pretty much completely anonymous.
How is this game on a more personal level, do you get something which at least feels like you are interacting with the other races? Do you get a "feel" for your own civilization in any deeper way?
From what i've heard they're quite different games.
Not played for ages and decided to start again today, quick question which I forgot the answer too.
If I build a starbase to increase my borders, then colonise a planet within that system, can I then destroy the starbase? Is it even possible to do so?
Thanks
Edit: Forget that, I see you cannot. Bit pointless having the starbase eating up resources and, essentially there to increase borders, which when colonised a planet also does so.

Useless features, does nothing to eliminate the boredom that is Stellaris.
I really need a new 4x space game.
Endless Space 2. For me it is by far the best 4x game. Does away with as much of micromanagement as possible, keeps it focused on strategy. Just like it should be.

Not a bad idea. Have only played a few games at release, should probably give it a go with the latest DLC.
Currently playing DWU, I always seem to go back to this game, even though it has its own issues, however most can be fixed by mods.
