Subject: [DS/FT] Aliens

Just picked up 3 packages of Aliens micromachinges on Ebay. I have a use for
the dropship & APC, still trying to figure out what to do with the others. I'm
thinking the Narcissus would make a great DSII scale Ship's

Capatain's gig, but the Sulaco, Nostromo, and alien ship I have no idea about.
Maybe the 2 human ships will be carriers or assault carriers or freighters.
The alien ship? Not sure. Suggestions?

I think that the Nostromo's scale is vague enough to use it as a DSII ship
-- there aren't a lot of external details, although I know that if it
*was*
in 1/300 scale it would be a hell of a lot bigger than it is.  I intend
to take one of mine, chop it up a bit, and turn it into a crashed ship. Good
objective for a scenario, that.

Grounded alien tender?  Grav-mobile command post?

Since I don't play in the Tuffleyverse, there IS no NSL - but their
ships do
look nice.  Again,  I'm looking at one of them as an assault carrier - a

carrier sized craft with fewer fighters but a small assault force -
usually
the spec ops or first wave/pathfinders who would go in and secure a LZ
for the rest of an invasion force. Sort of a space version of the Essex, think
MEU/SOC.

Or in my case, a captain's gig -- already thought of that.

Or just an alien ship in general.
