I don't really mind for Predators and Engineers having met before, but if they did I wouldn't be shocked.
Anyhow, I do like the idea of Predators having various home worlds in regards to their clans. In the way that Earth has many countries, I could see a Yautja solar system and each planet/moons serving different clans or purposes.
I feel like the 'established' clans have their own worlds and multiple hunting planets or training planets.
The Yautja in between those worlds with no establishment might be the 'space pirates' as I heard someone use the term on the forums before.
Yautja that just hunt to collect and better themselves, traveling the universe and living lawlessly. Their origin shall remain just as much a mystery as the origin of humanity is.
Any time Preds and Engineers are implied to have met before, I think of that one episode of Star Trek: TNG where they ask Worf about the Klingons' gods.
"Our gods are dead. Klingon warriors slew them millennia ago. They... were more trouble than they were worth."
I don't understand why Engineer-Predator relationship have to be this complex. We know Engineers are control Freaks and like to play god. They see xenomorphs as wild animals and Humans as cheap knockoffs. But a race that doesn't bow to them and worse, actually have tech to challenge them? Engineers can't have that, can they?

There's always the idea that they originated on Earth, but the Engineers moved them to a more suitable planet to make way for humans. Homeworld raises the possibility of "other intelligences" doing that. I really love that comic.
It's just a theory, maybe they never ever evolved in Earth. But if yes, then they had millions of years to adapt to a different enviroment. Maybe one day we got a novel, or a comic about the Preds history, where they come from, how they lived, etc.
