That during the centuries long journey, humanity could have progressed much faster in space travel tech and arrived at the system decades before the original colonists.
The original settlers would have no idea what kind of fate is awaiting them when they arrived and saw that the planet they were suppose to colonise already have a thriving colony by the future generations. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.

That was the original backstory of Vance Astro of the first "Guardian's of the Galaxy" he was send to Alpha Centauri in suspended animation. By the time he got there (1000 years) faster than light travel was invented and humanity had already colonised it, and most of the rest of the galaxy.

A good model would be to pre-plan for upgrades being provided to the colony should the means become available to do so. Either way, the colony knows the stakes going in.

I don't trust humanity to remember that over a few hundreds years lol --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.

I don't think this is that scary.
The only way for this to be possible is for technology to allow humans to hibernate for centuries (or something like cryogenic freezing). If this happened then none of those travelers would realize how long it had been. --- I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It happened in W. Micheal Gear's "Donovan" series.
The whole series has problems with the hyperdrive fucking up. So the first group that was going hit the drive and instantaneously (to them) arrived but it took them like 70 years real time. So they were supposed to be coming to a pristine planet and instead two generations of people were living on it. The environmentalist in said transport was pissed. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think this is that scary. The game I'm playing now has lore about generation ships which is meant to sustain human life without cryogenics for centuries over the trip. Their descendents are the ones who will do the colonizing when it arrives. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.

Yeah that's one of the major things to consider in interstellar travel, soon enough so that there's no more than necessary risk of cataclysm on Earth but advanced enough so that waiting some time won't lmfaoyou'retooslow the travel

Space catgirls will be resentful if we try to colonize them.
