I'm guessing if there's more ships, there's more black liquid. If the small facehugger eggs were laid by Shaw, where is the black liquid cargo of the ship? Where is David? Who woke the Jockey? How was he infected?

That's the piece we're missing. The eggs in Alien spawn puny little face-huggers. Great to infect humans, but an Engineer? No way one of those things created a xeno that could rip through an Engineer and it's suit.

So we're left with a double question - if the small eggs in Alien are assumed to be a product of a mutated Shaw's reproductive system,

-What infected all those dead giant Engineers 2000 years ago? Did they kill off all their women to stop the outbreak, and that's why they're all males? Again, each queen in the franchise came out of a human female. Engineers share our DNA, shouldn't they have males and females? We can assume there's no women around because the Engineers are soldiers on a military base, but what if that's not why? Maybe they keep women off the base to avoid outbreak and creating a queen?

-What infected the dead Space Jockey, as again it is much to large to have been infected by those face-sucker eggs onboard his ship?

That's our next movie. How we get from her leaving in the ship to giant aliens hatching out of Engineers, and little aliens hatching out of humans. How the Engineers were infected. Where their females are. Where the black fluid in the cargo of the crashed Engineer ship from Alien 1 went, and what other kind of monstrous shit it may have created. Remember, at this point we're 30 years from Alien.

I don't think the next movie is going to have much, at all, to do with the crashed ship or what happens to Shaw. For that to work we need a whole crew full of new victims, and there were no human corpses around when Ripley finds the Derelict. Instead, I'm betting we'll find David, or Shaw's log entry, or similar which will fill in the gaps regarding the mutated smaller facehugger cargo and what happened to the derelict ship. Maybe a crew further in the future is sent by Weyland Industries to complete Shaw's mission to find the Engineers? After all, she left a distress signal saying she was headed there - once we realize Weyland is aware of the planet we can assume that within the next 30 years they'd have picked up that distress warning she left there. So we'll get a new crew, on a new mission, that encounter the big bad Engineer-Xenos, and perhaps in the process find David or logs filling in the gaps of what happened to Shaw.

In addition we've got earthly questions: Weyland KNEW about this moon, they sent the mission. Weyland still exists into the future. So in the 30 years between Prometheus and Alien, I'm sure at some point they send out a mission to find what happened to their mission to that moon. It can also be assumed that mission also never returned, or there would be a lot more answers by the time Ripley's crew encountered the Derelict. That mission, I'm speculating, will be the next movie. NOT Shaw.
