comment Avoiding meta-gaming in combat
This question is sort of vague. What are some examples of metagaming that you are trying to aviod? Positioning and power selection is tactics, not metagaming. Also, rpg.stackexchange.com/q/7921/1069 and rpg.stackexchange.com/q/7500/1069 may be of some use to you.

comment Implementing xenomorph aliens in D&D 3.5e
I think a well-reasoned question about the exponential power of Aliens has a good chance of getting an excellent answer on scifi. I'm not even close to knowledgeable on the franchise though, so don't ask me how to form such a question :)

comment Implementing xenomorph aliens in D&D 3.5e
I think half of this question belongs on scifi.stackexchange.com and the other half is purely up to you as the implementer - though the question could be reworded to more clearly state your question. As it stands it feels kind of 'discussion-y'.

I like this idea. I may start individual email threads with each player to do this between sessions.

comment How can I make downtime interesting?
I do now have buy-in from the players. I asked them directly if they wanted to spend a few sessions roleplaying in town, or fast forward and get back to the action. The unanimous reply was to take some roleplaying opportunities.

@Aesin Good point. The group is just reaching epic tier, but haven't spent much time in the city since mid-paragon. So establishing them as the heroes of the city is one of my goals.

The "what are they going to do" question is covered by the linked question. This one is more about how to get players interested and invested in roleplaying. I'm not saying this answer is bad, but perhaps you want to split it between the two questions?
