This is an argument for the sleeper ship. You get there and enjoy an already set up and running civilization in the prime of your life.

They didn't dock and help you out? Rude.
Who launches a space ship only half full?
No room to take a second crew/passengers+their supplies (food/water) onboard, can't exactly tow a space ship either (esp FTL)... So, help how?
It's still likely the only way you could have made the trip.
Outriders. Absolutely underrated game
No, it's just not very good.
It so could have been, though. A lot of wasted promise.
It's a neat idea from a sci-fi perspective, but when you think about the most efficient forms of space propulsion (slingshots around large gravity wells) I'm not sure how we'll manage to do much better.
Either you catch up to someone before they leave the solar system or you're just going to shorten the time needed to reach their terminal velocity.
There's a diminishing return as you approach the speed of light, and FTL travel isn't exactly a trivial hurdle.

You guys think KFC is still open?
If FTL is impossible (as is likely the case) there is a point where a better ship can't catch up, even if its going like 0.9c.
