why would intergalatic species who have mastered warp speed, energy, and infinite replicator resources be in a constant state of war with each other?

Because it makes for better TV

for resources and pussy i guess

Territorial disputes and authority over specific systems. Even in Trek they had finite resources of things like dilithum crystals. And I think the biggest one is if you're a "peaceful expansionist" society that extinguishes or weakens individual cultural identity as it extends its hegemony you could find some places that reject the notion of the federation at every level. If the federation is reddit, Klingon and Romulan empires are competing chans who respect individual segregation. It's why you don't see Gorn crew members on Klingon ships despite the Gorn homeworld being nearly inside the Klingon empire.

War never changes

does anyone but the federation actually have replicator technology tho?

because god appreciates irony.

Try post a bigger asspull than replicator technology in sci fi, try it

Different races are nothing more than a threat to your race. The only solution, in all cases, is extermination.

FTL travel

Expansion. Growth is the only constant for every successful life form. Lack thereof results in oblivion.

The borgs are just trying to improve quality of life for all species, except kazon.

Universal translator.

no, not really, that's a given in any scifi

Still an asspull since it's absolutely impossible.

we already have that

why because einstein said it?

I'm glad not everyone is as retarded as you seem to be. If everyone thought "what we know now is all there is to know" we would still be living in fucking caves.

No we don't.

FTL travel is time travel. Time travel is forbidden by causality. You might as well be arguing that you can walk into traffic and the cars will phase through you because "muh quantum mechanics lol they said airplanes weren't real lol muh reddit-tier sci-fi arguments"

I'm glad you, a random faggot neet on an imageboard lends your amazing brain to determine whether or not something humanity's greatest scientists haven't figured out is possible. I guess we can all stop looking.

>FTL travel is time travel. Time travel is forbidden by causality.
literally kys

Get a load of these faggots. Cry more that star trek isn't real why don't ya?

for 200 dollars what is the big bang

Scientists, namely physicists, discovered it couldn't be done decades ago. Sci fi needs it to function though, so authors just don't care. FTL is just an anachronism, like dinosaurs that drag their tails or completely lack feathers.

Yes yes, I know crazy kooks and rhetorical thought experiments show otherwise, but we also have those for perpetual motion and literally any kook nonsense you could ever want. You might as well say Bigfoot discovered FTL in Atlantis.

this, if Hollywood needs something is movies in wich they spend 4000 years in a cryogenic chamber to move from one planet to the next

Even cryogenics is bullshit, because it's extremely difficult to keep things cold in an almost completely insulated spaceship in the vacuum of space. The engines, computers, etc all make heat. God help you if you try to actively cool the pods since that just makes even more heat.

>infinite resources and a utopic society cause birth rates on already overpopulated worlds to skyrocket
>this drives the need for all these different people to expand to other worlds that can support life
>only so many planets capable of supporting life


Gee, I wonder.

Non-Earth planet has oxygen
