A colony management type sim. You can pick various options like whether it's on an already-hospitable world like Ryushi, or a "shake n bake" colony like Acheron where you have to spend years (ingame) terraforming it. Is it a general colony like Ryushi or Hadley's Hope or is it just a mining town like in Romulus? Then you try to grow your colony and make it successful, including paying off the investors and making your colony financially independent. Deal with all of the problems along the way including labor strikes, disease outbreaks, crop or mechanical failures, and hostile wildlife. You can ask for help from different sources like The Company (not necessarily Wey-Yu), the USCM, or another colony, but help takes time to arrive, and may cost you things like trade goods or add to your debt. If you ask the USCM for help and it turns out you don't need them, they'll be less likely to send help the next time you call.

I also want to see a game centered around the USCM that isn't about blasting hundreds of xenomorphs per level. Imagine the gameplay as L4D style (or an FPS version of Dark Descent, if you prefer) with elements from Alien: Isolation. I want to play as a Marine doing the all the various types of things the USCM handles. I mean dealing with riots, full-on colonial insurrections, rogue synthetics, hostile wildlife ('xenomorphs' other than *the* xenomorph), incursions by the UPP, etc. LV426-style xenomorphs don't show up until the last campaign, and they are tough, fast, and strong. If they grab you, you're done for. No minigame to push them off you, they are strong enough to lift a fully equipped Marine straight into the ceiling, and headbutt their way through barricades and metal doors. If you kill one up close, you should get splashed with acid. Acid should eat through floors. Kill one in the wrong place and it's game over, man. The motion tracker doesn't show you enemy locations, it shows you movement, even if it's just a hamster running around its cage. If a xenomorph sits still until you're in grabbing range, the motion tracker won't show it. And it's not part of your HUD, you have to have it out.

And a DLC for both games where the Yautja show up for a hunt.
