The only way I've found to get Lanius crew so far is to start with their ship, but if I'm not using a Lanius ship, is there a way for me to get more crew members?

Yes there is at least one random event that results in getting a Lanius crew member, even if you aren't piloting their vessel.

Having searched the database for the "Lanius" keyword, I found that there doesn't seem to be any events that guarantee a Lanius crew memeber; however, I believe that any event that gives a crew member of a random race may yield a Lanius crew member.

This has happened to me once thus far in my playthroughs of FTL:AE

    I suspect it happens with any event that gives randomly raced crew, such as the slaver events. However, I will record them here as they come up in the future.

    Stores in the Abandoned Sector often have Lanius for hire. Haven't seen them in any other sectors though.

    In the abandoned sectors, there is at least one event in which a Lanius craft will approach and, in surprisingly good english, offer you a trade of some description. If you ask to buy their translator, what you'll get is a lanius named "translator".

Once being in the Abandoned Sector (which acts as a Lanius Homeworlds) you can obtain a Lanius crewmember from events that result in giving you a crewmember (random) or hire them from the shops.

It is possible to hire Lanius crew from stores in the Abandoned Sectors. I don't have proof now, but about three playthroughs ago, it happened to me.
