Gotta have ftl or even traveling the solar system would way too long.

Alien species are interesting, but you could easily write a story with only humans. If you were to have an alien species, I'd implore you not to have them fit any stereotypes. Make then unique. Don't make then too OP. OP aliens is way overdone.

Maybe the aliens are several thousand or hundred thousand years ahead of humanity, but are also just as culturally advanced. They haven't lost their morality to some AI, instead having to follow an incredibly strict code of conduct. They're not evil by any means, but their intentions, while entirely moral by their culture and done with an effort not to offend humanity, end up angering the humans greatly and causing insurgencies to pop up.

Maybe the aliens are like a first world nation in a third world dictatorship. While their intentions are good, and they make great effort to prevent civilian casualties, the locals are furious at their presence and want their old leader back.

Alien patrols get ambushed by humans with Hydrogen-Propeled Fusion rockets, and plasma fire starts cracking off as the aliens try to figure out who is a combatant.
 
I have no interest in making generic rubber forehead humans.

As for the lack of FTL, I already did make a world for an earlier project that lacked it. Several great dynasties ruled the stars with an iron fist. They would spend time in cold sleep for several decades, wake up for a year or two, sleep again, wake up, continue. As a result, they would be able to enact plans that would take centuries to come to fruition. Meanwhile, the commonfolk lived as pawns for the families that had outsmarted time. Interstellar travel still took decades, but that was nothing to the nearly immortal overlords.

You can make an interesting setting without FTL travel, you just have to think outside the box.

That's true, I didn't take cryosleep into consideration.
 
update: six year old cousin pulled his pants down, started to pee on a tree, made eye contact with my brother's girlfriend and mouthed "I love you"
 
there are more possible combinations of fun and beatable Mario Maker levels than there are atoms in the universe.
 
I don't know
So I was looking at antivaxer post when I came across this

"Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lycine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Argenine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, and Serine. Trace amounts of Boron and Cobalt

You wouldn't have this normally why have it in a vaccine


No wait sorry this is the ingredients of an apple"
