It's fairly obvious that politics are naturally tilted against ultores. There is a fair amount of resentment towards them (some of it justified) and being the most solid military operation will do that. The problem is that the consequences for them are severe as the universe is small so it's easy for alliances to come together and obliterate them and move on. If this happens too much, ult playing seriously is difficult to justify on a continuous basis. If alliances are willing to sacrifice their chances to stop them in favour of someone else then winning is a virtual impossibility.
