The Return of the King

The TITLE may be a little Misleading....

The aim of this Topic is to look in Part at the Return of the Engineers, as Ridley Scott had said that they WILL return to Planet 4 and Discover the Carnage.

But this TOPIC i want to Mainly Focus on the Technology of any Returning Beings to Planet 4.

Particularly in Regards to their SHIPS.. but we could Extend that to what the Inside of these Ships are like and any Technology that the Occupants may or may not Possess.

The Franchise (well Prequels) introduced us to THREE ships that the Engineers use.  We maybe have to accept the Derelict is a Variation of a Juggernaught.

1) The Seeding/Pebble Ship

2) The Juggernaught Cargo Ship

3) The Scorpionaught Docking Ship

What we was shown in Prometheus was that the Juggernauts are Housed in Hangers with Circular Openings, we see such a Hanger in Alien Covenant.

The Scorpion Tail Shaped Craft seemed to be trying to DOCK with the Juggernaught, what is Interesting is it could seem the Pebble Ship could maybe DOCK into the same Scorpion Ship, but we cant say for sure if this would be the case.

A Deleted Scene from Alien Covenant and Concept work show the Hanger can House more than ONE of the Juggernaught Ships.

Do we Assume that these are the ONLY Kinds of Ship the Engineers have?

Do we Assume the Pebble Ships are used to SEED the Worlds the Engineers Visit, and the Juggernauts just Bring Death?  And the Scorpion-Tail Ship act as a Docking/Border Control?

We can Discus this, but i would also want to look into the Potential for the Engineers having OTHER types of Ship and maybe could we had seen a DIFFERENT kind of Ship on the Return of some of the Engineers back to Planet 4 (or indeed what they have out their in the Galaxy).

The Description of the Seeding Ship in some Drafts, and some Concepts was a Juggernaught Ship..... and NOT the Pebble, maybe the Juggernauts are a Evolution/Newer Seeding Ships.

Do they still USE the Pebble Ships?  Where could they be Located/Stored if so?

Do they have other Types of Ships for other Duties such as Transport the Engineers, especially High Ranking Members, or would the Pebble Ship perform this Task?

If they have a Waring/Military Contingent then are they Limited to the Juggernaught?   This Ships only real Military Function would be to DROP a Cargo and so the Juggernaught Type Ships could be used to TRANSPORT all sorts.

There had been a Number of Concepts made for Prometheus, the Topic Banner shows one such Design that was being Considered for the Seeding Ship, would this Design be Interesting to see in some other Capacity?

The Engineers are indicated as a Ancient Race, who are Millions of Years Old, at least.....

Is their Space Technology Limited to THREE kinds of Ship? We know they must VISIT many Worlds and Return to Planet 4, surely there Entire Stockpile of Ships is NOT limited to being Stored on LV-223 around 5 Temple Complexes, and surely also NOT just limited to ONE single Hanger on Planet 4.

I think its interesting to WONDER about how many Worlds have Hangers etc for their Ships, and how many KINDS of Ships they have and their Purposes.

Do some of them become Obsolete and if so where do they go, is their a Engineer Ship Scrapyard?
