Why do we want to be friends with the aliens?

I keep reading threads about how we should be careful when approaching any potential alien encounters. About how we should nurture our relationships with them and we can all be friends. Where's the fun in that? I've a combat kitted 44ly DBX ready to go and I'm going to shoot on sight any pesky alien creatures - it's the human way. After all, we've all been crying out for more danger haven't we? From tomorrow, I'm off with my futuristic pickaxe and torch and I'm going to hunt these pesky critters down, shoot first, and not even bother to think later. I don't want a relationship with an alien that involves travelling halfway across the galaxy to trade some coffee for green algae. I want to fight them! It's survival of the fittest and I'm going to start a WAR! Mwha hahahahaha!

NO! Make peace, not war. We could trade technology. Maybe give us access to their ships, and modules. Would give us a great opportunity to expand our choices and way off life. Maybe let me join them in their adventures. Take me aliens! Take me!!!!

You know those movies where humanity is nearly wiped out because of a small group of xenophobes with itchy trigger fingers and we're always like "WHY DID THEY ATTACK?!"
.. Well, you da xenophobe with the itchy trigger finger. :D

Think.

You could be brought to the planetary equivalent of the Castle Anthrax.

Mmmm. Females with unparalleled beauty and...great tracts of land.

They could be willing to exchange erm comforts for polonium.

Ya see, I told you all there was STILL a use for it! :D

When we meet the aliens, beware! It might go something like this:

Commander typical to Elyk.McG: Fear my Cobra with no hard points!
Aliens: Dude, you're just playing a computer game. We have your IP and we're about to land in your back garden IRL. FEAR US!!!

I have absolutely no problem with peace between humanity and whatever it is out in the black. If we can all coexist and hold hands with foreclaws and sing kumbaya fine by me. There's always going to be some civil war that needs fighting or some pirate that needs killing. But if it does come to war, then we have to find whatever world their civilization was birthed from and deliver enough ordinance to crack the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] in two. Then per Federation tradition, install a strip mall on the ruins and give the surviving aliens casinos to run.

More places to go in the future because Alien worlds will not be off limits

More commodities and other ways of enhancing what we already have, such as an alien engineer enhancing our ships and modules with alien tech.

The possibility to fly actual alien ships in the future of the game, which would be really cool.

So, peace and sharing is way cooler than war because that way the only thing we get will be bragging rights that we kicked some alien butts. Totally uncool.

This assumes they want peace however. They might in fact be planning an invasion. Scanning our ships for intel for example.

Peace, because we can learn a lot from non-human spacefaring species. Who else do they know about that are in the Milky Way or neighbouring galaxies? Any good technologies that can be exchanged? Trade between humans and nonhumans?

We came in peace.

Goodies? I will get them from what's left from their ships.
Have any of you seen stargate? They tried peace way and it screwed them up ALL THE TIME.
