I’ve long thought that the years just after First Contact would be fascinating to watch unfold. All the advanced tech (besides the warp drive) came from the Vulcans/Romulans (Transporter, replicator, etc). We see none of how Star Fleet came to be, how the Federation came to be, now the Vulcans helped humanity progress for YEARS. After First Contact, the next thing we see is a fully developed Enterprise, with all the tech in place and understood. A lot happened between that’s I’d love to see a show/movie explore.
The issue is how difficult it is to invent realistic technology without having to invent actual technology.
The more they explore the area they where formed the more they owe it to the audience to explain how it works, which of course is what all the nerds want to know…
I am a bit tired whimsical science/space magic and tried my own hand at conceptualizing how alien technology could form. It is a lot of fun but it takes pages on pages just to have your logical principles make sense.
