Good point. Before this film, space travel was depicted as clean, brightly lit and very sanitary looking. But the Nostromo was a greasy, dingy, dripping mess filled with true blue-collar folk who were up in space not for exploration or anything noble, but to work and earn a paycheck.
The military aspect of Aliens loses this concept completely.
