Why did it take the colonists 20 years to find the ship?
How could the colonists settle the planet without noticing the alien ship and its beacon? Even if the beacon were no longer sounding, shouldn't they have spotted the alien ship? And if they didn't, how did they suddenly find the ship when Burke told them to look for it?

It took however long to find the derilict because the colinists usually didn't stray far out of Hadleys Hope. But Burke sent company orders for them to go searching for it. - it makes this clear in the movie when Ripley and Burke fight in the med lab, and even clearer in the Directors Cut.

it was 60years and it's a big planet with the ship being covered and storms would make surveying a long drawn out task ..we have just inthe past ten years finnally surveyed the earth.

They use humans for incubators but what do they eat? In the first movie, the little worm escapes from the chest of the unfortunate individual and some time later, in its much larger form, it begins to kill. What did it eat to provide it with the energy to grow?
