The careful integration of the Narcissus into the scenes on Romulus station is not just fan service; it’s a deliberate narrative choice.
Macarin emphasized the balance between hiding Easter eggs and ensuring they don’t distract from the main story.
This approach suggests that the Narcissus isn’t just a background detail but a hint at deeper connections to the original films. If the shuttle is present, it raises the possibility that Ellen Ripley is still aboard, possibly in hibernation, just as she was at the end of the first Alien.
In the end of the film, the ship can be spied exiting the station during its destruction - implying Ripley continued to float in space.
If Ripley is indeed on Romulus, her presence fits within the established timeline, potentially linking directly to her discovery in Aliens after drifting for 57 years - suffice to say, future films in the franchise may explain this - this writer however would personally prefer a sequel to the events of Alien: Covenant that explore what the killer android David did to the crew and humans present on the Covenant ship.
