True, but I like my futuristic alien-filled universe to have more interactions between them than just humans talking about them. I admit that realistically, everyone would keep "to their own" for simplicity's sake.
I forced the issue in my SF universe by only having one species with true FTL. They happily hold onto their monopoly with fair rates of travel. But this naturally leads to multi-species ships for interesting gaming, in my opinion at least.
