I'm wondering, or contemplating ... Vorlon, Shadow, they both have a goal that concerns eachother, we however are given two goals ...
IOW more work for us, more time to accomplish what we have to do to win the game ...
Shadows seem to be weaker than Vorlons, have worse allies, ... Vorlons should see and know that as well ...
V/S have no need to come to *us*, they can sit and defend, and being stronger if they want some more planets for their econ they can just take them with superior weap power and numbers (no doubt Elders have jihads, their lackeys as well, we are what ... 30 years away from that? 56k research for SPOO!)
Still, they don't *have* to take our planets to grow stronger, they are already strong enough ... Vorlons would/should ignore us, build his fleet of jihad/collodial CCs and go after the Shadow HW ASAP, I'm guessing it would be a rather easy job for him ... use the gates, skip deepspace ...
The slow tech and no cheap techs really stretches the CC era (BB at 75k! for SPOO with normal con tech and at level  , though Vorlon should be able to grab it easier (or have it already) with cheap con. Anyway, past BBs (or even past CCs) there is nothing left to research that warrants the time lost in research and resources spend there instead of ships ...
That is IMHO the winning strategy for Vorlons (or Shadow should he be strong enough), it is needless to them to stretch it any longer ...
... We're prepping for defense? Expecting an attack? That might as well never come ... Would Vorlons spend 10s of jihad CCs to get their minions more planets, take those planets from us, if it takes each of these planets 10 years to get on speed while they can just as well directly focus all their power on just *one* planet ... the Shadow HW ... ?
I'm starting to feel a too great unbalance here ... slow tech+no cheap makes the Elder techtrading too powerfull, combined with the "one target" for the Elders ... the younger, unsupported races would not get the time to develop ... add to that no gate to support eachother by defending their planets en mass, since afterall all they have got is *numbers*, as in more low tech ships ... but now we are too isolated ...
</end rambling>
That's enough doom thinking for today!
