There is another Expansion in progress for Distant Worlds - a 4X Space game with a projected release between October & Christmas.
We don't know all the details yet, but it looks like Borders and Zones of Influence are being implemented.
They've also announced some changes in Diplomacy to take these and other features into account.
There's a Screen shot of the current Alpha version at the bottom of the first page here showing a few new features:

Be forewarned - it doesn't resize and it's a pretty good sized picture.
Here's a thread with some info on the original release of Distant Worlds:

And here's the thread for the first Expansion - Return of the Shakturi:

FYI for those that have DW and haven't played it in awhile - the vanilla version is at 1.0.7.0 and the RotS version is at 1.5.0.8.
They're said they plan on releasing another update to RotS before this latest Expansion is completed.
