[Alpha] Drop shuttle & Aliens

[Thrain]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Set up a system to alert marines about aliens on the drop shuttle under certain conditions. If there is less than say five marines the aliens can fly in unannounced. If there is more than five marines there is an announcement about unidentified life-signs on the drop shuttle.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
My theory is that this can help to ease some of the meta with marines knowing that aliens are coming on the drop shuttle. As it is right now, if they play completely in a non-meta fashion and 25+ aliens show up the marines are generally defeated before the fighting even begins. On the other hand, if only five aliens are on the shuttle and marines somehow work out the aliens are coming then the aliens have no hope of surprise ambushing. My idea is to formalize when and if the marines know the aliens are coming or not.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
When aliens use the shuttle in groups of five (number subject to change) or less then they can travel to the Sulaco without being detected. If six or more aliens are aboard the shuttle traveling to the Sulaco then Central Command or some sort of ship notification computer will alert the marines that "A group of unknown entities are detected inbound on the drop shuttle, prepare accordingly." The marines will then have as long as it takes the shuttle to move to try to prepare some defenses. That isn't long enough that a mega-fort could be constructed, but it also isn't going to result in the marines being completely ambushed and slaughtered before they can do anything. The goal is just to encourage some longer conflict rather than a strait up slaughter, while also preserving the alien's ability to do surprise raids on the ship if they feel like it, or even to sneak groups of aliens aboard.

I've seen groups of 15 aliens be destroyed by defenses previously setup by Marines. Number has to be increased greatly for this to work.
