Probly move one to a reboot or a like story minus all the voice acting/dumb narrative.
Why not start with the beginning? A mix of finding her, incorporating her in the military and missions on 3 or 6 separate worlds that make her the great enemy of the space pirates?
The narrative would work from her perspective in a cold new yet familiar environment. IE her frist contact with the space marines or a colony or the human powers that be, after shes given the suit, they watch her from a distance and let her scurry about and explore the base/colony/area with basic suit powers(something like the zero suit but with rag cloths or poncho over it) Shes small so when she figures out ball mode its kind her in a ball like fetal position in a energy ball that warps her size a bit. Every suit power is new and limited, missiles are simple homing/seeking dubs, to shoot the blaster she has to charge it first. Most of her child fights are against cleaning or maintenance bots, they see each other as a nuance, she wants to explore scavenge and they want to clean/repair and observe her.
Militarily training is short and sweet her going through a simple mission with a Space marine team that ends with a wild Ripley blowing up a few things and escaping with something he had a few scuffs with her where she was left alive and each fight his hatted for her grows this spurns him no to join the space pirates.
Then you get the normal missions across 4-8 worlds, each world has a completely different environment, you investigate a site and are given orders as you go.Suit powers are paced via damage and just learning about the suit and the ancient chozo.
Now you minimize the silent protagonist bit by giving her simple 3 answers to all or most questions which are answered by action versus talking, the hud gives you 2-3 locations to go to shoot,ect(move to,move away,shoot object,ceiling,ect) or just have a dailog answer to select and she dose the action after.
She should not talk, why? Look at Metroid:AM its bad enough they will want to make random crap around her speak adding to the horror by making her speak pretty much kills the series that much more.
