> probably not a sustainable option In fact it's probably the most sustainable option. The conquistadors during the age of discovery claimed to come in peace more than once. Until humanity has the power to destroy stars and FTL technologies I would stay very very quiet. We are very much hunter gatherers to any space faring civilization... Until you are on equal technological footing in the ability to resist invasion or conquest there is no point in attracting potential conquerors. Being able to destroy stars is very similar to having nukes in that stars are very difficult to protect and their destruction devastating to all planets which circle around them.
