Inspiration or coppright infringement?

Check out this shot

then tell me, if you have ever seen the movie "Aliens" (not ALIEN), if it doesnt look EXACTLY like the terraforming station on the planet in that movie.

Orillion: So trent, will you help us with the mission?

Trent: Sure, as long as I'm not shot at, knocked out, held at gunpoint, electrocuted, skewered alive by giant alien shapeshifters, have to dive out windows, or fight off spindly nomad incubi.

Other than the fact both are pyrimid shaped, I don't really see a comparison...

i think we all know that those are stolen plans of the egyptians
they wanted to reterraform earth to suit the great God of Egypt
but were stolen and tweaked for future use

Definitely different. It, Aliens, was bigger and had a opening you could fly into. Of course, someone could build one that size and have docking within, Hmmmm?

Maybe they both just had the same idea. Or maybe it was just coincidence.

Well if you look at the storage tanks I see a sort of Alien shaped shadow. Whats that over there!! *Points* *Releases facehugger on next poster*

Anyway, didn't Aliens have a different colour, and mud and stuff? And it was bigger, and didn't it have freaky pipes??
