Stupid Question about DLC/Expansions

[Gundato]

I bought this on Steam last week (the sale was nice, and it was a toss-up between Steam or GG) and noticed that the "DLC"/Expansions download as separate games.

Is this as intended (so no "You got your Pirates in my Privateer" and the like), or am I missing something? Should I be able to access all the content just by launching a single title, or are the DLC/Expansions completely separate?

Thanks.

Completely separate.

...they are? Wait, so does that mean the installation order doesn't matter then?

Just load all at the same time - I did from the same package - no problems whatsoever. One of the smoothest downloads I have had.
