Genestealers are not exactly like the xenomorph aliens-- they're even MORE devious than the monsters in the Alien movies. 

At least you can count on Alien to eat you and/or lay babies in your face.  The genestealer infects you, and then your DNA is polluted-- generations later, your hybrid alien grandkids start telepathically communicating to the hive fleet.

Interesting idea. A huge, derelict, ancient alien ship that moves slowly across a system from deep space. Extremely powerful passive defences but you can attempt to board it and learn its secrets. While exploring, perhaps with a Xeno team, there is the chance of predatory alien lifeforms emerging from hiding to attack your team and its marine defenders. The longer your team spends on the ship, the more chance there is of learning some random alien technology. Definite possibilities. The main thing would be to make the defensive technology so advanced that you couldn't simply blow it up, or perhaps have some form of suicide charge so that if you do blow it up there isn't any wreckage :)

Might have to add an evacuate order so a ship can load ground forces from an alien vessel. Wouldn't be in v5.50 but possibility for the future.

Or perhaps theres the risk that you fully activate the ships technology enabling it to manufacture precurser ships - which could explain why they are spread about the galaxy. These folks have wondering around millions of years at sublight speed building precurser ships and sensor posts on some random automated exploration mission in systems they visit.

I'll brief my marines to start training now then :)

Maybe we should have a different kind of large precursor ship that appears at random and spawns Genestealers :)

How about putting a chance of some advanced tech on these 'hulks' so folks don't just blow them apart on sight?

I don't know how you get your hands on advanced tech, but 'boom-BOOM-salvage' is the approved Alzarian approach.

They should also infect planets and cause them to rise up against their rulers :)  Maybe we should have a different kind of large precursor ship that appears at random and spawns Genestealers :)

Tyranid ships should de-terraform planets with liquid hydrospheres. 

muahahahahaha
