What do you suggest?

It's set in the future, using tech way beyond our own, dealing with ETs from different parts of the galaxy, som hostile, some not so much.

If you're lookng for some off-the-wall concept that no one's thought of, I can't help you.

Using your logic, as I understand it, then why bother making Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, or any other SF series?

But perhaps, I missed your point.
