The real solution to this is simple. You're a ship full of colonists dreaming of settling a new world, right? So go settle a new world! Ask the citizens of your target world for an FTL-capable spaceship, climb aboard, pick a new target further afield, and head off into the wild blue yonder. It seems that's the least they could do in such a situation.

Except the new FTL-capable ships are the result of 3000 years of advancement. You wouldn't even be able to figure out how to use the bathroom, let alone do the navigation and piloting to reach a new planet.

Imagine we had some Egyptians from -1000 BC who suddenly arrived unexpectedly in the modern world. They think Ra, Anubis and Horus control their fates. Iron is the most advanced technology they know of, but you're proposing we make them astronauts?

Honestly, that would be fucking hilarious to watch.
