They send a ship loaded to the hilt with android researchers, scientists and a battalion of marines/mech weapons. The protagonist of the movie, an android (male), is one of a new breed, one that has been developed to understand the feelings of love, grief and compassion. He is used as a kind of chaplain to the human marines. (Hell he could even be played by Lance Henriksen!) A young marine confides in him his fears of what might happen to him when they get there and eventually loses the plot and is thrown into confinement. The chaplain continues to talk with the young marine and is eventually convinced by him to gain control of the giant ship and crash it into the planet, causing the extinction of the Alien (on that planet at least). They get within the orbit of the planet, watched over suspiciously by the other android crew, and he manages to set a bomb in the main fuel reactor and escapes as the only survivor in an escape pod.
Now alone, he explores the planet, documenting everything, all of which is uploaded back to earth and discovers the brutally dark, twisted, insestuous culture of the alien. The far more abstract and surrealist world of Giger's art would be the true alien form and surroundings (think Landscape XVI by Giger) The movie would go back to the the feel of the original where you have a single person trying to survive the nightmare alien reality.
Eventually, the space jockey ship we see parked up in the first movie lands and the Aliens trade vast quantities of eggs with the crew in return for a collection of exotic alien species they have brought from their own planet. The Alien use them to diversify their race which they are genetically driven to do like a mutating virus (i.e the dog alien in Alien3 and maybe The Thing) By now, the chaplain realises the implications of the alien eggs leaving this planet and stows away on the ship. He discovers that the ship is on course to the space J's home planet and decides the best way to stop it getting its payload of eggs there is to trigger a face hugger which in turn impregnates the space J'. The space J see's his impending demise and lands on Acheron LV-426, metaphorically "going down with his ship" by staying seated in his command chair until the inevitable. The android chaplain steps off the ship to live out the rest of his battery life alone. The movie ends with a shot of the control panel of the space J ship sending out a message (initially thought to be a warning signal by Ripley in Alien) which is actually a homing beacon. Shot zooms from the panel through space at lightspeed to........a Predator
