    Call that one a win.

    Take risk of signing up for a 3000 year hyper-sleep trip.

    Reap the rewards of being a pioneer without having to do any of the hard work.

      join intergalactic ship pilgrimage hoping to be a pioneer to a new world

      Land to late stage capitalism and the same oppression you were just trying to escape.

      Id shoot myself immediately.

        That’s why you outfit your ship with mass drivers.

        Any parasites roaming around on your paradise? A couple hundred rocks at 2% light speed will clear that up.

        A mission in starfield (shit game but honestly decent writing at the very least) included just this. A generation ship finally arrived at its destination long after FTL travel was invented to find that the intended colony planet was already a fancy resort planet. You have to broker some kind of agreement between the parties.

          It’s a couple of Star Trek episodes too. Similar idea is how they found Khan.
