Children of Earth is sort of like that. Amazing book.
Comment on The problem with sleeper ships

Worse: your sleeper ship arrives at what should be a pristine planet. But FTL capable ships beat you there. And they ruined the planet over a few thousand years. And now they’re sending out refugee ships of their own.

Basically the premise of Mass Effect Andromeda

Not really, the Angara, Kett, and Remnant were already there. You’re just showing up in the middle of their dispute. The comment was implying your own people developed FTL and fucked everything up, not that you landed in a shit show

Yeah, was gonna say. It’s more like Outriders than anything.

There’s a side quest chain in Starfield that has a generation ship arriving at a planet they claimed centuries ago only to find it’s a corporate owned resort planet.

Maybe that’s what happened to us already.
