Just finished a quick 50-turn runthrough of the Gold mod. Evrything worked out okay, except that I apparently didn't give the technomages "B5 standard" racial charactoristics, since they didn't have any facilities at all. Worse, they started 3 systems from the Shadows.

They did NOT have a nice day!
Neither the Shadows nor the Vorlons ever built a colony ship, though both had the design. Is this deliberate? And how can I tell?
