What am I doing wrong - or is this normal

I'm playing on easy mode and as near as I can tell I'm miles ahead of all the other factions. I have all of North America, all of Europe (and I mean ALL of it) and Russia. I have something like 450 CP and they are strong nations. My research is double what any other faction has.
The issue is it is nearly 2041 and still nothing happening. Maybe I didn't take good research route but I still haven't unlocked Colony Core or Ring Core and I just finally unlocked a drive that could get enough Delta-V to travel to other planets.
I'm currently researching "Wormholes" as a campaign objective. I assume at some point I will take the fight to aliens. Maybe if I built a ton of ships with the new drive I unlocked I could fight them - as I probably have enough decent weapons and I unlocked "Ships of the Line" a long time ago.
BUT...I read that if you start generating too much MC the aliens should start attacking you (at least on normal difficulty)
My questions are:
1 is it normal to be this late in game before the action starts?
2 at what point do you start building defense and attack fleets and stop worrying about mc cap? I have used about 130 out of 240 mc - which doesn't seem like a lot of room to build an attack fleet anyhow
