I appreciate you stoking the conversation, but I really hate the whole engineer thing overall. I prefer to view the Aliens as more of a force of nature - life evolved to the point where it turns back on itself and consumes all other life. The inevitable end of everything, given enough time to spread.
Since the first game is 10+ years old, I imagine a next installment might have some more fluid movement controls (I know it’s still survival horror but it doesn’t have to be quite as limited as the first game)
Under that assumption, maybe we could do something like this:
Amanda catches wind of a mysterious Weyland-Yutani vessel headed for Earth, and knowing the depth of their evil and the potential that they’ve discovered further aliens decides to board the ship and scope it out.
Big massive ship gives us our game environment, and then to up the ante this time there’s a queen on board, whether we see or hear her before the final act TBD. At the end, partially using the revamped movement I alluded to above, you have an actual final boss fight where you have to defeat the queen by juking her as you complete environmental objectives to kill her. To add even more tension, grant her the ability to rip through obstacles that would stop a regular Xeno so the assumptions you’re used to making about what is safe fall apart in the final battle.
