Not to mention the bugs in the game when you have already beaten it and know wqhat to do. When you do the game to fast it does not allow you to do something. (A certain missle!)

Joyous Lifting, who has a better memory than I recalls that the Shaggy Ones were described as being... worried. They were always hurrying from place to place, seeking knowledge as though they were in a desperate search for some important secret some answer to a question that they never shared with us. Sullen Plummet remembers that the last time the Shaggy Ones visited our world they came aboard a great circular starship, one even larger than your own.They had discovered their Answer and were leaving to go somewhere and they didn't tell us exactly where `somewhere' was.
You forgot to add this nice little paragraph. The circular start ship is rather interesting because some aliens ALSO have circular starships. Oh, and in case you people didn't catch from some early posts I saw, Orz fingers are the fingers of whatever stretching over four dimensional space since a four dimensional being interacting with three dimensions can make things pop out of nowhere.
And before I go back to lurking in place that-shall-not-be-named for several more centuries, I highly doubt either the Arilou or Orz are better then the other. The Arilou are manipulate the humans along, and as they said they really don't like fighting. Of course Orz does, so how do we fight our archenemy without doing it ourselves? Make a new species for it. As the Arilou said, many different species have interdimensional 'families', so interdimensional conflict would probably occur quite often. Would make a nice subject for a game, after the Ur-Quan surrendered, everyone starts bickering over territory as the Orz and Arilou begin propaganda campaign as they gear up for a war on the Truespace/Hyperspace front. And of course, this would attract attention from those other terrible entities that haven't found our realm yet. Could be why the Precursors left, they had to quickly escape a war of great proportions before they were drug in by the beings that had decided to make the Milky Way their battleground.
Plus, it makes the Spathi technically RIGHT. That's always fun for irony  .

Whoa.... ! - This thread got ressurected! But ot answer your question... Yes, I left out that part because I saw no point in putting it in. What your saying is that the Precursors came back, (messed around with the androsynth) and then left again.
There is one huge problem - The ur-quan and other races were watching the humans for a long time. They would have noticed the prcursors because the androsynth were no that long ago...

That was fast, and I meant that was why the Precursors left the first time. You know, 200,000 years ago, or whatever the date was.
And since I don't want to waste space random thought: Perhaps the Syreen was a branched experiment? They have powerful psychic abilities, humans don't really have much at all. The Arilou had two groups, both going for a different approach to their problem. The Syreen failed, perhaps because they grew to lazy, or their psychic abilities were making them harder to influence. Eventually, the Arilou decided to focus on guiding the humans.
My memory is a bit failed on the timeline, but this might have to do with the sudden burst of activity by the Arilou in the 1940s era. I'm not sure when the Syreen got kicked off by the Mycon, but it might have been relatively soon after the burst of Earth activity and/or when the Syreen were abandoned.

You know how the syreen and the humans look very very similar. It is my belief that the ariloo are responsible for this. A long time ago they abducted a handfull of humans, and guided the two groups in different ways, to see how we would be influenced.

I don't remember any abductions or human experiments in BS:G, but it was a fun TV series back in the 70's and 80's. Please don't watch the ones in the 80's (when they finally found the tribe that went to a planet called Earth); that was some of the worst TV ever made.
Of note: the Ur-Quan Dreadnaught is likely derived from the shape of a Battlestar, and the Syreen's rag-tag space fleet might be a story element borrowed from BS:G.
Recently, the SCI-FI channel rewrote BS:G as a mini-series, much to the chagrin of the rabid fans (who were expecting a faithful remake since the original director was involved).

Even farther off topic: I have often thought that the ilwrath avenger was taken form the designs of clingon (spelled wrong I think) from Star Trek.

The podship seems original to me. A fungus ship for a fungus race. Besides, where else is there a race of sentient fungus.
