'Aliens' reference?

[Nemo Nemotoad]

Landed in NE Africa (roughly Egypt) on off-chance of finding landmarks without first getting the History of Egypt book (c'mon, why shouldn't I?), and haven't found any human landmarks but did find what appears to be a Giger-esque eggpit, masquerading as a mountain cave, filled with bony remains with too many ridges, squelchy growths and what appear to be Alien eggs nesting amid them. When I say 'masquerading', I mean that it's a cave but it doesn't have the usual fade-to-black entrance interface -you can actually peer inside this one from standing outside and then enter like any doorless outdoor structure. ...well I thought it was of interest but then I went to post it and had second thoughts.

Those alien egg-pod things are found in quite a few places throughout the game, including some story mission areas.

There's a full-blown "Aliens" easter-egg/reference in space that you can discover. It's an abandoned ship and when you explore it you find data pads detailing the last days of the crew, and at the end you encounter the alien itself, in an area with more of those egg pods.

Obviously at least some of the development staff were quite big Aliens fans.

I found some Aliens looking eggs too. I found some dead scientists and the eggs in a basket. Against all of my instincts and advice that I have gotten from scifi horror movies, I took the eggs with me. I could not find a use for them so I sold them to the Trade Authority.

It either made an awesome omelet or Aliens hatched after I sold it. I don't know. I went to a NG+. I hope that universe is still ok lol.

i feel like the crew only died because they was to stupid to just kill it ...
then again from a player point of view most things in games could have prevented

This could be a reference to Dead Space as well. https://kotaku.com/starfield-easter-egg-colander-walkthrough-dead-space-al-1850831737

Starfield seems to have a lot of little things like this in it. Like the quest that takes you to the Schrodinger system.

Yep, there's a lot of little non-quest-related stuff to find.
I'm at almost 400 hours of play and I Still stumble on things like that which I had not encountered before. For how small the area of space we can explore looks on the starmap, there's a whole lot of 'stuff' packed in there.

I'm sad that there isn't a Demolition Man reference. I love the joke about seashells in the toilet. At least Cyberpunk went there.
