Aliens Set The Standard

Nostromo was a tug towing a refinery platform.

Tried to make a Colonial Marine costume for Halloween a few years ago. Used BMX armour and some of the less dorky bicycle helmets. Ended up looking like a Motocross Borg with a dorky bicycle helmet. So I went with the Borg label. Added a Tennis racket and I was Bjorn Borg.
I think the Aliens Colonial Marine look is one that I see alot of fiction stories and computer games that try to copy. Look at the soldiers in Halo. Heck even the real soldiers today look like they came off a movie set. I don't know what those "monacles" do but like all the soldiers in Iraq hav'em.

Simple. Psychological Warfare! If they look advanced and powerful then they must be advanced and powerful, at least in mosts first impressions.
