Continuity[]
Service Skiffs are maneuverable and are capable of making short journeys in space. These are capable of connecting directly with outer hatches of spacecrafts allowing boarding parties access. They appear and are used in the opening sequence and in the level Distress and by Hicks and Stone in the level Stasis Interrupted.
In the level Stasis Interrupted both Hicks and Stone use a Service Skiff from the Sulaco and fly the spacecraft for Fury 161, this is contrary with the films were the USS Sulaco appears and in film Aliens after the UD4L Cheyenne crashes on the surface it is suggested that the only way off the surface is by using the second UD4L Cheyenne.
These spacecrafts were added into gameplay in Aliens: Colonial Marines so that it linked into both films showing that Ripley survived from the EEV jettison on Fury. There is no gameplay on the surface but a map appears.as part of Movie Map pack.
