Generally alien abduction does not go well. The word "probe" tends to be associated with it, which is undesirable as either a noun or a verb. However, there is one memorable exception when you want to be abducted by the mothership: Galaga. You let the Boss come down and hit the tractor beam (beeeeeeeeewwwwwww), and then later when you kill the Boss, you get TWO fighters at your command, which is really useful in the Challenging Stages. Instead of pew pew pew, it's pewpew pewpew pewpew.
I digress...
Let's be honest, as much as we hope the aliens will let the Federation run the quadrant, there's also the chance that they'll want to obliterate the human race. Or enslave us in work camps like the Cardassians did to the poor Bajorans. Gosh, that would be horrible, wouldn't it? We need to prepare our wee geeks to smack the crap out of aliens, just like our beloved Kirk did. (Teaching them to "appreciate" alien women like Kirk did is optional.)
Or rather, let's open our friendly skies to the alien tourist. Let's take the chance, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.
