  When the first colonists arrive the planet will already be inhabited by humans since 100 years after they left we invent the warp drive. And trying to intercept them mid travel and board them on to the new ship is impossible since they travel near the speed of light in the darkness of space.

    I’m pretty sure that’s a sidequest in Starfield. The ECS Constant colony ship set off in 2140 to colonise a planet, arriving in 2330 at the planet Paradiso, which had become a luxury resort planet for the rich, because shortly after the ship left, humanity invented the grav drive and every ship just zoomed right past them.

        Whenever a game gives me a questline like “a mysterious ship is hailing you. You have never seen anything like it, you get the feeling that it is very important” I blast the fucking thing out of the sky.

        Don’t tell me what I think is important, dev.

  They’ve already sent galactic missiles to wipe us out before we can ruin them.

    Any civilization capable of sending missiles across the galaxy should be more than capable of simply sending a tight beam of gamma radiation to sterilize the planet. No need for earth shattering explosions. Just a flood of radiation engulfing the planet for a minute or two and everything not buried a mile underground will be dead.

    And that’s if they don’t bother to just blow up the sun.

      I like the just speed up a small, really heavy object to a very high speed approach of The Three Body Problem books.
