To put it into perspective - I literally recorded the video, uploaded the video, wrote this post and my fleet are still traveling to the other system while vesari are not only reached minutes ago but already traveled 6 planets deep. 

If you already have ability of infinite phase gates and insanely fast travel speed, how is it balanced for anyone else? They should have lowest HP ships - instead they get ridiculous armor. 

The problem now comes with the new factional victory - where they can easily run away at ridiculous speeds.

The "Downside" of being having weak planet defense is very little of a downside when you can easily teleport an entire fleet there in seconds.  While it would take any other faction minutes to go to defense and vesari just teleport to other side of the universe causing you to waste your travel time. 

More importantly TEC factional victory is countered with planet shields AND the ability to scuttle the planet. If TEC must destroy 5 enemy planets. Meaning you can literally counter victory buy just scuttling the planet before planet breaker hits.
