> Or a nation that chance to take resources and technology. The Valkians already know where it is; they'll come back later and sift through the scraps for tech. Especially shield technology, and point defense. And fighters and bombers. Those stealth stuffs would help in a fight.

Any space stealth equipment that would actually keep you hidden would be extremely high maintanance. Making space stealth fighter/bombers is pretty much a waste of money. What matters more is masking your energy signature and avoiding enemy scanners; The first hard to do in a fight and the latter migbt be thrown off by any minor occurance in battle. Plus, you'd have to defend against all known detection methods, and mass produce this. As a result, I'd reserve such technology for dedicated stealth craft, but hey, if people want to spend crap tonnes for low effectiveness, that's fine by me.

And a lot of it probably runs on magic and the Terrans probably arent all that advanced regardless. I wouldnt mind acquiring some technology myself, and the Valkians could certainly do with the boost :)
