The Derelict ship is NOT a weapon, nor is the Xeno

It could be that the derelict ship was some kind of a bomber to unlease the Xeno on humans, but doesn't that seem daft too? Are Xeno really a superior life form? I would say not.
They can't travel through space.
They are not as smart as humans.
They don't use guns, or weapons.
They are not perfect, and have weaknesses.
Lets face it, what is a Xeno going to do against an F-16, and obviously in the future we'd have something more deadly? Xenomorph Bugs could not wipe out humans. It would be one nasty pest to be sure. It would kill, could kill a significant part of the popluation. Xeno's are not worse than a lot of disease to be honest, nor more efficient killers.
Hand to hand we don't have a chance obviously, but "they bleed, and we can kill them". And let us not forget Ripley did just fine with the loader robot against a queen (regardless if the "queen" was part of Ridley's original lifecycle concept or not). I mean you can kill a Xeno with a couple clips of well placed .45 ACP.
It stands to reason that the Xeno creature is NOT the weapon, whatever created it could be. There are a lot of worse things that could come out of techology like this. Mutations of some kind of bio-mech-nano-DNA-goop can have all sorts of possibilities. Evolution over time has had very strange results on earth. Random, speed up evolution would be way more unpredictable. Much worse than a humanoid Xeno-reptile thing as nasty as it is. There are a lot of more disurbing things in Geigers art than the Xeno alien anyway, and way darker roads to go with bio-mech-DNA-Goop.
Hell being genetically fused to a chair and spaceship into a collective being is more disturbing to me.
Some kind of bio-mech planet seeding or destroying virus goop is much more more sinister, disturbing, and more efficient.
What if the stuff turned an entire planet an all its life into one bio-mechanical living organism. Disturbing!
