157 colonists.
Wouldn't exactly be that number but close enough.
yeah, im not arguing just elaborating. Well newt didn't get facehugged, the one that came out of that woman got killed shortly after bursting and one of the colonists died before embryo implantation via attempt at removing the facehugger so that's down to 154 colonists at that point.
You then have the variables of not everyone might have survived attacks and weren't used as hosts, although the majority of them probably would be. Also some of the marines were cocooned and aliens that show up later in the film would be the ones which burst out of dietrich and apone..etc., not just colonists.
So the number is still over 100 aliens. About 10-12 are killed in the atmosphere processing station battle, as per estimate. (hicks, hudson, drake and vasquez all killed at least 2-3 of them)
