It's like new artist can't get past the originals and expand the universe. We always go back to Hadley's Hope, the OG jockey ship, the Sulaco, etc.
I mean the milky way is 100,000 light years across. There is more to see and encounter than just the places we've constantly been to before.
This would have been my second choice too... in this situation, I'd be keen to ensure *not* to include any engineer/Jockey references either... just the discovery of eggs in a new location.. the idea being to send a message that this is how the alien spreads...the derelict was just a passing ship that was infected, history repeated with the Nostromo... the xeno leaps through time and across space in this way...infects a ship, is transported, reproduces, then lays in wait for the next victim, and repeat. This leaves opportunity for them to be lurking everywhere, in locations as old as time itself, retaining some of the mystery..
