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.

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.
