Re: Philosophical scenario - A chance meeting
I would stall for time send an omnidirectional communique to Earth warning them to build BIG ACTUAL warships (dedicated to killing and the general blowing up of things) I would then try for peace with the Alien.....if we couldn't get anywhere with that I would try to continue exploring.....if he followed i'd nuke him......if he boards me and I can't win I nuke us both.....if I am losing and he is winning I go for the RAMMING SPEED!
This is the best option as if he continues to follow AFTER negotions failed he ain't likely comin' to give all the good little boys and girls presents.
It ALSO gives Earth time to build at least a FEW FTL heavy warships to defend our solar system/attack theirs.
OR you could do it the way my Icarans did.....nuke the nearest alien colony.....then the nearest alien ship....then return home victorious heroes and have your nation begin building a dedicated warfleet.
