sounds like my seeding/harvesting idea.. (see my thread 'interstellar travel & evolution')
the jockeys seed planets like we plant crops, (time dilation speeds up growth when they return from their POV), then harvest the biomass, but not just eating it as food, but 'breeding into it' hence the Alien style "take-over"/"absorb" DNA.. so they don't just copy themselves, they adapt and evolve absorbing fresh adaptations on their seeded planets.
A-sexual - faster or more optimized eugenics perhaps. the extreme scifi 'takeover DNA' is like becoming a 'super-male' (impregnate anything). these ideas fit with the official comments "what we must ultimately become"
