Perhaps the 99.9% scientifically accurate Alien has a space rover named Kane that finds a space covid among its samples, which is transported to the international space station, against the will of the Joint Operations Commander Ripley.

Perhaps all the ships have an internal gravity centrifuge somewhere.

If it hasn't been addressed yet, maybe Gaska should consider it for the rpg.

No need to revisit literally 20 year old posts from another forum. :)

The source material?  Let's see, let's see... Ah, here we are.  In the source material, Lambert (aka the Nostromo's navigator) said: "It's a planetoid.  Twelve-hundred kilometers."
