They don't have infinite starships because they don't have infinite energy and raw materials. What they do have is effectively infinite labor, since they can trivially make just about anything (with a few exceptions, like latinum) out of whatever resources are on hand.

I didn't see the episode you mentioned, so I can't comment on it.

If you're a trekkie I guarantee you'll enjoy it. A fantastic episode.
