Are runaway planetoids always spaceshark eggs

Does something good ever come from "runaway planetoid" anomalies or are they just designed just to kill off alien survay ships and allow us to claim all the other anomalies in the universe

No, they are all eggs. They don't usually kill alien surveyors, either, as the sharks sit and do nothing for a turn, and have only one movement point. Most alien surveyors are killed off during wars, including giving the ships away to warring allies.

All asteroids give free ships, weak ones, and all space junk upgrades your surveyor. All unexplained have a chance to give research progress, but many are duds. Energy anomalies cover everything else.

Moral of the story: don't pop planetoids in the early game unless you are deep in alien space.
