I mean i somewhat agree that Queen can just slam some big red button in cockpit.
But how aliens get empty drop ship fly down in the first place?

In a lot of the extended LORE the xeno queens are very powerful beings that have some form of a psychic power.
There's a few examples in some of the comics of xeno queens using a form of mind control on humans from long distances away.
So queen mind controlling someone on the ship? Then why crew are unable to see change in beheivor of this mind controlled human and stop him? Similar to someone being traitor on regular ss13 games. I mean there should be some way to prevent empty drop ship flying down on planet, and as i know currently there is none - empty drop ship flying down after evac is scripted inevitable?
It's not perfect but it's necessary to continue the flow of a round.
How would you transport benos to the Almayer in less "magical" way and also not too complicated to code?
I have only one idea: WY/UPP/CLF hackers doing all the wetwork, while Queen is just radomly slashing console, thus disabling firewalls and shit. This is nice explenation, no "Psychic omniscent hivemind" bullshit.
Introduce some traitor roles, whose purpose will be to get aliens on the ship. For example corporation want to have alive alien so they order someone among the crew to bring it in any cost, even if all crew die, and ship full packed of aliens then will arrive to corporation on autopilot.
So this traitor crews hack consoles and pressing buttons to ensure that aliens will get their free way on board. And other crew will have chance to spot their suspicious behavior and stop them.
With draw it's nothing, but that would be a draw with Benos and Marines pumped up full for a next stage of fight. I didn't said it's bad, I said it's anti-climatic.
Also benos would cry if something doesn't directly depends on their action. Can you imagine acid salt generated by benos who would complain about unrobust traitors?
