Compare the Lowest Bidder and Cost Efficiency for the transport ships and colonial marines.
With the State of the Art Personal Expedition Cruiser of Weyland, Richest Man in the Universe.

also take in note stasis can take a long time, maybe that el cheapo squad had been sent exploring long before, and just arrived much later? I mean if your ship moves even 1% slower, to a destination 1% farther, that could well mean 40 years difference

@The:
Way too many questions left unanswered.
Really surprised people are complaining about open-ended stories now. It used to be like a staple of classic sci fi.

The reason they have higher tech is because of the expectations of viewers for flashy special effects.
Come up with what you like to explain it, we all know that's the real reason!

It's easy! With a Cloned democrat Preznit in charge of military spending cuts the Colonial Marines were forced to make do with made in China S-Mart weapons and Civil War era surplus Corn Bread rations.
While uber rich, capitalist bastard Weyland had all the best tech money could steal… um err... buy.
-
yeah, definately not that special effects had progressed massively and these guys just love to show off. Couldn't be that.

And yet, somehow, it was still a lot cooler when the queen alien was made out of plastic trash bags.
