So, when do we get a empire creation setup similar to those peeps made before Stellaris release?

It's exactly the same stuff that we have now, just condensed somewhat, and a heck of a lot better UI. Comparing a browser UI and an ingame UI is comparing apples and oranges here. Or maybe a better thing to say is, how is that different from what we have now?
edit: Oh, and btw, it's missing the flag creation section.
Or the Praethoryn could be one that completed biological ascension instead of stagnating.
Wait, if you choose syncretic evolution and fanatic purifier, do you instantly purge your extra species?
So a few of my friends and I were wondering how some of the paid DLC features in the empire creation screen will work in Stellaris Multiplayer if only the host owns the paid DLC. Will players not owning the paid DLC still be able to make, say, hive-minded ethic empires with the accompanying civics, but only be able to use these empires in the multiplayer sessions where the DLC is bought by the host? Or will players not owning the paid DLC not be able to make empires with the paid DLC features at all? Any help would be appreciated, or if this question has already been answered, any redirection would be appreciated too! 
In all Paradox games, whatever DLC's the hosts has define the game rules. Thus, if the host has all DLC, everyone joining will play with all DLC, regardless of which they actually own.

A way to introduce more different types of hiveminds would be trought civics. Add in a "benevolent harmony" type of civic that allow you to integrate different pops instead of consuming them right on the spot, et voilá. Going against stablished game rules is precisely the entire point of it, since that is how you make flavourful, distinct empires rather than limiting them to a +/- X% modifier, I think.

Don't worry my friend, the personal Freedoms of all Species of the Empire are put into high regard, and will never be infringed. I swear this as Kaiser of the United Empire!
I doubt it, the Prethoryn don't seem to operate like these Hive Minds at all, instead being a corroding menace that twists even planets it occupies into its own horrific form.
That said, one of the Shroud teasers implies the Unbidden are the result of a race being transformed into Psi-Stuff, so who knows.
@Wiz, I've been checking and it doesn't seem anyone else has asked so I would like clarification on this: besides Hivemind, do any of the other Ethics lock you out of other ascension paths? I could see someone who chooses Materialist being locked out of Psionic and Spiritualist locked out of Synthetic but what about, for example, a fanatic militarist individualist empire? Do they get to choose any one of the three?
