Because up until now, they haven't been out to destroy
everyone, that's not the point...you can't sow chaos if there's no one
around in which to sow that chaos. And they may have some ideas on how
B5 could be turned to their advantage....

Bear in mind that the White Stars are partially based on Vorlon
technology, which is similar in strength to the Shadows. That helps a
lot. Also, other ships can have an influence in sufficient numbers.
Even a lion can be brought down by a sufficient number of hyenas. The
idea that higher technology always equals victory didn't help Custer.

"These new EA ships with Shadow tech...Are they susceptible to
telepaths like the shadow vessels were?"

Negative...they don't have living beings as CPUs, they're still
working at adapting the basic tech, the other stuff is still a bit
advanced.

"By the way, the EA adaptation to the shadow tech is accurately done.
Keep the basic Omega design and modify where needed."

Got it in one.

"Do John Copeland and Bruce B have an interest in airship history?"

Please...these guys are the biggest airplane buffs I've ever
met.
