In the book, a lot of people just came and watched, even after the first bunch got killed. It seemed realistic to me.

If I were the type to make shipsets, making a set based on the humans of WOTW would be neat...the human race, recovering from the Martian invasion, frantically learns their tech and adopts it, then sets off in a very paranoid way to explore the universe and take revenge on the martians...they'd have martian looking ships and troops, have biological tech (derived from backwards-engineering all the martian stuff and combining it with the obvious desire of the humans to have engineered bio-weapons since they worked so well), and they'd be paranoid fanatical humans with a bloodlust for aliens...that would be a neat race to play...if I were a shipset maker, it's one I would make (hint, hint...)

It might just be me, but every time I see a movie where the Human race is nearly defeated by aliens but in the end defeats them (such as ID4 or WotW), instead of thinking "Oh no, how will the human race recover" I always think "Now we can analyze the alien technology and then start expanding into space"

I would want to watch when something unusual and dangerous occurs, especially if it's aliens attacking. I wouldn't want to be too close to it, but watch from a distance. It probably won't be safe even from a distance if it's close enough to see the destruction, but I'd be very curious.

The only problem with that is you know we would only gain one level in each form of technology more advanced than our own.

No, we'd gain one level per ship that we analyzed, more in techs that provide multiple components that the aliens use. We'd also get to skip all those expensive theoretical techs they had to research .

Yeah, but given that we don't even have a colony on another empire, are you sure our culture isn't neutral?

I hope we're not neutral. We'll have to wait for a space anomaly to randomly teleport our ships to another system. It's OK, we're probably not neutral because we still have another 395 years before we have to start expanding into space, so there's plenty of time.

Well, could also be neutral happiness type.

I mean, pretty much anything will get some segment of the population angry.
