Re: Philosophical scenario - A chance meeting
According To SEIV Rules Of Engagement, you always attack on first encounters!
It doesn’t really matter what do. If you plan to trade then at some point your races will give away the locations of their home systems. Your just passing the problem to the next contact.
The best solution I can think of is to behave as if your race has many worlds colonized. Offer to the other race to relay diplomatic messages and setup trade between one of your races systems, if the other captains agrees to do the same.

On a related note, I have a colony ship in Carrier Battles Deluxe #1, which has +2% experience 
Now that some ships with guns have shown up to guard the warppoint, it will be colonizing something soon.

Re: Philosophical scenario - A chance meeting
Baron Munchausen gets his choice of cookie, ice cream or cheese, for guessing the method they used in the book.
Hunpecked gets his choice of cookie, ice cream or cheese, for his...Perspective on it.
That is all. Please continue.

What if the other race had set a self-destruct timer, or crippled their ship in some other way?

Re: Philosophical scenario - A chance meeting
That was what Hunpecked pointed out.
I don't think there is a safe option here - No matter what you do, you're going to have to roll the dice sometime.
