I love the idea of technologically superior aliens showing up and kicking themselves for never having discovered rope. Here, have the ftl drive, we need this rope. Maybe their native habitat didn't have fibrous plants.



Maybe some are like spiders, and they've always used solvents and glues in order to join or secure the lengths.
